Review of Stuart Little 2 (2002) by Edwin R — 08 Aug 2012

I just watched Stuart Little 2 on television and even though I've seen it before, I have to say, it was great. This film, in my opinion, took a steady improvement from the prequel. There's more action, excitement and wonder to it which is fantastic!

The characters were all brilliant. Stuart and the bird are so adorable! Snowball the cat, well, from wanting to eat Stuart in the 1st movie, to being best friends in this sequel, I have to say it's all good. Also, I think the chemistry between them is really sweet because they embark on the adventure together, with no one else but them and there's a lot of friendship going on. Also it's great to see that Snowball always has Stuart's back like when the other cat in the restaurant wanted to eat him, he just stuck up for him.

Stuart's personality has widened. He's not only the sweet and adorable mouse but in this movie, it shows his heroic instincts. This mainly approaches at the end of the movie, where re-fixes his old aeroplane and flies around New York to stop the Falcon and save Margalo. Which purifies his bravery and cleverness.

In terms of animation-wise, it was good. Stuart and the bird looked believably realistic. However, my only negative point is The Falcon, who could have looked more "in-this-world", it looked so computer-animated that it somewhat gave away it's evil instincts.

Like I said, this sequel took a good improvement from the prequel. In this movie, there's a lot more plot and excitement to it, which scores on the fun factor. Stuart embarks on a mission to save his bird friend, Margalo meeting adventure along the way, I mean that's the sort of genre that keeps me on the edge of my seat.

Overall, I would love to watch this movie again. It is simply a wonderful family film. To be honest, I think this film classifies as my Top Ten favourite Family films! Why? Because it's fun, charming and enjoyable. Definitely recommend.

8/10.
