Let's start the answer this way. SL2 has more action,
better animations - stunning in fact - and joining the cast
and crew is the incomparably mean James Woods as the villainous
Falcon.
But is it as good? No.
Despite the benefits of the above, the follow-up to Stuart
Little lacks something and I'm still not quite sure what
it is.
The mouse himself is fine, so is George (Jonathon Lipnicki),
Hugh Laurie is great, Snowbell (Nathan Lane) is an absolute
scream and Falcon (Woods) superb - but Geena Davis is overly
gushy as Mrs Little and the new animated heroine Margalo (Melanie
Griffith) borders on being annoying.
The story is that Stuart rescues a wounded bird, Margalo,
and brings her into the Little home to look after her. But
she is dominated by a mean - and scary - Falcon who wants
her to steal jewellery from the Littles.
Will she do the right thing? Will Stuart be heartbroken if
she doesn't? Will Snowbell learn to do tinkles in an alley?
Will Stuart survive a clash with Falcon?
Now while I may seem to be a little (so to speak) down on
SL2, it does have a lot of very funny moments and the
kids will really enjoy it. Adults, however, won't be quite
so attracted to it.
The video and sound transfers are brilliant and there is
a good package of very-interesting extras.
