Stuart Little
First screened in February 2020
Director: Rob Minkoff. Cast: Voice of Michael J. Fox, Geena Davis, Hugh Laurie, Jonthan Lipnicki, Jeffrey Jones, Connie Ray, Allyce Beasley, Brian Doyle-Murray, Estelle Getty, Harold Gould, voices of Nathan Lane, Bruno Kirby, Jennifer Tilly, Chazz Palminteri, Steve Zahn, David Alan Grier, Jim Doughan. Screenplay: M. Night Shyamalan, for real, and Greg Brooker (based pretty loosely on the novel by E.B. White).

Twitter Capsule: Quite advanced effects and animation for its time, yielding a cheerful but compact lark, mostly sweet, kinda garish.

VOR:   I wrote this about the movie and the intensive work that went into creating Stuart and his world. Technologically, it's significant. Artistically? Mmm...
