Stuart Little 2 is that rarest of movie breeds, a sequel that surpasses its charming, popular predecessor to achieve near-classic status. Mr. & Mrs. Little (Hugh Laurie, Geena Davis) are portrayed with good-natured, storybook purity, and the rest of the movie follows suit, beginning when their lonely mouse "son" Stuart (perfectly voiced by Michael J. Fox) befriends an orphaned canary (Melanie Griffith), who is reluctantly stealing from the Littles for the villainous Falcon (James Woods). The con game turns into a search-and-rescue thriller, with family cat Snowbell (Nathan Lane) quipping like a borscht-belt comedian, but the real fun of Stuart Little 2 comes from Bruce Joel Rubin's hilarious, marvelously inventive screenplay and returning director Rob Minkoff's visually dazzling combination of live action and lavish computer animation. Matching the Babe movies as a wondrous marvel of family entertainment, Stuart Little 2 is an all-ages romp that's smart, sweet, and completely irresistible. --Jeff Shannon

From The New Yorker
Without sacrificing any of the magical allure of the 1999 original, this sequel chronicles the further adventures of an enterprising mouse (voice by Michael J. Fox) and his adopted human family (played by Geena Davis, Hugh Laurie, and Jonathan Lipnicki). The story here is more in keeping with E. B. White's cheeky children's classic. Stuart's dilemma-being scammed by a pretty bird (Melanie Griffith) and her falcon partner (James Woods) for his family's valuables-lets the movie explore themes of loneliness and trust playfully. The director Rob Minkoff paints an idealized vision of New York City, a land of doormen and afternoon tea. His movie feels like it's spun from sugar. -Bruce Diones

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Stuart Little 2
Excellent seller...buy with confidence from this seller. Item is exactly as advertised.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great!
As others have said, this is one sequel that far surpasses the original. While the first was rather dark, this one is bright and cheery, from the set and costume deign (bright colors abound) to the faces of the actors. Great story, great voice work and best of all, my almost-3-year old just LOVES it (we've seen it about 20 times in the past couple weeks). YIKES, what've I done?? ***

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good but not as good as the first one
I don't think they could have topped the first Stuart Little even if they tried their hardest, but this sequel is almost just as good. Michael J. Fox is back as the voice of Stuart and Nathan Lane is back too as the voice of Snowbell. In this one Stuart is afraid that he is too small to have any friends and even thinks that he is too small to acomplish anything. But he just has to remember what Mr. Little said, "Every cloud has a silver lining." And then one day a bird named Margalo falls into his car while running away from a falcon. He takes Margalo home and they get to know each other and become good friends, but Margalo is not who Stuart thinks she is. Stuart wakes up one morning to find that Margalo is missing, so he and Snowbell set off on a dangerous journey to find her.

I wish that Monte would have been in this movie more, he had a pretty big part in the first one, and Snowbell is way too wimpy in this one. But other than that, Stuart Little 2 is a great movie that teaches the important values of friendship and honesty.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A Review For The VHS Version
I found Stuart's attraction to Margo to be very unrealistic, for what mouse would fall in love with an animal who could turn on him at any time? Sure, Margo was a pretty little bird, with a sweet voice and cute ways of doing things, but I just thought the whole "love" subject to be farfetched. I also found Margo caring for Stuart, but being forced to be against him by an "evil" hawk, falcon, or whatever it was, I can't remember, to be an over-used subject, although entertaining. All in all, I would say that this movie was good, but not as good as the first.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Sweet, Rollicking Film for the Whole Family
How can it be? "Stuart Little 2" is even better than the first movie. Stuart (gently voiced by Michael J. Fox) is feeling a little, well, small, and the over-protectiveness of his mother (Geena Davis) does nothing to boost his self-esteem. His brother George has become the hero of the soccer team, however unwittingly, and is breaking away from Stuart to be with his own friends. When Stuart rescues a charming canary named Margalo (voiced by Melanie Griffith) from a hawk, he swells with his new-found sense of heroism and develops a crush on his new friend. But things aren't what they seem. Margalo disappears, and Stuart fears the worst and sets out to rescue her again, this time enlisting the aid of family cat Snowbell (voiced by Nathan Lane.)

The comic scenes are hilarious and always clever, and the emotional ones are touching without going overboard. Stuart matures from a disheartened mouse smothered by motherly love to a courageous adventurer who wants nothing more than to do the right thing. The cinematic palette is ingenious, with vibrant colors reminiscent of a picture book. The true wonder of this film is Stuart himself, am adorable CGI with detailed fur and a face that expresses a wide range of emotions, making him seem lovably real.

This film is ideal for family entertainment, as adults will be charmed as much as the kids. Although Stuart faces danger, there's nothing here that will terrorize little ones, and they'll get a kick out of scenes such as Stuart's uncontrolled plane ride and his being lowered by a string down the drain. Buy this film instead of renting, as it's worth seeing more than once - and the kids will insist upon it.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Sort of like Toy Story on Qualudes
I can put up with the ages old wisdom of scaring the crap out of kids about the big scary world and the nasty people who live in it, and so what if the falcon is the bad guy and the rodent is the good guy so long as there are no BB guns under the tree, but lets have some fun! This is a kids movie. Stuart is sort of likeable and Snowball the cat has some good lines, but I only watch this sort of thing because I am sure I will feel good at the end and I ended up thinking this movie would make kids not want to go outside. Happy I watched it first.

Stuart little is a poor stepchild in a genre filled with excellent heartwarming films.(Aladdin, Lion King, Toy Story, Finding Nemo).


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A fun and good-natured movie for all ages.
This sequel to the 1999 original Stuart Little movie is every bit as good as that one and in some ways I would go as to say that it's even better.

The legendary mouse Stuart Little goes on an another adventure when after returning to a normal life with his human family, The Littles, Stuart finds himself developing a crush on a canary but she is in danger of being imprisoned by a tyrant falcon who hates mice and the female bird has never gotten a chance to migrate south with the rest of her species. She and Stuart's worlds collide one day and they've sparked a romance but after she is kidnapped by the evil falcon, Stuart Little and his former feline rival and now somewhat friend Snowbell work together and set out to find and rescue her from the evil falcon before it's too late.

This film is yet another good sequel in moviemaking that dodges the infamous sequel-slump and brilliantly continues the story from the first Stuart Little movie. The mix of live and computer animation is really excellent and even the canary and Stuart Little look almost realistic and perfectly blend in with the live footage. It may not be anything phenomenal but it is pure entertainment for those who just want plain fun without anything graphic nor beyond PG rated.

It's not necessarily an essential movie but this is certainly worth renting or at least checking out.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Stuart Little 2" is a fun movie for kids
I think "Stuart Little 2" is a better movie than its predecessor. The sequel has more humor, more effects, and is faster paced than the original. The effects in this film are stunning. Stuart Little has incredible detail in his movements and hair. The bird Margalo is also well animated. She moves just like a bird but still manages to have a cartoon kind of face. The falcon is pretty cool and evil looking, too. All in all, it's an amazing accomplishment by Sony Imageworks. The effects hold up particularly well on the small screen and the colors are bright and clear. The DVD presentation looks great.

The voices in this film were well cast. Though I despise Melanie Griffith, her voice fit the bird well. She had just the right mix of innocence and street smarts. James Woods is excellent any time he plays the bad guy, and his voice fits the evil falcon well. And if you saw the original then you know Michael J. Fox fits the mouse's voice perfectly. However, the show stealer is Nathan Lane as Snowbell. Pretty much all of the characters are dull compared to this cat. He has some of the funniest one-liners of any film this summer and steals the show any time he's on screen.

The music in "Stuart Little 2" is pretty good, too, and sounds great on a home theater system. You may find yourself tapping your toes to this soundtrack.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - An even more wild adventure
Engaging and fun, but not up to the mark set by the first Stuart Little movie. Not much level of plausibility, which was the case in the first movie, where you actually come to believe this little mouse is real. This movie takes on a video game aspect with plenty of action to keep kids enthralled to the very end. The animation team outdoes itself with the level of detail in their animation. Stuart's little eyes are so expressive and Margalo comes across as a winsome soulmate. The falcon steals the show, with James Woods adding a touch of humor to the "fierce creature," who creates quite a bit of tension in this movie. My little one (2-1/2) was a little worried about the fate of Stuart, but after multiple viewings feels assured as to the outcome. Now that the two movies come packaged together you might be better off buying the box set, if you don't already own the first movie.
