One of the nice things about having my own DVD library is the ability to watch a movie at a moment’s notice. Yesterday, I had a conversation with my 3-year old daughter, when she mentioned she’s too small to drive a car. It reminded me of the movie Stuart Little, where the image that popped in my mind was the little mouse driving a red Dragster. I took the movie off the shelf and played it for her. She instantly loved it. I have forgotten how charming the movie really is. The story was full of love and care. It’s a great family movie. It’s also fun to see an animated talking mouse and cat, blended right into the scenes. The movie has a pretty good set of cast with Michael J. Fox as the voice of Stuart Little. There’s also one of my favorite actor, Hugh Laurie, and Geena Davis as Mr. and Mrs. Little.
I went through the DVD features with my daughter. With the book style read-along, she attentively listened to Michael J. Fox read the words. Then, there was the Central Park Adventure Game, where my daughter answered a series of multiple choice questions. She actually answered most of them correctly! Plus, she enjoyed the dancing and singing in the music videos.
The DVD version that I have is the “Widescreen Collector’s Edition”. There is a newer version called “Deluxe Edition”, which is the studio’s way of saying “Buy another copy because we included more extra features.” Indeed, the deluxe version included additional featurettes, and deleted scenes. Currently, Amazon sells the new version for $8, so it’s a bargain.

Jot It Down
I watched Stuart Little a lot of times. I also both the DVD of the movie because I think the story is very good. It has a lesson to teach its viewers. It means, being physically small is not the reason or hindrance to achieve your goals.

That’s one of the message. I also take the message that we, humans, can love anyone (and anything), if we put our hearts into it.
nice little review. I havent seen this movie in awhile. Never got around watching the sequel from start to finish. Maybe Ill return to it alittle later. Glad your daughter enjoyed it, its a very family friendly film.

Hey Farzan,
Yeah, it’s a great family movie. It’s funny how I started collecting DVDs for me, now I ended up collecting movies for the family. Now, I generally don’t movies that I can’t share with the entire family – unless it’s very very very good.
I did watch Stuart Little, all series of it (I think it’s three) and I like the story a lot. Great animation and screen graphics as well.
Suart Little Rocks!
