Taglines: A Little Goes A Long Way.
Two years after the first film, Stuart Little (Michael J. Fox) questions his ability after a grueling soccer match alongside George (Jonathan Lipnicki), who kicked him with a soccer ball. Stuart becomes even more downhearted after George’s toy airplane gets broken in an accident because of him. However, Stuart’s dad (Hugh Laurie) tells him that for every Little, there is a “silver lining”- a good thing that comes out of an apparently bad situation.
On his way home from school, Stuart saves a female canary named Margalo (Melanie Griffith) who is being pursued by a peregrine falcon (James Woods), and they become friends. But Margalo is secretly working with the Falcon to case and steal from households. When he presses her to find and take an object of value, or lose the sanctuary he promised her, Margalo can’t seem to concentrate on her assignment, as she is beginning to have tender feelings for Stuart. Falcon eventually loses patience and threatens to kill Stuart if she doesn’t deliver. Sadly, Margalo takes Mrs. Little’s (Geena Davis) diamond ring.
When the family sees the ring is missing, they think it has fallen down the sink. Stuart offers to be lowered down the drain on a string to get it, and nearly succeeds. When the string breaks Margalo saves him, and his thanks to her only make her feel even more guilty, so she decides to leave. When Stuart can’t find her, he assumes she has been kidnapped – and that Falcon is somehow involved. He leaves on a quest to rescue her with the household’s reluctant cat Snowbell (Nathan Lane), but not before setting up a plan with George.
