Stuart Little

Stuart Little is a 1999 live action/computer animated comedy film directed by Rob Minkoff and based on the novel of the same name by E.B. White.

Plot
When Frederick little and his wife go look for a brother for their son George, They've adopted a mouse named Stuart, but their Cat Snowbell doesn't like it, and tries to get rid of him.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Brilliant acting and voice acting, especially from: Michael J. Fox (The same guy who played Marty McFly in Back to the Future and it's sequels), Hugh Laurie, and Geena Davis.
 * 2) The direction by Rob Minkoff was great and is arguably his best post-Lion King film.
 * 3) Great CGI animation for the animals, even for 1999 standards.
 * 4) The story is fantastic and obviously stays true to the source material (for the most part).
 * 5) Great soundtrack that is absolutely charming. The score by Alan Silvestri was brilliant and "You're Where I Belong" by Trisha Yearwood was great. And the ending credits music "1+1=2" by Lou Bega is likeable.
 * 6) Likable and entertaining characters, such as Stuart, George, Snowbell, Mr. Little, and Mrs. Little.
 * 7) *Stuart Little himself is the reason why this is a very cute and adorable movie.
 * 8) The first sequel that followed it was good.
 * 9) Smokey is a pretty hilarious and enjoyable villain, Chazz Palminteri (who even voices Buster from Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure).
 * 10) The morals are well-taught and aren’t jammed down your throats, for example, the boat race scene teaches us that cheating (at times) isn't going to make you always win.
 * 11) The jokes are great and funny.
 * 12) Great, easily quotable, and memorable lines of dialogue, like "Little high, little low", "I'm a cat! You’re a mouse!" and "I'm Stuart Little!"
 * 13) The writing is really good and amazing.
 * 14) Brilliant cinematography, especially for late 1999, which makes the movie a lot of fun to watch.
 * 15) The Roadster is a really awesome vehicle, heck, it's even mouse-sized! (Get it?).
 * 16) The chemistry between Stuart and Snowbell is well-developed. Although Snowbell hated him at first, he goes as far as saving Stuart from Smokey's gang at the near end of the film.
 * 17) * On top of that Snowbell has some good character development, as he turns from being a big jerk to Stuart to becoming nicer, even though he can still show sides of his jerk side even after.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Snowbell can be a jerk sometimes (though that's the point of his character), due to how he treated Stuart before he changed.
 * 2) The story can be predictable at times, and can take some liberties from the source material, though it's understandable because it really didn't had to be 100% accurate to the original source material like the change of Stuart being adopted by the Littles because being born to human parents in the source material is unrealistic and a little creepy.
 * 3) While the CGI was great for it's time, it hasn't aged the best and looks a little cartoony by today standards.
 * 4) The humor can be kind of annoying sometimes, despite being funny most of the time.
 * 5) Stuart and George Little's parents, while still likable and caring, are incredibly stupid and irresponsible. For example, they let Stuart go away with the mice strangers (who claimed to be his parents), without getting any legal verification or proof.

Trivia

 * This was Estelle Getty's final film before her retirement and subsequent death.
