Stuart Little 2

Stuart Little 2 is a 2002 American live-action/animated comedy film loosely based on E.B. White's novel Stuart Little. It was directed by Rob Minkoff and produced by Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher, from a screenplay by Bruce Joel Rubin, and a story by Rubin and Wick. The film stars Geena Davis, Hugh Laurie, and Jonathan Lipnicki, alongside the voices of Michael J. Fox, Melanie Griffith, Nathan Lane, James Woods, and Steve Zahn. It is the sequel to the 1999 film Stuart Little and the second installment in the Stuart Little trilogy. In the film, Stuart (Fox) and Snowbell (Lane) meet a canary named Margalo (Griffith) before she is captured by Falcon (Woods), and Stuart and Snowbell must team up to find her and defeat Falcon. Stuart Little 2 premiered in Westwood on July 14, 2002, and was released in theaters in the United States on July 19, by Sony Pictures Releasing through its Columbia Pictures label. The film received positive reviews from critics but grossed just $170 million against a $120 million budget, considerably less than its predecessor. It was followed by a third film, a direct-to-video sequel titled Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild in 2006.
