O Pequeno Stuart Little

Every imperious toss of Snowbell's head and twitch of his petulantly bowed mouth synchronizes so smoothly with Lane's dialogue that at times he seems remarkably close to being like a real-life talking cat.

A terrific family movie based on a terrific book.

Doesn't even get close to the spirit of White's wonder - filled but hilariously matter - of - fact story.

There's a winking sense of wit about the brightly designed production.

[Uses] class and ethnic stereotypes in support of the idea that it's best to be adopted by rich white people.

The use of digital effects to create a tiny mouse hero is quite convincing, as are the talking mouths on those cats.

Lively offscreen (and onscreen) performances from Michael J. Fox, Nathan Lane, David Alan Grier and others.

The single best thing about Stuart Little is Nathan Lane.

Stuart Little is an exciting fantasy adventure for kids with more than enough verbal and visual wit to tickle adult funny bones.

The season's most promising family draw.

Stuart Little is top-notch.

Stuart Little doesn't have the exuberant inspiration or seamless, polished dazzle of Toy Story 2, but if the latter is sold out at the multiplex this weekend, the mouse is a passable substitute.

Michael J. Fox is amusingly spunky as the voice of Stuart while Nathan Lane, as Snowbell's voice, is appropriately, well, catty.

There's nothing very involving about this Rob Minkoff-directed effort.

With real heart and laughs, Stuart Little lets you forget the special effects and enjoy the show.

The interspecies mischief makes for a charming family movie about feeling different, being bullied, and fitting in.

Ms. Davis infuses her quirky appeal with the warmth she showed in her Oscar-winning turn in The Accidental Tourist.

Patronizing and predictable.

It's too bad that Stuart Little doesn't quite measure up to the extraordinary sweetness of the classic children's book by E.B. White on which it is based.
