Description:
Stuart Little's back in an all-new, all-animated movie! School's out for the summer and the Little Family is spending their vacation at a beautiful lakeside cabin. Leading the way is Stuart, who can't wait to become a Scout and spend his entire vacation canoeing, hiking and being the outdoorsy little guy he claims to be. But, there is something lurking in the forest who could spoil all the fun: THE BEAST; a mean and isolated forest terror who rules the local animals with an iron paw. When Snowbell is taken prisoner, a Little bravery goes a long way as Stuart, along with his new friend, Reeko, a skunk, heroically rescues him, frees the other woodland creatures and outwits the wily Beast. It's a big job for a Little mouse, but someone's got to do it! Featuring the voice talents of Michael J. Fox, Geena Davis, Hugh Laurie and Wayne Brady as Stuart's newest pal Reeko, it's the next big thing in Little adventure.

Goodbye realistic family with an implausible child, hello animated world of make believe. Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild takes a marked departure from the realistic footage of the Little family and a skillfully animated mouse son in Stuart Little and Stuart Little 2 with this fully animated presentation that views like just another animated cartoon television show. That said, the story and action are good. While Stuart may be tiny and have a reputation as delicate, he's determined to prove his strength and independence during his family's summer stay in a cabin on the shores of Lake Garland. Stuart (voiced by Michael J. Fox) pleads to be allowed to join the Lake Scouts where he seems destined to be unsuccessful in spite of much perseverance. He develops an unlikely friendship with a skunk named Reeko (voiced by Wayne Brady), but that friendship leads Stuart and his cat Snowbell (voiced this time by Kevin Schon) to the brink of disaster with 'The Beast' that lives in the woods. Can courage, ingenuity and the bonds of true friendship overcome the wrath and brute strength of a ferocious monster? This third movie in the Stuart Little collection remains true to its predecessors in its wholesome message and fast-paced adventure, but the full animation is definitely disappointing. (Ages 4 to 10 years) --Tami Horiuchi

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great movie
My son loves this movie and all his other Stuart Little movies. Was shipped on time and it great condiction. FYI it is an animated movie, not like the first two.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - DVD automatically displays English subtitles. (Frustrating!)
My DVD automatically displays English subtitles as the default setting. This happens every time we play it. I got it for my niece who's 4, and she always has to ask someone to reset it to display no subtitles. ( She otherwise can just hit the play button to start a DVD.) I was NOT happy with that. This info should have been stated on this website. I would never have bought it if I knew this. Poorly made cartoon, although my niece still watches it because she likes Stuart.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - OK Story, Very Disappointing Animation
The only good news about the second sequel to `Stuart Little' is that you can hear the voices of three principal actors of the original -- Michael J. Fox, Geena Davies, and Hugh Laurie. Except that, I can find nothing that would justify the decision of making another entry into the series. There is no state-of-the-art images merging seamlessly the live-action and CGI-created creatures. So what's the point of making this one?

The film is all shot in animation, and the animation is just cheesy. I know I should not expect Pixar in direct-to-video films, but it is not a totally happy thing to see the characters with clunky designs, whose monotonous movement looks so awkward that you might remember the unnaturally moving heads or arms of the characters on video games made five or six years ago, or the filmed version of `Final Fantasy.' Frankly this animation needs better software.

At least, the filmmakers are wise not to change the basic points of the `SL' world. Again we are to meet the Little Family, this time going on vacation for summer. Stuart joins in the `Lake Scout' with his brother George, which results in another misadventure on the lake as you know he would.

The story gets more interesting when a new character Reeko wisecracking skunk appears in the forest where, it is rumored, mighty and fearful `Beast' rules mercilessly. Somehow this skunk likes Stewart Little, and Stewart the skunk, and their friendship is tested when Snowbell gets into a big trouble. ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - TOO MUCH SKUNK
While I'm sure the kids will enjoy this third entry in the STUART LITTLE franchise, from an adult's point of view, it's not as good as the first two. Blame it on the computer generated uninspired animation; blame it on the really bad songs (how many parents will have to explain what a derriere is?); or maybe it's got too much skunk in it. While the voice talents of Michael J. Fox, Geena Davis and Hugh Laurie return, Wayne Brady is a little too annoying and "gangsta" to be much fun. Why do they always have to put in an actor who has to speak hip and jive when it really has nothing to do with the character? Oh, well...I'm sure our youth of today will identify with his funk/rap song, but I'm just a little tired of it. Anyway, we do get Virginia Madsen as the voice of the Beast and Stuart manages to be a hero...so if I'm being too picky, sorry! But it's okay for the family.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - expensive voices, cheap animation
This entire movie is animated, unlike the first two Stuart Little movies. I was willing to accept that since it is a third movie that went straight to video. All the big name voices are in it ....all the people from the last movies. The animation is that low budget computer generated stuff you see in the Barbie movies. The story is okay but no comparison to the first two. I will say this about it though....my 4yr old loves it. I did get it for her so all in all it is a fine movie...just not the quality you would expect having seen the first two.
