Description
"Real life is only one kind of life—there is also the life of the imagination. And although my stories are imaginary, I like to think that there is some truth to them, too—truth about the way people and animals feel and think and act." —E.B. White
Published in 1945, E.B. White's classic book, Stuart Little, has sold more than 10 million copies. Because the story demanded that Stuart, the mouse, be as real as his human family, it took the imagination of many people, cutting-edge technology, and the commitment of hundreds of artists, engineers, and filmmakers to finally bring this endearing tale to the screen. Stuart Little represents the first time in movie history that digital stars—complete with personalities, performances, and life-like qualities—share the screen with live actors, both human and feline. How did they do that? This book answers that question in stunning detail.
Stuart Little combines live action with groundbreaking visual effects by the artists and innovators at Sony Pictures Imageworks who have taken digital character creation to a bold new level. The story of how this film was made is told through the words of the filmmakers: director Rob Minkoff, producer Douglas Wick, special effects pioneers John Dykstra and Jerome Chen, animation supervisor Henry Anderson III, costume designer Joseph Porro, production designer Bill Brzeski, special effects supervisor Eric Allard, composer Alan Silvestri, animal stunt coordinator Boone Narr, and many, many others, including members of the cast.
Here the filmmakers reveal how Stuart was created to look absolutely real, how the actors were cast for both the live-action movie and the voice-overs, how the incredible sets were constructed and designed, how the cats were trained to act on cue, how the music was scored, how the mechanical effects were filmed, and much more.
Stuart Little features Geena Davis as Mrs. Little, Hugh Laurie as Mr. Little, Jonathan Lipnicki as George, Michael J. Fox as the voice of Stuart, Nathan Lane as the voice of Snowbell the Cat, Julia Sweeny as Mrs. Keeper, and voice-overs by Jennifer Tilly, Bruno Kirby, Chazz Palminteri, Steve Zahn, and David Alan Grier.
Featuring the motion picture's complete shooting script by M. Night Shyamalan and Greg Booker; interesting, informative sidebars from the filmmakers and stars; quotes from E.B. White's original book; cast and crew bios and film credits; and illustrated throughout with more than 200 photos, paintings, blueprints, line drawings, concept art, and computer graphics—most in full color—this book is a joyful celebration not only of a film destined to become an American classic but of the evolution of Stuart, from the beloved mouse of the 1940s to an actor for the new millennium.
