Let your imagination go with this film...
I watched this movie for the first time at my mother's house last month, and I thought it was a wonderful and charming movie for children of all ages, and for adults as well. It is important to remember while viewing this movie that it is a FANTASY, and it shouldn't be over-analyzed. This is a world where a loving human family can adopt a sweet little talking mouse as their son, so anyone making the argument that there were some unbelievable aspects to this film isn't really making much of an argument! Also, I do not think this movie will scare adopted children because it has a very positive message about adoption: You don't have to be biologically related, or look the same, or be able to do the same things as your mom, dad, or brothers and sisters in order to be family. Family is about love and a feeling of belonging. Stuart learns this when he spends some time with other mice for awhile and realizes he wants to be with his human family because he belongs with them.So, all in all, I would strongly suggest this film to anyone looking for a sweet family movie, or one with stunning special effects and some funny moments adults can enjoy. It does have a message, it is believable in its own right, and it shouldn't scare kids, adopted or not.
