Rating: Summary: LACKLUSTRE, AND UNFAIR TO THE DRAWN ANIMATION MEDIUM Review: What a disappointment from Disney. The animation in this effort is nowhere near as spectacular as it could have been. With static backgrounds that sometimes look like they were drawn with crayons, this movie represents a low point in Disney animation, occasionally resembling a cheesy, medium budget weekend morning cartoon. With the success of movies like Toy Story and Monsters Inc, it seems computer generated animation rules the roost these days. If only Disney others would go back to the drawing board and lavish the kind of care on their new projects that was evident for the likes of "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Lion King"! My overall review: this half-hearted attempt is probably worth indulging if you have youngsters among the audience, but it holds very sparse appeal in general. I'd recommend Nemo instead if you want to have some real family fun.

Rating: Summary: Animation on the cheap Review: I paid 22 dollars for what I thought would be a great Disney film. The story line was disjointed, and certainly beyond what a young child could make any sense out of. Lately Disney's M.O. seems to be: Make the animation using as few colors as possible i.e. (powder blue, brown, muted red, and possibly one or two other colors). Many scenes in Stitch seem to have backdrops done in watercolor. DreamWorks and Pixar will be my choice for animation if this is the best Disney can do-they exhibit good color, depth of field, even if sometimes exaggerated,[ex. the trees in the background in certain scenes in Shrek had too much haze in an effort to simulate the contrast between the foreground and background] texture, and great sound. I'll keep The Lion King, Shrek and other quality animation DVDs, but Stitch and Atlantis have got to go. To digress for a moment, the animation in Atlantis was dark, used a limited amount of colors, and had unatural lines especially on body parts, i.e. squared off fingers and fingernails, squared off muscles and the like. The 2.35:1 ratio was a nice touch in that I'm viewing it on a "106" screen through a projector.
Rating: Summary: Good, but a mite overrated. Review: I was sick with a cold one night and managed to catch this on ABC's The Wonderful World Of Disney. I decided to check it out because of all the good things I heard about it. I thought Stitch, Agent Pleakly and Dr. Jumba were very funny characters (David Odgen Steirs steals the show as Jumba). The "villain", Captain Gantu was my favorite character. He was a REALLY cool-looking alien. He's this like 12-foot tall, military buff-type guy (Kevin Micheal Richardson was the perfect voice for Gantu). OVERALL. LILO AND STITCH was a movie that was only good enough to keep me entertained. I give it a 3 and half out of 5. I wouldn't reccommend buying it though, but it's worth a rent if still think Disney stuff is cool (like me). This feature is not exactly as good as most everyone says it is (that's just my opinion). Personally I thought DUMBO (which is one of the greatest films ever made in animation history) was MUCH better than LILO AND STITCH. Still, if you wanna try it, don't let me be the one to stop you!
Rating: Summary: lilo and stitch one of the best animated movies of all time Review: I rented lilo and stitch just last friday and I only saw it once before renting it. And it was on disney channel. and I gotta say it's an awesome movie to say the least. It shows that everyone's different in their own way and that any family can work out together and as long as you got ohana you will never be left behind or forgotton.
Rating: Summary: The Worst Disney Movie Ever! Should be avoided by children! Review: As a parent of a 3 1/2 year old and a 2 year old I thought for sure this would be another Disney hit in out household! Boy was I wrong! This movie was aweful! So bad, that I couldn't even sit though the whole thing. DH ended up watching it with the kids and when it was over, I vowed that they would NEVER watch this movie again. Lilo is a SPOILED BRAT, her sister is the WORST caregiver! She should have her sister removed from her home. This child needs proper attention and guildlines instead she just does what she wants. Stitch is even worse than she is and just destructive as all get out. I agree with the other reviews that fault this movie. It is not well written. I do do not remember a Disney Movie that was this poor! Young children aquire enough interesting habbits on thier own without picking up some of the less than wonderful ones from this movie. Needless to say this movie is going into the trash(what a waste of $20) and my children will not be watching it again any time soon. I agree with some of the other reveiws, if I could give this zero stars I would!
Rating: Summary: The Best There Is Review: 'Lilo & Stitch' is possibly the greatest Disney masterpiece ever created (in my opinion). It blends magnificent, newly rebirthed coloring techniques, Elvis musical tracks, brand-new voice talent, and enough emotion to make a person laugh, cry, and cheer. The storyline revolves around an illegaly-created genetic Experiment, and a lonely little Hawaiian girl. They find each other, and nothing but chaos ensues. The hyperactive alien, 'Stitch', is voiced by director Chris Sanders, and the youthful girl, 'Lilo', by child-actor Daveigh Chase. The interaction between these two characters is magical and heart-warming; comparable to past relationships between Disney characters. If you haven't noticed before, 'Lilo & Stitch' is the first animated sci-fi film by Disney. Still, the basic family-formula hasn't changed, and that's what keeps the movie good. The movie was the smash-hit of the summer of 2002, so if you haven't seen it yet, you've missed out. Take it from the fans: this is a masterpiece worth adding to any video collection. Please consider.
Rating: Summary: Must-Buy For Everyone in your family for sure! Review: Disney classic, and my favorite. Even for a kid like my teens, I'm not embarassed to say that this movie is definately in my Top 5 favorite mvies ever. And I've seen many movies. It's all about this cool alien Stitch landing on Earth and having to fit in, not be destyructive as he was programed, and find his place with his companion Lilo. It's a great cartoon and is cool.
Rating: Summary: Hula Thunk It? Review: I didn't see "Lilo and Stitch" until it came out on DVD. My 2 year old fell in love with this show immediately. It had to grow on me a little bit before I realized just how great this movie about a little alien experiment trying to find a home was. The message in the film is simple, but speaks volumes: Family means that no one gets left behind or forgotten. Lilo and her sister Nani accept Stitch into their family(ohana, in Hawaiian terms). Lilo loves him right away, but Nani takes a little longer to convince that Stitch belongs. Lilo and Stitch have some wild adventures together and even fight with each other when Stitch gets blamed for tearing apart the little family. In classic Disney style, Stitch saves the day and proves that even if you aren't born into a family, you can become part of one. This movie is a wholesome, fun movie for the entire family. It holds the attention of the youngsters and the storyline is solid enough to keep adults interested. The DVD has a number of extras that include a documentary on the Hula dance and how much time was spent to get it just right for the movie. There is a great segment featuring Wynonna talking about how glad she was that Disney was promoting the music of Elvis Presley to youngsters via this flick. For the youngsters, there is a video by a group of kids singing "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You." Superb family fun.
Rating: Summary: The Best Disney Movie since the Fox and the Hound Review: The critics rated this movie well and it deserves it. It is a truly entertaining movie that can be watch by anyone and still be thoroughly enjoyed. It also teaches good morals to little kids, if you care about that sort of thing. One thing that supports it, and you'll notice it, is all the little humourous quirks they fit throughout the movie, ie: the character Pleakley has two toungues, the weird language Stitch uses and Lilo's facination with Elvis. It's a 5 star kids movie and it's worth buying if you have any kids at all!
