In EB White's world, it's hardly surprising that human parents
would adopt "outside their species". The smooth-talking mouse Stuart
(voiced by Michael J Fox) seems the perfect new child for parents
Geena Davis and Hugh Laurie, especially with an adorable wardrobe
of very small sweaters and pants. Stuart has more difficulty fitting
in with the Little's family cat, Snowbell (voiced by Nathan Lane,
who also deftly voiced Timon in director Rob Minkoff's last feature,
The Lion King). The simple story deals with Stuart trying to fit
in with his new life, including big brother George (Jerry Maguire
's scene-stealing Jonathan Lipnicki). And of course there's an adventure
when Snowbell's schemes put Stuart into real danger from the devious
plans of an alley cat named Smokey (voiced by Chazz Palminteri).
Brisk--85 minutes--amusing and tolerably cute, Stuart Little stands
tall.

Trapped behind barbed wire, fearing for their very lives, Ginger,
Bunty, Babs and Fowler are chickens with a mission. Ginger and her
fellow flock are determined to make a break for freedom but every
escape goes "fowl" when they are caught by the evil Mrs. Tweedy
and her oafish husband who want to turn them into chicken pies.
When an all-American rooster named Rocky lands in the farm, Ginger
sees her chance - these chickens won't cross the road; they'll fly
the coop. Together they prove that chickens are anything but, as
they escape in a daring and spectacular escape.
