can they understand the cat in Stuart Little? 

I personally think you should've included this compelling evidence in the video (especially with the bonus meme at the end), but you are the auteur here

@@colette2529 i truly didn't expect it to be so controversial.

I mean, I was literally just about to say. Without him being calked a dog he looks exactly like a cat. Like, even the way he runs. I guess that's just a result of Bruce having to look like the "laddy cat" snowball is pinning after for the joke to work

My issue with this conclusion is that the scene in question is coded like a scene in a 90's comedy when the leading man hits on someone he thinks is beautiful, only for the person to turn around to reveal themselves as a man in drag and/or a Trans person. A terrible, outdated joke that has no place in modern society. However, I would not put it past the writers of the TV show to take that joke formula and also confusingly map the gender element of the joke to the dichotomy of cats and dogs. Because the punchline in the clip you've shared is not just that Bruce is masculine (unless calling Bruce a "dog" is itself a play on calling him ugly because he's not seen as a girl) but also that he is a dog. Which raises several questions about the relationship of gender and species in the Stuart Little universe I don't think it's prepared to answer. But the appearance of an androgynous dog like Bruce does provide an important clue useful for further analysis.

Your cat is adorable

It's called being a genius

@@Jordan-zt6jq you know, I don't know. Maybe? I once was supposed to get tested but I didn't go cause I got distracted, I think my buddy came over and we went for a walk. It was summer, ya know? Can't pass that up.

There are also humans called Dick. Makes you wonder what kind of society we truly live in.

​@@Chillerll Dick is just short for Richard

"Guy" as a given name is derived from the Italian name "Guido", which is Latinised from Old High Germanic "Wido". The actual meaning of either name is debated.

I’m not even religious and I have no idea where it came from but I own a bible literally so small you *need* a magnifying glass to read it. It’s like at most an inch and a half tall. I have no idea who printed it or how, but it is possible.

​@@AfromanRants Stuart did obviously

In a world where tiny animals are sentient, publishing houses existing to print books in miniature seems not just logical, but likely. And while you may think that such small printing presses would struggle for funding, I imagine religious texts and propaganda for the “betterment” of non-human people would be the first tiny books published. You just gotta make the mice and the birds aware that Jesus was a human *early*

​@@AfromanRants In WW1 Muslims fighting for the British were given miniature Qurans.

But if stuart is a human and humans can't understand cats, how does he understand snowbell?

@@lucs028 schizophrenia

@@gy7uj917 it all makes sense now

Not just suggests. The book straight up say's a human gave birth to him.

That answers zero questions!

The Stuart of the books is unambiguously a small human, and the Stuart of the movies is unambiguously a mouse.

And being openly bigoted against cats is such a bizarre thing to include in a RU-vid video 19:08

​​​@@Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1024 men literally tried to use his *orange* cat as a reference for the entire species 😂

I never saw it as bigotry but rather how humans like to “own” animals/anything none human. And dont treat animals as equals. Given the idea that all sentient live is equal. I saw it as her being like we discourage it because sentiment life treats other life not as equal

It's not that complicated dude, she's just correct. It'd be more difficult to adjust.

I accodently step on my cats tail if we're both unaware, a mouse would literally be dead & its be traumatizing if said mouse was your child. I'd be anti adopt mouse if I could

Holy shit I had the exact same experience except I was 3. My aunt really wanted to take me to my first movie. My mom was skeptical. I'm told we did go back in once I'd calmed down and also once she could tell from the audio that things were probably going well for the mouseboy.

💀

I mean they probably just called the cat by its name.

The cats aren't fully CGI, just the facial expressions are. They will have made a noise to get the cats attention so that it turned its head. It most likely wasn't delibarate.

I love your being although you never existed

Stuart in the books is a tiny human man. He's described as "looking rather mouselike", but people misinterpreted it to mean he is a mouse. Like how Twoflower from Discworld was described as "four-eyed" meaning that he wore glasses, but the cover artist drew him with straight up four eyes.

@@HiperPivociarz The illustrations in the book have him as a literal mouse, so it's not hard to see where people got confused

So that begs the question, if they had a child together, what size would it be? Would it be proportionately as small to them as a mouse is to a human or would it be "normal sized" to them? (Edit: an average mouse is about 9cm long, the average American male is about 175cm tall, so that means their child, if proportionately small, would be about 4.5mm tall)

@@HiperPivociarz Or how Balrog from LotR are described as having darkness behind them that look like wings and now most depictions of them have literal wings

@@leeroyjenkins0 I don't claim to have all the answers but a possible explanation could be that we see the movie through Stewart's lens of understanding so the translations between animals is seamless to him. The different animal languages could be similar but distinct perhaps like if you knew spanish you could make out a few phrases in Italian but without further study you couldnt really understand it. So perhaps to other animals the conversation is legible but more broken than the fluency that Stewart interprets it as? I

clearly not enough of a bird guy, otherwise you'd know that all large birds are fake and just have speakers in them that only play that one sound.

Shut up bird

@@_ikako_ woah woah, he said he's a "bird guy." What assurances do we have that HE'S real?

Birds aren't real. Bird guy is a government plant

Humans do experiments on birds too. Mostly pigeons, but songbirds are also used as a model for the neurobiology of language learning.

i swear snowbell specifically referenced it as a dog in dialogue but i'm sure not going to watch it again to find out.

@@LeoVader well that’s me told! Great video btw

@@LeoVader maybe "dog" was being used as a euphemism

@@LeoVader Bruce has whisks

@@vonniepunch dogs have whiskers too

Holy shit

AND THE DRAWINGS ARE JUST VISUAL METAPHORS! GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER PEOPLE, THE GLOBALISTS ARE PUTTING CHEMICALS IN THE WATER THAT TURN YOUR LITTLE HUMAN FRIENDS INTO LITERAL MICE!!!!

Yeah, that's exactly what he is. He's not a literal mouse, he's a tiny man who's "mouse-like". He has mouse features, including a friggin' tail of all things, but he was conceived and born from human parents, and is always regarded throughout the books as a human man. It's.... complicated. It's definitely one of those things that can only make sense to children, because they'll just blindly accept anything at that age. A fat guy who stalks you every waking moment to see if you're being naughty and breaks into your house once a year to commit reverse burglary? Sure thing. A kleptomaniac magical woman who's got an unhealthy obsession with human dentata? Right on. A human family who gives birth to a boy but looks like a mouse and matures faster than Benjamin Button, who is fully human yet looks exactly like a mouse for some wholly unexplained reason? Yeah sure, anyway when's lunch?

Does the cat mafia try to kill him or is it just the regular mafia?

@@WobblesandBean so what are his fake parents when they turn up, also mouse looking people?

Yeah, this theory makes the most sense. ...But the cats! What about the cats? They're still a mystery.

That's literally just how Stuart is spelled tho?

@@amagicalduck155 it can be spelled Stewart , Steward and Steuart as well. All of them are kinda awful to look at tbh but i just find Stuart to be the second worst

@@PieMastyr my uncle's name is Stuart so it looks more correct to me than any other spelling

Yeah these sorts of things always happen with name spellings. It comes down to familiarity most of the time, though for me in this case it's mostly aesthetic. It's also a bit of phonetics too since i like the pronunciation of the name with a distinct 'w' sound like "stew-art" or "stoo-wert" rather than "stoo-art" which to me is implied by the u spelligs. Either way it's personal preference, i just thought itd be fun to mention

or those white mice are the same species from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Yeah, looks a lot like a cat to me.

I've seen the episode, I thought it was a cat too until later on Snowbell said it was a dog. I think another character refers to it as a dog too.

damn, the littles really only adopted stuart for clout, huh?

Exactly… you can consider the orphanage administration lady a bigot, but maybe she’s just seen this shit before. She knows what’s up when a WASP-y family adopts a mouse on a whim

I'm sorry but please tell me, what is a transracial?

@@finnsweeney2604 I think it means you were adopted by a family that is a different race than your own

“You must suffer as I have” - Stuart Little

Yes, Stuart Little was a Children's Book from 1945. But in that, Stuart was actually a horribly deformed human child, and his adventures were a lot weirder.

@@bluerobin7051 ... what

Yes, it's a book. In the original, he's a tiny human who looks like a mouse. His parents remove any references from mice being harmed from books (like the rhyme 3 blind mice. They also change The Night Before Christmas to say louse instead of mouse).

So is the Book of Stuart Little that Stuart actually basically existed in Real Life of a True Story back in 1945?
