When Eleanor (Geena Davis) and Fredrick Little (Hugh Laurie) were asked by their son George (Jonathan Lipnicki) to adopt a little brother as opposed to a big one, they took his request too literally. One fine day they adopted Stuart (voiced by Michael J. Fox), a charming little mouse that can talk, walk upright and wear clothes. And from then on he embarked on unpredictable, comic and sometimes risky adventures. The family cat, Snowbell (voiced by Nathan Lane), who took an instant dislike to Stuart, gave him a cool welcome: he made an attempt to eat him, and then he set all the cats in the neighborhood on the mouse. After all, Stuart was kidnapped by small-time bandits. In order to return home, the new member of the Little family had to show his remarkable pluck and wits.
