[Edit this paragraph] Plot introduction
Part One
He is a smart, enthusiastic guy - he is a mouse, a The scheming mouse (in the original work, he is not a real mouse. The original work was published in the 1940s. In the original work, Ritter's mother made a wish for a child. Later, the child was born, only the size of a mouse, and even He is in the shape of a mouse, but after all, he is a human being--not brought from an orphanage like in the movie), and his name is Stuart. Stuart wanted to find his home and the meaning of belonging in this huge world for him. When he was adopted by the Ritter family, he started an adventure with various characters - —Including his old enemy, the domestic cat Snowbell.
During this experience, he finally understood the true meaning of family, loyalty and friendship, and during this period the Ritter family also discovered that there was such a little "Stuart" in their lives. ”, the courage, spirit and courage he showed in pursuing the truth have also become an example for us to pursue our dreams.
Part 2
Two years after the story of the previous episode "Little Elf Mouse" took place, the Little family welcomed another baby of theirs - daughter Martha. Little's mother (Geena Davis) unconsciously poured all her love and attention into this new member, somewhat ignoring George (Hugh Laurie) and Stuart/Stuart (Michael J. Fox) . At this time, Stewart was in adolescence, and his mother's emotional changes made him in urgent need of new emotional sustenance.
One day, while driving home from school, a pigeon chased by a falcon (James Woods) accidentally fell into Stewart's car. With Stuart's help, the pigeon temporarily escapes the pursuit of the falcon, and a thrilling adventure brings the two lonely hearts closer together.
With gratitude, the beautiful little dove introduced herself as Magaro/Magaroo (Melanie Griffith). At this moment, Stewart's heart has been deeply attracted to her, our mouse. The younger brother is in love...
Part 3
It is an indisputable fact that Stuart and Xue Ling get along well with each other. In this episode, in order to help Xue Ling get out of trouble, Look how brave our mouse brother is.
The story basically has no connection with the original work, it is just a borrowed interpretation. However, people who have read it will probably sigh: Brother Mouse has grown up and knows how to care for others better than he did in the original work.
It’s just that Xue Ling looks a bit slutty. It’s not that I’m belittling him, but his performance in this episode is disappointing (designed dialogue – Xue Ling: “We were forced! We were forced! I It's the director's dog...wrong, it's a cat. He teaches us how to think and act, so we have to think and act..." Director: "I made you a flesh-and-blood person with free will. , you are responsible for your own role, you performed poorly in the film, you should pay the price for it..." Haha, children and older children must be able to bear it). Especially when he meets small animals and big monsters, his attitude is so different that it is simply humorous;... Of course, we sometimes have his problems, so I'd better not laugh at them.
In this episode, Brother Mouse also made many friends, and Weasel Vigo was one of them. Viggo has low self-esteem, and Ratboy is his first real friend. If you have never made friends, you will inevitably have conscious biases. But after all, he took responsibility for the mistakes he made, and since that incident, he has more friends.
Xiaozhi also made a friend, a girl from the lake protection team, and they made an appointment to keep in touch.
Voice-over
What is worth pondering about this film is: the music has grown up with the children who watched VOL.1 back then. It is in a rap style and needs to be adapted. Maybe it will It's very listenable, but the lyrics are very immediate, and it seems that there is nothing else to use without the video. Perhaps due to funding issues, perhaps because there are too many characters, or perhaps because we want to maximize profits, the production of VOL.3 has become a two-dimensional animation, which is a bit disappointing to me, but this may be beneficial to cultivating the interest of young audiences.
[Edit this paragraph] Comparative reading
In the film, Stuart finally reconciled with Xue Ling, but reality is not always that beautiful. In the original work, the person who murdered Magro was not the Falcon (the Falcon does not exist in the original work), but Xue Ling. Xue Ling and his good friend Cat made an appointment to have dinner at Ritter's house on a windy and dark night, and the name of the dish was Magro. A kind-hearted pigeon got the news and told Magro about it with a small note. Margero is scared, just like in the movie, she looks at Stuart lovingly and leaves the Ritters. When Stuart wakes up in the morning and finds Magalo missing, he falls into deep pain. In order to find her, Stuart left home sadly. When leaving, he took out a few hairs from his mother's comb and put them in the package as a souvenir.
In the original work, in order to find Magro, Stuart found a dentist. The dentist turned into Xiao Zhi in the movie. In the original work, Stuart helped the dentist. The doctor instead helped Xiao Zhi to participate in the model airplane competition - the scene in the original work was so lively that people watching the model airplane competition even squeezed a fat policeman into the river, and the ripples caused a lot of trouble to Stuart - Dentistry The doctor gave Stuart a model car that only needed a drop of gasoline to fill its cylinder. However, Stuart accidentally pressed the car's stealth button, and the speeding car was hit. Later, Stuart, who got a car, began his journey south. On the way, he met a little girl from New York City. The little girl was the same size as Stuart. They met to go boating, using a small wooden boat bought from a boutique store and two small wooden paddles for eating ice cream. In the end, due to the appearance of humans, the boats and oars were played with, damaged, and discarded like toys. Stuart could only bid a disappointed farewell to the little girl.
However, in little Stuart's heart, hope is always ahead.
[Edit this paragraph] Appendix 1: Some differences between the original work and the movie
1. The place where you catch a cold is not in the washing machine, but in the refrigerator;
2. The reason why he was transported to the garbage ship was not because he was repelled by a falcon, but because he was out for fun and hid in the trash can in fear after encountering a dog... It was Magro who took him back to New York. , the tool is Magro's wings rather than a repaired model airplane.
[Edit this paragraph] Appendix 2: Different emphases between the original work and the movie
1. Since the original work was published during World War II, it seems to be more pessimistic, such as with a little girl encounter, Magro's disappearance, etc. The difference between Stuart and Magro in the movie is very beautiful;
2. During the war, politics takes the lead. In the original work, Stuart made remarks about "world government" (The world is in a mess because there is no world government. The implication is that it is the United States...?)
3. Original work The description is more like a fairy tale world, where you can have your own experience of the figure of a little girl (there is more than one short Stuart in the world!), Stuart being a blood relative of mankind;
4. The pattern of the big world and the small world: The pattern of the small world in the original work is: Xue Ling and Stuart confront each other to the end. Xue Ling and Stuart were both the favorites of the Ritter family. The people they loved most were fighting each other. The pain was imaginable, which subconsciously reflected the chaos in the world at that time. The structure of the small world in the movie is: Xue Ling and Stuart eventually become good friends, and the ultimate enemy is Saker Falcon. This subconsciously reflects that the enemy is moving away from us (the falcon is not a common animal in the city), and many contradictions are temporarily covered up (the cat and the mouse became friends, which is not so much American humor, but better understood as this) - —You can have your own associations with the end of war and the disintegration of the bipolar world;
5. Some characteristics of American culture may be reflected in the original novel and movie. Americans rarely pay attention to the problem of social circles. They seem to treat people with the same enthusiasm both inside and outside. It seems that this is related to their religious culture, but these are discussed separately. You can't tell whether Rat Boy is better against Snow Ling or Macaro. Many of the friends Mouse made are complete strangers, but their whereabouts seem to be "never lost". It is difficult to confirm whether Macaro and Viggo will appear in the next film, even if Mouse is very fond of them. How good.

Stewart, a little mouse from an orphanage, comes to the Little family, which is like heaven to him, and becomes a member of this big family. But Stewart's identity as owner is always threatened. The pet white cat is full of hostility towards this new mouse owner and feels that his cat's dignity has been seriously challenged; and George, the little master of the Little family, does not have much affection for this little brother either. What is the fate of the little mouse? The big stars and the animated mice work seamlessly together, creating a warm atmosphere of middle-class family life.

[Edit this paragraph] About the author
E. B. White (1899-1985) was born in Mount Vernon, New York, and graduated from Cornell University. For many years he was a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine. White was an accomplished essayist, humorist, poet, and satirist. For generations of American children, he was famous for writing the first-rate children's books, Little Stuart (1945) and Charlotte's Web (1952). Generations of students and authors are familiar with him as co-author (and reviser) of The Elements of Style. This book is a valuable little book on composition and usage, originally written by William J. Jr., who taught White English at Cornell University. Written by Professor Strunk. The essay "Freedom" was first published by Harper's Magazine in July 1940. The United States had not yet joined the war against the Nazis, the world was in the midst of the Nazi-Soviet Pact, and both the left and the right ignored the threat of totalitarianism to democracy. This essay is included in White's collection One Man's Meat (1942).
