Summary: The Adoption theme is problematic
Review: Adoptive parents should be aware of the problematic aspects of this movie for kids who were adopted. When Stuart's biological parents arrive on the scene and announce that they want Stuart back, his adoptive parents hand him over, no questions asked. There is no sense that adoption is permanent. If your adopted child sees this movie, be prepared to discuss it afterwards and assure your child this would never happen in real life.

Summary: Two fun movies, but best to buy the DVDs individually
Review: As has been noted by other reviews, this Stuart Little 2-Pack only contains a Fullscreen format for the original film. A few years ago, it was issued in a wonderful "Collector's Series" widescreen disc with just about everything that is included on the "Deluxe Edition" (save a promo or two for the sequel). It's out-of-print now, but you should still be able to track it down, and it is worth it. Remember, you want "Collector's Series", NOT "Deluxe Edition."As for the movies, well, both are fun. The original is undoubtedly superior, as it's entirely enveloping for young and old alike, with a mix of heartwarming drama and some witty humor. Michael J. Fox is perfectly cast as Stuart, the little mouse with a big heart and a big family. His adventures in New York City are handled with fairy-tale treatment, that also, seems appropriate. The sequel feels a little too formulaic, while not remaining entirely true to the first film at the same time. Overall, it doesn't work as well as the original, but it's very entertaining all the same, and James Woods voices the villain like only he can (his recent resume illustrates that this role is a forte). "Stuart Little 2" contains both Widescreen and Fullscreen on its only release, but you'll want to pass this 2-pack and get the "Collector's Series" (Widescreen) for the original "Stuart Little." (Rating applies to the DVD 2-Pack.)

Summary: BEWARE if you have a widescreen TV!
Review: What's the deal, slipping the fullscreen version of Stuart Little in with the widescreen version of Stuart Little 2 and mislabeling the package?! A 4:3 aspect ratio film should NOT be called a "Deluxe Version" when there is a 16:9 version available. I feel very deceived/taken by this, and am docking these otherwise cute movies 2 full stars for Studio Stupidity.

Summary: CAN'T BELIEVE ONE DISC IN FULLSCREEN OTHER IN BOTH SCREENS
Review: Why should a studio pick a two pack, one disc in fullscreen and the other disc in fullscreen and widescreen. Don't you think it is stupid? Yes it is stupid. Although I wish there was a 5 pack. Disc One: Stuart Little Fullscreen
Disc Two: Stuart Little Spanish Package Fullscreen
Disc Three: Stuart Little Widescreen
Disc Four: Stuart Little Deluxe Edition
Disc Five: Stuart Little 2 Ding dong ever heard of these collections before. That will be more cooler. The Deluxe should be like the Shrek 2-Disc DVD or The Grinch 2-Disc DVD. Why can't Stuart Little Deluxe Edition be in widescreen or choice of viewing? Columbia Pictures make a Stuart Little Special 2 Disc DVD. Disc 1: Deluxe Edition
Disc 2: Widescreen Edition, or make a Stuart Little Widescreen Special Edition of a Stuart Little Fullscreen Deluxe Special Edition.
