Plot : Stuart
the mouse is as plucky as ever, and he looks more lifelike, thanks to strides
in computer technology since the original premiered in 1999. The ever-likable
Michael J. Fox gives Stuart his adorable voice and personality. Surprisingly,
Melanie Griffith's babylike voice, often grating in human roles, is just
the ticket for Margalo, a free-spirited bird who's forced to do the evil
bidding of the menacing Falcon (James Woods). Reprising their live-action,
though cartoonish, parts are Geena Davis and Hugh Laurie as the Littles,
Stuart's "parents," and Jonathan Lipnicki, his "brother" George. In the
children's novel by E.B. White, Stuart loves Margalo, who must fly the
coop. In the movie there is the promise that Margalo, after escaping the
clutches of the villainous Falcon and flying south for the winter, will
return. The story is set two years after the last installment and the Littles
have a new baby, Martha. George still plays with Stuart, but he's starting
to move away from rodents to human pals. Feeling lonely and longing for
adventure, Stuart zips around in his little red sports car. When a bird
falls from the sky and into his car, Stuart takes her under his wing. And
when she disappears, Stuart strikes out to find her, accompanied by the
family's finicky feline, Snowbell (voiced by Nathan Lane). The plot is
predictable and the dialogue often sticky sweet, but at least kids will
identify with Stuart's desire for adventure and exploration under his mother's
watchful eye. Mr. Little teaches Stuart that every cloud has a silver lining,
which, though trite, is a nice enough message for young viewers. The silver
lining here is that the sequel improves upon the original. |
