Stuart Little 2 (2002)

 "Falcon: The party's over furface."


Stuart Little 2 is an American Adventure/Animation movie directed by Rob Minkoff (Mr. Peabody & Sherman) and released on July 19th 2002. The story revolves around a mouse named Stuart Little (Voiced by Michael J. Fox) who lives with the human Little Family. At first it shows his struggles in school and how hard life get for him when he tries to adapt to the human ways. For example he is the last substitute in a soccer gamebut then he is shot into the goal with the ball and is stuck in the net until his adoptive-parents Mr. Little (Hugh Laurie) and Mrs. Little (Geena Darvis) hae to help him out. One day as he usually is driving back home in his little car (no pun intended) a canary named Margalo (voiced by Melanie Griffith) falls into his passenger seat. Then Stuart sees a Falcon flying after her so he drives to his house as fast as possible and they get away. After Margalo is nurtured a bit and is healthier she reveals she had a broken wing and had been flying away from the falcon for a while until she finally fell. Later on Margalo and Stuart find a special connection as she is almost his size and they can do many activities together. But their friendship comes to a test when it is revealed that Margalo is actually working with the Falcon (voiced by James Woods) to steal all of Mrs. Little's jewelry. But then Margalo has second thoughts as she really likes Stuart so she tries to convince Falcon to rob another house. Falcon finds out about her feelings and takes her away and it's up to Stuart and his unlikely friend, the house cat Snowbell (voiced by Nathan Lane) to save the day and Margalo.

I know it is a pretty dull review as I haven't seen this movie in a while but it was the step forward for CGI animation to finally make its way into the big leagues of theatrical release. There wasn't anything bad about the film but the kind of cheesy relationship between Mr and Mrs Little is a minus. I give it a 8 out of 10 as it was one of my childhood's favorite movies.
