User Review

Colorful, Charming, Nice Story Most People Should Like

Rating: 8/10


Wow, there are lots of name actors are either in front of the camera or
being used as voices in this unique animated-real life film. They use
real people and animals (except for fake mouths when the animals
"talk") and an animated mouse (Stuart, voiced by animation favorite
Michael J. Fox.) who looks incredibly life-like.

The colors in this movie are terrific, especially with the house that
the Little family lives in. The story has some clever stuff in it but
it strictly played for laughs and reactions since credibility is about
zero in many parts of this story. However, it's supposed to be
outrageous. I don't think Geena Davis has ever played a nicer role than
this. It was good to see. The husband was just as nice, played affably
by Hugh Laurie.

The jokes are good for the kids and adults. I know a couple of parents
who liked this movie even better than their kids, so don't believe it
when someone writes that this is a film strictly for kids. That is not
so. I did object to some profanity in here at the end, which seemed so
out of place, but it's hard to expect Hollywood to get everything
right.

The sequel to this film is even better!
