Stuart Little 2 (2002)

The beginning gives a view of the setting, reminds you of how big it is for a character like Stuart and it could get some people thinking how is a mouse still going to survive in this big place like he did in the first film. It nearly has the same sort of scenes falling into the plot as the prequel but with more characters added into it. Stuart outsmarts his nerves getting to him and faces things head on, no matter how large the setting he lives in. He wants to make the effort to being in a human family and he does that by making his tiny little self useful to anything he is able to do. In that way he shows that being very tiny can have its fun side. George is not only a good brother towards Stuart but he temporary guides him into the things that a parents’ son would do. George has a good realisation of him being a brother instead of seeing him like a pet or a mixture of a pet and brother. The mother is a bit obsessively worried about Stuart, understandable but it’s less about because he is her son, it’s more about because he is a mouse and easily vulnerable. The father is a happy man and loves his family, supportive to Stuart…and to the mother who gets anxious. With the parents’ having different views of Stuart, it puts you in a position of what would you do if one of your family members was a talking mouse. Voice acting worked superbly for Stuart, Margalo, the villain and the other characters including Nathan Lane for Snowbell the cat, he had more funny lines and got into more dangerous but laughable seeing scenes. The whole story seems unusual but it’s something new and original and you see how it links with the traits of the baddie so it’s unable to be criticised. I like the ending and especially the song for the credits, it makes it beautiful and also nostalgic just like the spot on sound effects when I re-watch the film. This film tops its prequel and when I saw this one the first time, it was before watching the prequel anyway. If I ever feel like wanting to watch a Stuart Little film, it would always be likely to be the second one.
