Stuart Little (1999) [w/Commentaries]

When the Littles go to an orphanage to adopt a new family member, a charming young mouse named Stuart is chosen. While George is initially unwelcoming to his new brother, the family cat, Snowbell, is even less enthusiastic about having a mouse as his "master" and plots to get rid of him. Against these difficulties, Stuart resolves to face them with as much pluck, love and courage as he can muster. In doing so, he shows his beloved new family that great things can truly come in small packages.



Commentaries:
1) Audio Commentary: Director Rob Minkoff and Animation Supervisor Henry Anderson tell the story of how Stuart Little become a movie, the arduous task of bringing Stuart to life, the challenges of working with both digital and live-action characters, the work of the human cast, and other tidbits. As one might expect, the track focuses most heavily on the digital work and shooting live action while assuming the later insertion of the digital character. Fans interested in how a hybrid digital/live action movies come to life will find much value in this track.
2) Audio Commentary: Visual Effects Supervisors John Dykstra and Jerome Chen further elaborate on the nitty-gritty details of all the hard digital work that went into making Stuart Little.
