Summary: very funny
Review: Very Funny Film. Great for adults and kids to see, I was pleased to watch this film because it cenetered around Hawaiins, usually cartoons center around white characters. Good change. This film was great, except for the whole aliens coming down to get Stitch back.

Summary: So Touching
Review: In average, this is a classic film, my children love it so much, even they are not understand English! The sound and music are great, I love the Elvis songs, such a good mix with the storyline. Even for me, Lilo and Stitch touch my heart a lot, about universal values of o`hana (that means family). Even the sequel (Stitch the Movie) is lower compared to this original movie. And finally-never forget--this is just a cartoon movie for children.

Summary: A Cute Family Movie
Review: This is one DVD that you definantly want to add to your collection. I love the animation and Lilo and Stitch are soooo cute. My younger sister and cousins loved it and the movie never gets boring so we sometimes watch it several times a month (we have tons of movies, so watching one two times a month is a big thing!!) In a big family, this DVD will never stay on the shelf!! It is that good. I would recommend this movie to ANYONE, from a baby who just enjoys hearing sounds and seeing all the colors, to a 99-year old looking for a great movie to watch with great-grandchildren. Great for ANY age!!

Summary: The Moose Hole - Nothing but 'Burning Love' for this Film
Review: Traditional animation has taken quite a few hits in recent years and some from the studio you would least suspect, Disney. Disney's last traditional animated effort, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, only managed to gather $84 million by the end of its run, well short of the film's $120 million budget. Many recent Disney animated features have suffered from bloated budgets of which include Fantasia 2000 ($90 million budget), Tarzan ($130 million), and the studio's holiday animated release, Treasure Planet ($140 million). Then how has this genre been able to survive? Thanks in part to the Walt Disney Company's Florida animation facility, they have been able to produce the occasional hit to keep the animation wing of the studio chugging along. Traditional animation needs a hit more then ever due to the failures of not only Disney but Dreamworks, Warner Brothers and 20th Century Fox which seem to signal the end of this motion picture staple genre.The story centers on a mischievous alien who crash lands on Earth and learns the meaning of family from his new friends. Experiment 626, created by the mad scientist Jumbaa, is declared a huge hazard to the universe and is ordered by the Galactic Federation to be exiled on a far distant asteroid. Unfortunately things quickly go wrong and 626 hijacks a space cruiser only to crash into the Hawaiian Islands on the planet Earth. Being mistaken for a normal dog, a misunderstood girl named Lilo adopts the galactic criminal and dubs him Stitch. Unbeknownst to his adopted family, Stitch had been programmed to destroy everything in sight and nothing else but over time the fugitive learns accepts the love of his new friends and learns the meaning of family. The story for Lilo & Stitch starts off a little slow at the beginning but as the film goes on, it quickly picks up and comes off as being unique and well done. One thing that can clearly be said is that the plot holds up much better then Atlantis: The Lost Empire, which suffered severely especially in its third act. Stitch may look ugly but, as he puts it, he's just "cute and fluffy". The character of Stitch has to be one of the most original creations coming from Disney animation. Certainly he is more different then any other Disney animated character and that is probably why he is so loveable. The Walt Disney Company will definitely be making a fine coin off this wonderful creation based on merchandise sales this summer to be sure. Be forewarned that some smaller children may be frightened by some of Stitch's mischievous antics at the beginning of the feature but they are nothing of huge concern. The character of Lilo, who is a typical six year old who is cute and weird but also has a bit of a dark side, is probably one of the most down to Earth animated characters ever. She feeds a fish peanut butter sandwiches everyday believing it controls the weather and when another little girl makes a comment, Lilo jumps on her and punches her. Her antics worry the audience and yet at the same time we can't help but feel sorry for the way others treat her. The only problem found in the cast of characters lies with the background aliens. Though there are a variety of them in the feature, they aren't as unique to audience members as the aliens in Men In Black or Evolution but it is difficult to do that with so many alien features in recent years. Overall, Lilo & Stitch is a pure Disney gem and ranks up there with many of the past traditional animated classics. Certainly the film doesn't match up with the artistic merits of The Lion King or Aladdin but its own unique style makes it stand out from the rest of the box office pack this summer. This has to be one of the most different Disney animated films in recent memory but the studio needs to keep up with its ever changing audience. Stitch suffers from a slow start and over cuteness in the story department but there is tons of humor that mixes well with the overall story and delightful characters that makes up for those small squabbles. Despite featuring no original songs, the soundtrack for Lilo & Stitch offers several Elvis Presley songs that go extremely well with the actions occurring in the film. Lilo & Stitch is definitely one of the best comedies of the year and should be considered one of most unique and outstanding animated features in recent years.

Summary: Magical film, great for you and your 'ohana.'
Review: Prior to seeing 'Lilo & Stitch,' I wasn't sure if I wanted to see this film. When I was at the Disneyland theme park in Anaheim, CA during July 2001, I saw a sneak preview/trailer of this film. I wasn't so sure if I wanted to see it or not. When the film hit theatres, I had failed to see 'Lilo & Stitch.' When the movie saw its DVD release, I didn't buy it. When the movie premiered on ABC a few months ago, I managed to see all but the first 20 minutes or so of the film. I had realized that I was missing a great Disney masterpiece. So, I decided a few weeks later that I wanted to buy the movie. When, I saw the film in its entirety. Wow, man...just...wow. 'Lilo & Stitch' became one of (if not the) my favorite Disney films. This film is rated PG, so this is a darker film, compared to most other Disney animated films, but this can be enjoyed by all (though the youngest audiences need to watch it with older people). Not every family is fortunate, and the family of Lilo (Daveigh Chase) and her older sister, Nani (Tia Carrere), is one of those broken families. The two sisters struggle to stay together since their parents were killed in a car accident. They see frequent visitations from the social worker, Cobra Bubbles (Ving Rhames), and he checks to see if Nani is doing a good job taking care of Lilo. Then, came a monster (which Lilo thinks he is a dog), experiment 626 (created by 'evil genius' scientist, Jumba Jookiba (David Ogden Stiers)), arrives on Earth on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Later on, Lilo chose a new pet...which was 626. She renamed him 'Stitch' (Chris Sanders). Lilo never fit in with the rest of the crowd, while Stitch never had a family. Similarly, both had very bad behavior. Just when you thought things couldn't have gotten any worse for Lilo and Nani, Stitch causes chaos in shops, at the beach, and even at the Pelekai house (Lilo & Nani's residence). Little do Lilo and Nani know, Stitch was being watched and hunted by two aliens, Jumba and Pleakley (Kevin McDonald). The two have trouble capturing the experiment, and end up being fired from the job. During the middle of the film, Lilo teaches Stitch about love and the meaning of 'ohana' (which is Hawaiian for family, and it means to never be left behind..or forgotten). Stitch's behavior gradually changes throughout the film, and begins to feel sympathy for Lilo. Suddenly, Jumba and Pleakley arrive at Lilo's house, and go after Stitch. Stitch and Lilo get away, until another space creature, Captain Gantu (Kevin Michael Richardson) arrives, and capture both Lilo and Stitch. Stitch frees himself, but Lilo is still in Gantu's hands. Nani realizes that she may never see her little sister ever again. Things change, as Jumba and Pleakley start to sympathize Nani. Stitch and the gang go after Gantu's ship, and attempt to rescue Lilo. At the end, things go well for the Pelekai family, and have new members of the family..including Stitch, himself. The ending was great..showing images of Lilo, Stitch, Nani, David (Jason Scott Lee, Nani's boyfriend), Jumba, and Pleakley. During the whole film, I had some really good laughs (Pleakley was very funny, IMO), I nearly cried when Stitch was feeling lost, and when Nani realized that Lilo is captured by Gantu. The music is really awesome. You won't find many original tracks in the soundtrack. That's because you'll hear many Elvis Presley hits on the movie, which was perfect for the film. The tunes from Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu & Kamehameha Schools Children's Chorus were outstanding. Don't forget the tunes from composer, Alan Silvestri (who did the soundtrack for the Back to the Future movies)...they are very good. While I didn't care for the A*Teen's remake of "Can't Help Falling in Love", I did enjoy Wynonna's version of "Burning Love." Even though "Finding Nemo" and "The Lion King" are the bigger blockbuster movies, I feel that "Lilo & Stitch" beats both of them (though I like the other two films, also). I feel that this movie is somewhat underappreciated, and many people are missing out on a great adventure. Never judge a film by the trailers alone. I did that, and in many cases, my impressions of the movies change. You'll laugh, cry, and be amazed at the same time. This IS a classic film, thanks to Chris Sanders and the rest of the team behind the Disney film. Everyone should see "Lilo & Stitch." You will not regret it at all.

Summary: Leave Nemo where he is 'cause this is much better!!!
Review: This is clearly the best Disney I have ever watched!And I love life,because it doesn't stop here.There's also a brilliant sequel and an amazing TV series.Whatever it is,I virtually never stop watching Lilo and Stitch.I really disappoints me that Disney could well stop making their movies using traditional animation methods,as some of these are considerably better than the Pixar offerings.Monsters Inc was entertaining but isn't really designed for repeated viewing,and,no offence anyone,but Finding Nemo was awful!However I can recommend Lilo and Stitch to any hard core animated film fan,it's one of those that can really cheer you up when you're down.
I've already been hearing rumours of a third movie release so someone better tell me the rumours are true soon. After going back to check on updated reviews of Stitch The Movie it seems that the rumours of the third film are confirmed to be true now so Mahalo!Now I just wanna know when it's out and if it's going to the theatres or not.I hope so.Compared to Jungle Book 2,it deserves it!

Summary: KEPT ME IN STITCHES
Review: What's so delightful about this wonderful Disney movie is the transformations that take place with several of the characters. Lilo starts out a little pouty, a little disobedient, a little timid. By the end of the movie, we see a different Lilo.
Stich, the little devil!, starts out nasty, mean and uncontrollable. As he learns the value and importance of family, we see a different Stitch.
Nani and David also emerge from the initial stages from a pupply love type of romance to a full-blown parental affection for both Lilo and Stitch.
I liked the female alien leader, mainly because of her wonderful accent (voiced by the marvelous Zoe Caldwell), and the fact that she reminded me of the mother creature in "Alien."
The bad guys are great, too, and even their transformation is great. (Except of course for the big evil Captain!).
The watercolor art is beautiful and the movie has a wonderful happy feeling. It's an instant classic!

Summary: A New Classic
Review: After a long break in good movies, the Walt Disney Company has been able to miraculously create a movie comparable to its classics. It seemed like for quite some time the Walt Disney Company had run out of ideas, so it resorted to making sequels for many of its classic movies. Then, without warning, the Walt Disney Company came up with a brilliant idea for a movie. The movie was "Lilo and Stitch," and it seems to have become an instant classic. When I first heard of the movie, I thought that it was going to be another pathetic attempt to turn an original idea into a movie, but much to my surprise it was quite the opposite. The commercials leading up to the release of "Lilo and Stitch" portrayed the movie as a movie directed toward young boys, with aliens and guns, but it turned out to be a movie that everyone could enjoy. Up until "Lilo and Stitch" came out, "Sleeping Beauty" was my favorite Walt Disney movie. Instantly, "Lilo and Stitch" became my favorite Walt Disney movie, in addition to "Sleeping Beauty," of course. The story line behind "Lilo and Stitch" is like many I have heard before, but with a unique twist. Lilo, one of the movie's two main characters, was an oddball. Not liked by her peers, her sister decided to adopt a pet for Lilo to befriend, but gets more than she had hoped for. Not only is this movie adorable, but it also has a good message behind it. The moral of the movie is to not care what other people think, but to always believe in yourself and know that the people who truly matter will always be there for you, a moral that every child should have bestowed upon them. Another positive message one receives after watching this movie is one concerning self-image. In this movie, all of the characters are drawn to proportion, and do not look unhealthy due to how skinny they are. The characters look like real people, not fat, but also not sculpted and perfected. When a child sees this movie, he or she will see that not everyone can have a perfect body or look sleek and slender, but that it is okay to be healthy. Lilo is able to hula her way into the heart of many people who watch Lilo and Stitch, and as a result has become a favorite Disney character of mine. Like many other Walt Disney Company movies, Lilo and Stitch also has a sequel, but this sequel is not cheesy like most sequels are. Rather, this sequel is nearly as good as Lilo and Stitch was. If you enjoy "Lilo and Stitch," I would highly recommend seeing "Stitch! The Movie." Also, if you enjoy the idea behind "Lilo and Stitch," I would recommend "Lilo and Stitch: The Series." Each of these installments is a continuation of the idea behind "Lilo and Stitch." The Walt Disney Company really made a wise choice in creating this movie. I know that I loved all aspects and installments involving "Lilo and Stitch," and I hope that you will to. Aloha!

Summary: One of the Two Disney Films I Like
Review: I'm not a big Disney fan, but I do enjoy two of their movies--Mulan and Lilo and Stitch. Mulan has enough action to keep me satisfied, while Lilo and Stitch is geniuenly funny on more than one level. Kids, of course, are going to love Stitch and the aliens. Now, they are funny, but for me, the funniest part of the movie is the interaction between Lilo and her older sister. I, myself, have a younger brother who's thirteen years younger than I, so I found myself laughing hysterically because I've been in those situations. The joke about "maybe you should trade me in a get a rabbit instead!" is still a favorite around my parent's house. In any event, this has been the funniest Disney movie in years. Anybody with kids needs this on their movie shelf.

Summary: An Instant Classic!!!!!
Review: Lilo & Stich is an instant classic,no doubt about it!!
This movie is just plain spactacular!!
A girl named Lilo and her older Sister Nonnie live in a little house on Hawaii.Meanwhile in space,a mad scientist named Jumba creats experiment 626 A.K.A. Stich.The space council considers 626 an abomination so they lock up Jumba and are about to send 626 somewhere into space,just then 626 escapes,takes a ship,and blasts out into space,unfortunatly,he lands right on Hawaii.
He gets run over by 3 or 4 trucks,the people that were driving the trucks gave him to the pet store.
Lilo and Nonnie go to the pet store one day and get Stich.
For the first 1/2 of the movie their enemys are Jumba and Pleakly.
The 2nd 1/2 is where the TRUE enemy steps in,Ganto(i may have spelled that wrong.)2nd leader of the council.
There is also a t.v. show on disney channel.
