...Michael Jackson. His troubles have made l'affaire Woody a quaint and distant memory. The year began well for Jackson -- a performance at Clinton's pre- Inaugural gala, a Super Bowl half-time spectacle, a TV chat with Oprah that conveyed to tens of millions the impression that he was just a regular guy who was dating Brooke Shields -- but then came the summer of disaster. Charges of child molestation, criminal inquiries, an abandoned world tour, lawsuits, drug addiction, a bizarre disappearance and mysterious return have brought real- world, grownup horror to the owner of Neverland Ranch -- horror he eventually...

Luckily, for those of us who really enjoy cute little things, “Little,” along with the two other characters competing for the uber-adorable prize—a fish with a bowl on his head and a furry orange alien—there’s some nice stuff to look at. But looking seems to be all that Disney wants us to do in this film. Disney may have conquered its animation problems, but until it gets to the root...
