Fan CastingStuart Little (1987)

Eleanor and Frederick Little are intending to adopt a younger brother for their older son, George. They visit the orphanage where they become attached to a young anthropomorphic white mouse named Stuart, adopting him. George is not pleased and refuses to acknowledge Stuart as his brother since he is an animal while the Littles' cat Snowbell also feels jealous of Stuart and treats him with contempt. One day, Stuart gets stuck in the washing machine after George accidentally throws him down the laundry chute with his pajamas while Eleanor does a load of laundry. Eleanor saves Stuart from drowning in the washer, but he became sick from the incident as he coughs up soap bubbles from the detergent that he swallowed.
