Stuart Little 2 – Movie Background

Get ready--this summer, a Little goes a long way! Plucky, pint-sized hero Stuart Little returns to the big screen in Stuart Little 2, delighting audiences with even more action-packed adventure. This time, Stuart must go on a journey through New York City with a reluctant Snowbell to rescue a new friend, Margalo , from a villainous Falcon). Back for Stuart Little 2 are Stuart’s entire family from the original holiday hit: Geena Davis (Mrs. Little), Hugh Laurie (Mr. Little) and Jonathan Lipnicki (George Little).

Two years have passed since last we visited the Little family and much has changed. Stuart has blossomed and settled nicely into his new life. He goes to school (in his very own car), is very handy when it comes to building model airplanes and is proud of the fact he made the soccer team. And he loves having a big brother, George and a new baby sister, Martha Little (Anna Hoelck, and Ashley Hoelck) to play with. Even Snowbell, the curmudgeonly cat with an attitude, has warmed up to Stuart in his own way. All is well in the Little world, where every cloud has a silver lining.

Even still, Stuart yearns for a friend of his own--someone like him. Driving home from school, Stuart hears a loud squawk and suddenly an injured bird falls out of the sky, landing in the passenger seat of his car. When she regains consciousness, the mysterious bird introduces herself as Margalo. In a frightened voice she tells Stuart she is being threatened by Falcon, a feared crime lord who terrorizes all creatures living in Manhattan.

When Stuart learns that Margalo doesn't have a place to live he insists she stay with the Littles. Mr. and Mrs. Little immediately accept Margalo and, much to Snowbell's chagrin, welcome her to stay as long as she wants.

It's obvious for all to see that Stuart has a crush on the charming and beguiling bird who promises him adventure... but Margalo is hiding a dark secret and is not what she appears to be. When she mysteriously vanishes, the unlikely duo of Stuart and Snowbell set out on a heart-pounding, hair-raising journey to find her and unlock the mystery.

The furry duo has no idea where they are headed--all Stuart knows is he has to find Falcon's lair and get Margalo back. It’s a tall order for a small mouse with a big heart and his pampered Persian sidekick, but as Stuart says, “When you’re a friend of Stuart Little, you’re a friend for life.”
