Michael O'Keefe School is out for the summer and the Little family are ready to vacation in the forest of Lake Garland. Frederick(voiced by Hugh Laurie)and Elanor(voiced by Genna Davis)round up Stuart(voiced by Michael J. Fox)and Snowball the cat and hit the holiday road. Stuart and his dad join a group of scouts. Stuart just doesn't fit in of course; but soon has his mind occupied with finding Snowball, who is believed to be snatched by a forest creature known as the Beast(voiced by Virginia Madsen). Joining Stuart in the search is a skunk named Reeko(voiced by Wayne Brady). The first two Stuart Little films combined live action with animation. CALL OF THE WILD is obviously working with a small budget and is completely CGI, and not the best by no means. Quality is lacking, but four and five year old viewers will not be concerned. Other voices: Peter MacNicol, Nathan Lane, Robby D. Bruce, Sophia Paden and Kevin Schon.

nickmedford After the first two films, with their lavish sets, excellent acting, and state-of-the-art CGI, this comes as a massive disappointment. It's an ultra-low budget animation, so poorly drawn that it looks like a rough draft rather than a finished animation. The cast who played the Little family in the previous films return to voice their characters here, but the dubbing is so haphazard that you'll swear that different actors were used. The plot is paper-thin, the jokes are mostly lame, and even the very young are likely to get bored well before the end. A great shame, as the first Stuart Little in particular was a great hit with my daughter, and one of the best children's films of recent years. Stuart Little 3 is, however, best avoided.

Rick Hobson Consider the wolves, reduced to mere caricatures of evil, in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Consider the leopard from Disney's animated Tarzan, who was simply trying to survive. Consider the hyenas of The Lion King; science tells us that hyenas are successful hunters and caring parents within their pack, and yet here they've been reduced to stereotype; mangy, miserable poachers.Now comes "The Beast" of Stuart Little 3. Her habitat is shrinking, her food has fled the encroachment of human civilization, her forests either destroyed or filled with the sounds and smells of ATVs and chainsaws. She herself has probably been hunted, running for her life from baying dogs and humans who only want to destroy her because she would look good on a wall.But even through all this, she is less of a carnivore than her real-world cousins would be. She offers her potential prey a way out. Bring her food, and you may live. She may indeed feel some disdain for the "lesser" animals she deals with, but she might be forgiven, considering the life she's lead.Indeed, she could be the tragic hero of this opus. She defends the last vest ages of The Really Wild, while her forest is altered and destroyed to make way for scout camps, roads, condos, subdivisions and strip malls, vanquished tellingly by a mouse who thinks he's human and a cat who has forgotten his catness.Yes, this video is for children, but children learn from what they experience. What are we teaching them? Quietly, I root for The Beast.

The_Wagon Stuart Little 3 has flaws. The animation. I don't like the animation. Ultimate Avengers is better. Way better. But Stuart Little 3 has good things about it, too. It starts with the Little family going on a camping trip. They drive there, Stuart has some adventures, and fights "The Beast". No, not the X-Men character, but...well....I'm not gonna spoil it for you! But I'll give you hint of what "The Beast" is. It's not a flounder! So that eliminates all the flounders of the world. What animal could it be? Watch this movie and find out! Now, I honestly thought this would suck, but it didn't. It was a nice little movie that's fun for the whole family. The first two were better, but this one was still a good movie. So just pop it in the DVD player and watch. They might make a Stuart Little 4. Who knows? 6/10.
