Re: the following excerpt:

some have claimed that the films' most remarkable special effect is British actor Hugh Laurie's convincing American accent.

This is objectionable for two reasons.

First, it isweaselly.

Second, I can't agree that there is anything at all remarkable about British (or Irish, Australian, South African etc.) actors being able to do convincing American accents. Consider very brieflyKenneth Branagh inDead Again,Russell Crowe andGuy Pearce inL.A. Confidential,Cate Blanchett inBandits,Liam Neeson inDarkman,Daniel Day-Lewis inGangs of New York,Judy Davis inThe Ref,Charlize Theron inThe Devil's Advocate (this wasbefore she decided to just talk in an American accent all the time) andNicole Kidman in a couple of dozen movies.

So I am removing it.

As well you should, as this article is about the book, not the film.Mercurywoodrose (talk)05:48, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Read the book, you'll find out. I hear it may be coming out soon.Mercurywoodrose (talk)05:48, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stuart wasn't adopted and there was no orphanage. He was born to humans and, in the words of the doctor, "it was very unusual for an American family to have a mouse." I need to read the editing faqs before I change anything, though - anyone who's read the book want to fix it?Bibliomom (talk)02:39, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've long wondered where Stuart's friend Margalo got her unusual name. Finally got around to googling and up popped Margalo Gillmore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margalo_Gillmore), a New-York-based actor who was a contemporary of White's and a member of the Algonquin Round Table. It seems likely that White and Gillmore were acquainted. Anybody know how he came to use the name Margalo?Bthoenen (talk)01:58, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In the December 6, 2021 New Yorker an article by Jill Lepore (The Lessons of “The Lorax”) has the aside: "Like the long-ago banning of E. B. White’s “Stuart Little,” by the New York Public Library". Can anybody expand this?Sparafucil (talk) 22:42, 28 November 2021 (UTC) Ah, I see it's covered in the 21 July 2008 IssueThe Lion and the MouseSparafucil (talk)22:54, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

These categories are for character articles, not book articles:

Category:Fictional mice and rats

Category:Literary characters introduced in 1945

This category is appropriate as it is a book related category

Category:Children's novels about mice and rats
