Few characters capture the enduring spirit of adventure and belonging quite like Stuart Little. The two-inch-tall mouse, famously adopted by the human Little family in New York City, remains a beloved figure from both E.B. White’s 1945 novel and the iconic 1999 live-action/CGI film trilogy. As of today, December 22, 2025, the franchise is experiencing a surprising resurgence of interest, driven by recent cast updates and major studio discussions about a new, more faithful adaptation.

The original film, a groundbreaking blend of live-action and state-of-the-art visual effects by Sony Pictures Imageworks, launched a global phenomenon. Nearly three decades later, the legacy of Stuart, his voice actor Michael J. Fox, and the rest of the Little family continues to dominate online discussions, with new developments suggesting the tiny hero is poised for a big-screen return.

Michael J. Fox: The Enduring Voice of Stuart Little

The heart and soul of the film character, Stuart Little, was his unmistakable voice, provided by Canadian-American actor Michael J. Fox. Fox voiced the character in all three films: Stuart Little (1999), Stuart Little 2 (2002), and the direct-to-video animated feature Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild (2005). His career is one of the most celebrated in modern Hollywood, marked by iconic roles and profound philanthropic work.

Michael J. Fox: A Biographical Snapshot

  • Full Name: Michael Andrew Fox (uses Michael J. Fox professionally).
  • Born: June 9, 1961, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
  • Key Roles: Alex P. Keaton on the sitcom Family Ties (1982–1989), Marty McFly in the Back to the Future trilogy (1985–1990), and Mike Flaherty on the sitcom Spin City (1996–2000).
  • Voice Roles: Stuart Little (1999–2005), Milo Thatch in Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001).
  • Diagnosis: Diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson's disease in 1991, which he publicly disclosed in 1998.
  • Activism: Founded The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research in 2000, which has become the largest non-profit funder of Parkinson's drug development in the world.
  • Recent Activity: In recent interviews, Fox has discussed his ongoing work with the Foundation and his openness to taking on new acting projects, particularly voice work, which he finds less physically demanding.

Despite his retirement from full-time acting due to the challenges of Parkinson's, Fox’s legacy remains vibrant. His distinctive, energetic voice gave Stuart the perfect blend of innocence, determination, and optimism, making the character instantly lovable to millions of children and adults worldwide. His recent updates confirm his continued dedication to advocacy, maintaining a public presence that keeps the "voice of Stuart" in the public eye.

The Stuart Little Cast: Where Are They Now?

The film’s success was built on the chemistry of the Little family, played by a stellar ensemble cast. While Michael J. Fox's career trajectory is well-known, the lives of his human co-stars have seen various twists and turns, providing some of the freshest updates for fans today.

The Struggles and Comeback of George Little

Jonathan Lipnicki, who played Stuart's older brother George Little, was one of the most recognizable child stars of the late 90s, also famous for Jerry Maguire. In recent years, Lipnicki has been candid about his struggles to transition from child stardom to adult acting.

He recently shared a heartbreaking update about his career, admitting that it wasn't where he wanted it to be. However, he has continued to work, most recently appearing on the TBS sitcom prank show The Joe Schmo Show, where he plays a fictionalized version of himself.

The Littles and the Feline Villain

Geena Davis (Eleanor Little) and Hugh Laurie (Frederick Little) brought warmth and eccentricity to the parents who adopt a mouse. Geena Davis remains a prominent actress and is also a celebrated advocate for gender equality in media through the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media.

Hugh Laurie, already a respected actor, achieved massive global fame after the Stuart Little films for his lead role as Dr. Gregory House in the medical drama House. Meanwhile, Nathan Lane, the voice of the perpetually grumpy and scheming cat Snowbell, continues to be one of Broadway and Hollywood’s most decorated and in-demand actors.

The Shocking Remake Rumors: A Return to E.B. White's Vision

Perhaps the most significant and newest development for the franchise is the persistent rumor of a reboot. For years, fans have speculated about a Stuart Little 4, with some unconfirmed fan wikis even projecting a sequel titled Stuart Little 4: Finding Margalo for 2024 or 2025.

However, the more concrete and widely reported news is that Sony is planning a *Stuart Little* remake.

A More Faithful Adaptation

The new film is reportedly being developed as a more accurate and faithful adaptation of E.B. White’s 1945 children's book. The original film took significant liberties, particularly in giving Stuart a permanent home with the Little family, whereas the book is a more episodic adventure story that ends with Stuart still on a quest to find his missing friend, the bird Margalo.

A remake that adheres closer to the novel's structure would explore deeper themes of identity, the search for belonging, and the nature of the human-mouse dichotomy, which were central to White's literary vision.

The Enduring Power of the Mouse-Boy

E.B. White, the author of other classics like Charlotte's Web and The Trumpet of the Swan, created a character whose appeal is timeless. Stuart is a two-inch-tall boy who simply happens to resemble a mouse. His story is one of perseverance in a world not built for him, tackling complex themes like adventure, loneliness, and the true meaning of family.

The original film was a technical marvel, with the CGI mouse seamlessly interacting with live-action actors, a revolutionary feat for its time. Any modern reboot would need to match this level of technical innovation while capturing the emotional core that Michael J. Fox and the original cast established.

The Legacy of Stuart Little on Modern Cinema

The 1999 film was a major box office success and paved the way for future live-action/CGI hybrid films. The meticulous work by Sony Pictures Imageworks to render Stuart's fur and movements realistically set a new standard for creature animation.

The film's impact is evident in the ongoing discussion about its cast and the anticipation for a remake. Whether the new adaptation will feature a different voice actor or if Michael J. Fox might return for a cameo remains a subject of intense speculation among fans and industry insiders.

The little mouse from New York City continues to prove that size is no measure of heart, and his story—in book, film, or a potential new remake—will continue to inspire generations.
