Stuart Little, also known as Stuart Little: The Animated Series, is an American animated television series, loosely based on the 1945 E. B. White children's book Stuart Little,[1] as well as the live-action / animated film adaptations. It was produced by Red Wagon Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television for the HBO Family digital cable television channel and aired for one season of 13 episodes.[2]
Premise
[edit]Taking place after the events of the first two films, the series focuses on the adventures of Stuart Little, a mouse adopted by a human family. Stuart is bold, imaginative, and adventurous and he sees everyday objects as huge props. Although the series was traditionally animated, each episode featured a CGI-esque Stuart who would recount an event that would open and end in every episode. The series teaches children problem solving and feel satisfied for their accomplishments.
