: Stuart Little 2

Somehow I missed the first one. I thought I had it on DVD but couldn’t find it. So I watched this one a bit in the dark about who Stuart Little was (other than the obvious fact that he’s a mouse). Apparently he can talk and he’s treated like a miniature human, with ridiculous things like him going in as a sub in a kid’s soccer game. (The ball is 10 times bigger than him — what’s he supposed to do? Squash himself? How does that help his team?) So that aspect I found odd and confusing, but the plot itself, while heavy-handed, was decent and the overall film pleasant and entertaining. Great for kids, certainly. Stuart befriends a hurt bird who it turns out is working with the evil Falcon to steal Mrs. Little’s wedding ring, but of course plucky little Stuart faces his fears and saves the day in the end. Hooray.
