Hold On to the Good Things

Spectacular digital animation and a nice story.

I have a personal affection for this film because it's the first one I've seen with modern digital animation featuring birds. Birds are tough to do in animation and they are done exceptionally well in this particular kids film.

The story is the usual Stuart Little for those who might remember the stories from childhood. Kids will like it and adult viewers who lack the excuse of taking the kids will not suffer too much for it. In this story, Stuart Little finds himself a little lonely until a female canary falls out of the sky into his company complaining of an injured wing and a pursuing hawk. Stuart is smitten, of course, but it turns out the canary's past has some unfortunate complications.

The cast is just fantastic. Nathan Hale shows up as the white Angora cat -- again -- reprising his role in "Cats and Dogs". There is also some excellent musical pieces that anyone should enjoy. Best of all the animation is very nearly perfect. The colors seem a little intense, but this is in character with the style of the book which is a very poised fantasy.
