To Maylin 1986 - Thank you for your comments. To confirm your views, I did work on Stuart Little. The Mouse and the Motorcycle helped Sony Pictures see what Stuart Little could be - but with much better technology.

[JohnClarkMatthews]

Thank you for your kind comments.

I don't think a German version exists anymore. Even the English version is almost impossible to find.

[JohnClarkMatthews]

There will be more, but not just my old films. J.C.M.

Fred Savage was in Runaway Ralph, the second of three mouse shows. He got the part for the Wonder Years while working on the show. He was a very talented kid. J.C.M.

There are three mouse films: The Mouse and the Motorcycle, Runaway Ralph, Ralph S. Mouse.

i could cry right now. i haven't seen this in twenty years. this was my favorite movie, we had it recorded on a vhs and i watched it all the time. felt a little like time travel seeing this again. thank you :K

When we made this film mid 80's, we felt pretty good about it. But as time went on, CGI made it look very crude. When I was at Sony Imageworks, many comments were made about it when we were starting Stuart Little. I always tried to pretend I was elsewhere. I find the kind comments here very touching. J.C.M.

@JohnClarkMatthews I think you and everyone else who's involved in having this go from books to movie(s) is a triumphant feat. As for the comments made during the making of Stuart Little, one day something will blow Stuart Little out of the water. That's just the way it works. The technology wouldn't be there to use if it wasn't for people like you being the person who decides to step outside the box. =) Ralph will always have a place in my heart first. <3 Good Job! :D
