Summary: good
Review: It's about what I thought it would be. It's funny at moments, warm at moments, sad, and exciting. Everything that makes a good movie. However it lacks that Disney magic. I really did not feel like I was watching a Disney movie. You can't compare this movie to "Snow White", "Beauty & the Beast" or any other of the magical movies Disney used to make. The thing I liked most about this movie was the excellent hand painted backgrounds. They were truly beautiful to look at. Disney had better get back on the ball because they are no longer the only company out there who can make a good cartoon. "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" was a far better movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Such a cute movie
Review: This movie was so cute, my three year old son just loves to watch it. The movie could play all day long and he would be happy. We love disney so yet another great creation!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good For Both Boys and Girls
Review: Our whole family liked this movie that we regretfully didn't see untill it was released on video. We have a little boy and girl so it is nice to find a movie that will appeal to them both. Usually the Disney movies are geared towards one gender or the other, but both the kids liked this one. I really liked the Elvis music instead of the normal sappy tunes that accompany the "kiddie" movies and I found the sarcasm great! I also liked the message, sometimes the ones you love drive you nuts, but you would never want anyone in the family to be left behind.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: NOT for the very young!
Review: I am surprised that Disney would put together an animated feature with so much negativity! I am equally surprised that so many reviews for this movie are POSITIVE!! Isn't anyone watching this movie with the eyes of a four-year-old? Here is what a four-year-old sees:

1. Stitch - An EXTREMELY DESTRUCTIVE alien creature, adopted and loved by a little girl. I have watched my 3 1/2 year old daughter construct and proceed to destroy set-ups of her toys in the same Godzilla-like fashion Stitch displays in the movie. Somehow it's OK for Stitch to destroy everything in his path, and he does finally learn not to do that, but that lesson is lost on a small child.

2. Lilo - A BRAT of a child! She nails the front door shut with about a hundred nails with her sister/guardian trapped outside. What parent would want their child to get this idea and possibly act it out? Not me! There are countless other bratty, stubborn exchanges between Lilo and her sister that my daughter just loves to copy. What sort of behaviors do we want Disney to teach and/or reinforce? Not these!!

3. Lilo's sister - How about this poor excuse of a guardian? Why do we want to depict this type of "family" that has no structure in a movie directed at young children? Have we really gotten to the point as a society that we believe this type of family is acceptable?

I consider myself to be pretty open and like to expose my children to many types of music, movies, books and all sorts of activities from which they can be entertained and learn something in the process. This is the first Disney movie that I've ever taken away from my children because I am tired of my daughter playing out the types of behaviors displayed in this movie, and I don't want my son to begin to learn these behaviors as well. I hope this isn't a direction that Disney plans to continue in.

If you have preschoolers, I'd recommend you skip buying this movie. I'm not sure at what age a child would understand not to copy the behaviors I've only sampled in this review, so take it under advisement if your children are a little older. Children are VERY impressed by the things they watch on TV, regardless of whether you watch with them or not, or try to explain that it's only a movie-not the way you behave in real life.

BOOO! HISSSSS! Disney, what are you doing???

Summary: A Great Original Movie
Review: This is a great disney movie and is a nice change away from princesses and wicked queens. This movie was very entertaining and hilarious. I would buy this movie for anyone who likes Disney movies!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not Bad For Disney!
Review: I wasn't too sure what to make of the movie when I first saw it; I wasn't sure whether or not to be insulted by the way the "pidgin" (local dialect) was portrayed. But after watching the movie a few more times I was glad I finally got the movie. It is Disney's first fully shaded movie (vs. computer assisted or computer generated movie) in a while. Stitch is a great character, not your atypical cute Disney character. He is a little troublemaker that reminds me a lot of my cat. The fact that this movie has a little more brawn and brains for what Disney has comeout with recently, is a good reason to get this one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cute
Review: The single thing that most impressed me with this movie is the fact that all the characters have REAL bodies. Lilo is this cute little pudgy girl and her sister is normal looking (not mutant as most animated characters are). The movie can get a bit gross at times (perfect for very little kids who enjoy such things) so be forewarned. I liked that this movie is so different than everything else for kids. It's a cute movie that can stand up to the constant replays that are sure to happen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stitch is the best!
Review: This is my favorite Disney movie! Stitch is really cute. I like the way he talks in the movie. Even my Mom likes the movie. We see different things every time we see it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Who could resist this movie?
Review: GREAT! Definatly the best movie DISNEY has put out in the last few years. The cast is extremely lovable, and this movie is definatly hilarious. Don't rent it, buy it. You will loooooove it, I can't see anyone not loving this movie..

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Parents Beware!
Review: Poor old Walt must be spinning in his grave at this one. This is hands-down the WORST "children's" movie that Disney has ever served up. I made the mistake of seeing this in the theatre because my family and I usually enjoy Disney films. In the first few minutes of this film, Lilo is called "wierd" by a classmate, so she attacks the other child and BITES her. Along with that lovely behavior example, Lilo and her sister live under the threat that a social worker is going to take Lilo away because her sister doesn't "measure up" as a guardian. Keep in mind that the girls' parents were killed in a car accident(Why is that necessary in a kids' movie?). My kids (3 & 6) were so disturbed by that story element that they had nightmares about losing us in a car accident and them being "taken away." In this day and age, children need to be allowed to be innocent as long as possible. Disney used to champion this idea--NOT ANYMORE. Do your kids a favor--keep them away from this movie. It is NOT family entertainment!!
