Minus the genetic puzzler, the tale hemorrhages much of the original's charm and irreverence, instead chirping along as a treacly but innocuous allegory about fitting in and finding the meaning of family (Hugh Laurie and Jerry Maguire's Jonathan Lipnicki round out the Little clan). As for the mouse himself, this Stuart -- computer-generated and voiced by Michael J. Fox -- lacks the waggish, indomitable edge of his literary counterpart. He even shrinks from his furball foe, Snowbell the cat (Nathan Lane), who mews one line too many about feline flatulence. Such details, of course, are a modern affront to White's arch world of mice and men, a clear sign that this rodent romp likes its cheese.
