Stuart Little is a live action film, of the year 1999 and happens to be very loosely based on the novel of the same name. In the film there is indeed a prolific combination of live action and computer animation. The screenplay of the film was co written by M. Night Shyamalan and also Greg Brooker, in conjunction with uncredited script doctoring by David O. Russell and Billy Ray. Michael J. Fox is the voice of the titular character Geena Davis and Hugh Laurie star as Eleanor and Fredrick Little, with Jonathan Lipnicki as the big brother of Stuart, George and Nathan Lane as the voice of the family cat Snowbell.
The film begins with Mr. and Mrs. Little and their son George on the day of adoption. Mr. and Mrs. Little go to an orphanage and are asked to pick a child to adopt. When they cannot decide Stuart pops out of nowhere and the Littles immediately fall in love with him. George doesn\'t take to him at first, asking why his parents have decided to adopt a mouse.
The same goes for Snowbell the cat who attempts to eat Stuart upon his arrival. Snowbell then goes to see the character "Smokey" (whose dialogue sounds similar to that of Don Vito Corleone from the highly acclaimed film, The Godfather), the boss cat and the antagonist of the film who arranges for Stuart to be "scratched out" (killed). In the end Snowbell causes Stuart to run away but feels so bad about it that he joins Smokey\'s hunt for Stuart in order to rescue him. He reveals the truth to Stuart and in the end Stuart and Snowbell team up against Smokey, his goon cats and Snowbell\'s friend Monty. Snowbell manages to defeat Monty and the goons but Smokey comes after him and tries to kill him. Stuart defeats Smokey and it is indicated that he is later killed by dogs. Snowbell lets Stuart ride on his back to the Little House where they reunite with the family.
The film was voted in a Channel 4 poll as the 100th greatest family film of the century.
