Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild

Stuart's family leaves Manhattan to go camping near Lake Garland, hoping for a break from the city. They look forward to time in the woods and new family memories. The journey marks the first step of their forest adventure.

Stuart encounters Reeko, a skunk disliked by the forest animals who is secretly plotting to feed The Beast, a menacing cougar. The alliance between human and creature reveals a dangerous plan that could threaten the forest. This encounter foreshadows the coming conflicts.

While hiking with their dad, Stuart and George stumble onto the Lake Scouts and are invited to join, with Frederick overseeing. George quickly shows skill and confidence, while Stuart struggles due to his small stature. Troopmaster Bickle's skepticism weighs on him.

Facing rejection from Troopmaster Bickle, Stuart negotiates with Reeko to learn the forest ways. Reeko agrees to train him in exchange for something he wants in return. The bargain pushes Stuart to push through self-doubt and prove himself.

After some training, Reeko is invited to dinner with Stuart's family, and a fragile friendship begins to form. Stuart begins to see that Reeko may not be entirely malevolent. The dinner scene marks a turning point in trust between them.

Reeko decides the food he gets isn’t enough and lures Snowbell into the forest, where The Beast captures the cat. Stuart learns that Reeko has betrayed him and the others. The threat of The Beast becomes personal as Snowbell disappears.

Stuart ventures into the wilderness to rescue Snowbell, pushing past fear and fatigue. He follows tracks and signs in the dark, determined to bring Snowbell back. The rescue mission becomes a test of his courage.

Eleanor learns of Stuart's disappearance and organizes a search party, enlisting Frederick and the Lake Scouts. The community rallies to help locate Stuart and Snowbell. The search sets the stage for a coordinated rescue.

Stuart successfully frees Snowbell and attempts to trap The Beast with a clever set of sticks and leaves. Reeko arrives with forest animals who had once disliked him and join the effort. Together they divert The Beast and buy time for the rescue party.

The combined efforts of the forest animals, the humans, and the search party lead to The Beast's defeat and capture. The Beast is taken to a zoo, ending the threat to the forest. Snowbell is saved, and the area breathes a collective sigh of relief.

Stuart is awarded a gold kerchief by Troopmaster Bickle for his bravery and perseverance. The honor marks his acceptance into the Lake Scouts and recognizes his growth. He reflects on the journey from being dismissed to proving his worth.

As the family packs up to leave, Reeko apologizes for his betrayals and explains his change of heart. Stuart says farewell to his forest friend, and the Littles head back home to Manhattan. The film closes on a hopeful note about friendship and new resilience.
