Stop-Motion Filming and Performance: A Guide to Cameras, Lighting and Dramati…

Stop-motion animation has long been perceived as a technical practice rather than a creative, demanding art.

Stuart Little (Widescreen)

This live-action version of E.B. White's novel doesn't have quite the magic of, say, Toy Story. Instead of entertainment the whole family can be enthralled with, Stuart Little is squarely aimed, and successfully so, at the 4- to 10-year-old watcher. Does this make it a bad family film?
