People revisit Stuart Little for the same reason it broke through in 1999: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a fantasy rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Rob Minkoff keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The family and fantasy blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
