Stuart Little (movie)

Stuart Little is a 1999 American Family comedy movie. It was directed by Rob Minkoff and was produced by Douglas Wick. Stuart Little was released on December 17, 1999. The movie is loosely based on the E. B. White novel, Stuart Little.

The movie gained positive reviews from critics and holds a 66% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Stuart Little was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, but it lost to The Matrix. The movie spawned a sequel in 2002 titled Stuart Little 2, a short-lived TV show Stuart Little: The Animated Series in 2003, and another sequel in 2006, Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild which went direct-to-video.

The movie was both Estelle Getty's last movie before she retired in 2000 as well as her last movie before her death in 2008.

Filming
Principal photography began on September 7, 1998, both on location in New York City and Central Park, and on soundstages at the Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California, where Stage 30 was converted into the set for the boat race scene and Stage 15 became the exterior of the 5th Avenue street on which the Little family lives. After twelve weeks, filming wrapped on December 16. The entire shoot was described as "smooth" and "enjoyable" by the crew members.
