Stuart Little 2 (Alternate Cast)

My alternate cast for Stuart Little 2.

Directed By: Rob Minkoff

Plot
Three years after being adopted, Stuart Little questions his abilities following a disastrous soccer match alongside his adoptive brother George, who accidentally kicked him with a soccer ball despite said kick scoring the winning goal for their team. Stuart's relationship with George is strained further after he accidentally crashes a model airplane they were working on in the house. Stuart's adoptive father, Frederick, tries to encourage him, telling him that "every cloud has a silver lining."

Later, an apparently injured canary named Margalo falls into Stuart's roadster on his way home from school. Stuart takes her home and introduces her to the Little family, where he invites Margalo to stay with them for a while, to which she accepts. However, Margalo is secretly assisting her adoptive father Falcon, a greedy falcon to steal valuables from households upon earning the homeowners' trust. Orphaned as a fledging, Margalo assists Falcon in exchange for a home, but she grows reluctant to steal from the Littles. Unable to concentrate on her assignment for Falcon, Margalo becomes close friends with Stuart. Falcon eventually loses patience and threatens to kill Stuart unless Margalo steals Eleanor's wedding ring. Concerned for Stuart's safety, she reluctantly complies.

When the Littles discover that the ring is missing, they think it has fallen down their kitchen sink. Stuart offers to be lowered down the drain on a string to get it, but the string breaks while he is down the drain. A guilt-stricken Margalo saves him, then leaves the Littles' house the following night to protect Stuart. Upon realizing Margalo's disappearance, Stuart assumes she has been kidnapped by Falcon and decides to rescue her with the help of the Littles' cat Snowbell. Before he leaves, Stuart asks George to lie about his whereabouts to his parents while he is gone.

With the help of Snowbell's alley cat friend Monty, Stuart and Snowbell discover that Falcon resides in the disused observation deck of the Pishkin Building. Despite revealing to Stuart that Margalo works for him, faked being injured, and stole his mother's ring, Stuart does not believe it until Falcon reveals to him his mother's ring. Having overheard the debate, Margalo appears and assures Stuart that although she was following Falcon's orders, she is still his friend. Stuart begs her to come home with him, but Falcon flippantly refuses to let Margalo quit his business for Stuart's sake. In retaliation, Stuart attacks Falcon by shooting an arrow at his face, but this turns out to be futile and he only succeeds in provoking Falcon to the point of trying to kill Stuart by dropping him over the side of the building intending to let him fall to his death. When he does so, Stuart plummets toward the street, but fortunately lands in the back a passing garbage truck. Falcon traps Margalo in a paint can as punishment for betraying his trust, but Snowbell manages to reach the top of the building while Falcon is absent and releases her.

Regaining consciousness on board a garbage barge departing from the harbor, Stuart sadly considers giving up until he finds his and George's broken yet still-functioning model airplane on the barge; he cobbles it together with various pieces of junk and uses it to rescue Margalo and Snowbell. Meanwhile, George tells the Littles that Stuart is sleeping at his friend Will's house to rehearse a play but they discover he has lied to them when they find out Stuart is not there. They demand George reveal where Stuart is and tell the truth, telling him he was wrong to make such a promise and that he should never lie to his parents. Eleanor asks George how George would feel and how they would all feel if something happened to Stuart, but George tries not to break Stuart's promise. When Frederick reveals that he understands and that he has a brother but if he was in danger that would matter more to him than the promise, George reluctantly tells them that Stuart is at the Pishkin Building, but Frederick makes it clear he will still have to face the consequences for lying before they head out to find Stuart. The Littles eventually come across Stuart's Roadster, only to find it wrecked and vandalized. Meanwhile, Falcon attacks Snowbell for getting involved, but Margalo declares her independence from him and threatens to toss the ring off of the roof if Falcon persists in killing Snowbell. Angered by her persistence, Falcon demands that she return the ring to him immediately, but Margalo firms her resolve and attempts to flee. Just as Falcon catches up, Stuart catches Margalo in his plane, enraging Falcon to the point of trying to focus on killing Stuart first.

At the same time, the Littles follow them by taxi as Stuart and Margalo fly through Central Park, with Falcon chasing them. Falcon then claws the upper wings of Stuart's plane with his talons and rips them off, dropping him and Margalo with the plane temporarily inoperative as they plummet speedily towards the ground and the flight lever is stuck. With Stuart ready to accept his fate, his family and Margalo encourage him to continue, and he manages to pull the lever and regain flight, just before they hit the ground. Realizing they can't outrun Falcon, Stuart decides to attack him directly. Using the light of the sun reflected in Eleanor's ring to temporarily blind Falcon, Stuart jumps out of the plane just before it crashes into Falcon and explodes into pieces. Margalo catches Stuart as he falls when the loose propeller slices right through his handkerchief parachute, and they reunite with the Littles to return home. Falcon, now crippled and unable to fly, falls out of the sky and lands in a trash can where Monty is searching for food, implying that Monty is now going to eat him since cats eat birds.

Sometime later, Margalo says goodbye to the Littles and leaves to migrate south for the winter. After this, Martha, George and Stuart's new infant sister, says her first words, "Bye-bye Birdie", much to the delight of the family (except for Snowbell who snarkily says he would be more impressed her by jumping out of a tree and landing on her feet), who celebrate before heading into the comfort of their home.
