As for the movies, well, both are fun. The original is undoubtedly superior, as it's entirely enveloping for young and old alike, with a mix of heartwarming drama and some witty humor. Michael J. Fox is perfectly cast as Stuart, the little mouse with a big heart and a big family. His adventures in New York City are handled with fairy-tale treatment, that also, seems appropriate.
The sequel feels a little too formulaic, while not remaining entirely true to the first film at the same time. Overall, it doesn't work as well as the original, but it's very entertaining all the same, and James Woods voices the villain like only he can (his recent resume illustrates that this role is a forte).
"Stuart Little 2" contains both Widescreen and Fullscreen on its only release, but you'll want to pass this 2-pack and get the "Collector's Series" (Widescreen) for the original "Stuart Little." (Rating applies to the DVD 2-Pack.) 5/5 Both Stuart Little 1 & 2 on one "little" PSP UMD Disc! WOW! by Jason Pumphrey (Falls Church, Virginia United States) This is a great PSP UMD Video!!! Includes BOTH Stuart Little and Stuart Little 2 on one tiny PSP UMD!!! Two great family films!!! Will keep the kiddies(and adults too!)entertained for hours!!! Recommended!!! A+ 5/5 Leaves the little ones laughing! by M. Berry (Baltimore, MD) My 3 year old just loves both of these movies. We were watching them both one night on the abc family channel and I just knew after a few moments of her giggling I had to get them for her. She's always asking to watch the "Mouse Movie". 5/5 Excellent Service by Jeanne Arnold This was received in a very timely fashion & was in excellent condition. Wouldn't hesitate to use this provider again in the future. Always a pleasure when a product is delivered in the shape that it is shown as.
Stuart Little 2 Stuart Little 2 is that rarest of movie breeds, a sequel that surpasses its charming, popular predecessor to achieve near-classic status. Mr. & Mrs. Little (Hugh Laurie, Geena Davis) are portrayed with good-natured, storybook purity, and the rest of the movie follows suit, beginning when their lonely mouse "son" Stuart (perfectly voiced by Michael J. Fox) befriends an orphaned canary (Melanie Griffith), who is reluctantly stealing from the Littles for the villainous Falcon (James Woods). The con game turns into a search-and-rescue thriller, with family cat Snowbell (Nathan Lane) quipping like a borscht-belt comedian, but the real fun of Stuart Little 2 comes from Bruce Joel Rubin's hilarious, marvelously inventive screenplay and returning director Rob Minkoff's visually dazzling combination of live action and lavish computer animation. Matching the Babe movies as a wondrous marvel of family entertainment, Stuart Little 2 is an all-ages romp that's smart, sweet, and completely irresistible. --Jeff Shannon
