Summary: THIS IS THE WORST ANIMATED MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN
Review: Although I am old enough for not going ga-ga over animated movies, I still enjoy them, I liked Ice Age a lot, Shrek was wonderful, Monsters,Inc was also of my liking, but this lame pice of garbage was terrible. First of all, I think the film was a terrible example for children, why, oh let me think, the two main characters were a pair of good for nothing creatures, Lilo was a spoiled brat who did anything she wanted and here shield was that her parents were dead, come on, so if a kids parents die that means the kid is free to do as she wants and get what she wants, she was a destructive and stupid girl that thought she was so cool just for liking Elvis, so,not that I hate Elvis, he Is the King of Country, which I enjoy, but that was a very lame addition to this already wreck of a film. And the second character, Stitch was a destructive and vicious animal that looked like he had some sort of disease, I still think he should be put down by a vet or something. This characters are "wonderful" role-models for children right. In a time when children are growing more and more dumb and spoiled, do we really need to encourage it even more. I think Disney has lost all of its once wonderful quality, Disney was so desperate of getting people to like this movie so they put in the trailer all of the GOOD movies of the past like The Lion King(the best animated of all time) and Beauty and the Beast(the second) and made it look like if Lilo & Stitch was a spoof, thats why I went to see it, then I saw it, and I went out feeling angry because I spend almost two hours of my life seeing this "movie". Everything in it was awful, the story, the characters, the lame and stupid lines and etc. This "film" made it look to kids that the best and only way to be was to be like Lilo & Stitch, my little cousin tried to adopt the style of living of thoose two stupid characters, Disney must remember that children get very infuenced by tv and films and if they imitate the behaviour they see, I have seen it happen many times, and do you parents think is correct to condone indicipline, destructiveness and all of the things that were gloryfied in Lilo & Stitch, you may find it amussing, but kids will make it their way of life. If this film wins best animated movie in the Oscars I will really be upset and don't see more of the awards because any person or group of people that condone honour this film don't know anything about movies, I do, I have studied filmaking, and have watched many films, I'm no master, but I know a little, and that is enough to see that this is junk, worst than junk but I cant curse here, so please, See Spirit:Stallion of the Cimarron rather than this, because I think that Lilo & Stitch shows most of the many things that are wrong with the world and encourages these mischiefs.

Summary: FANTASTIC movie! Great job, Disney!
Review: What a Fantastic movie! It moved my heart even more than the Lion King and Shrek. The characters are totally endearing and the story is delightful. It was exciting and funny, with the animation done in such a remarkable way that it showed even the most subtle emotions. The voices were perfect, even to Nani and David's lovely Hawaiian lilt. Because of the super team that made this movie, both voice cast and animators, we knew what the characters were feeling - and we felt it too. This movie grabbed our hearts and dragged us along for the whole super story. I owned a copy by 9 AM on the first morning this movie went on sale. We've watched it many times but my heart still stops when Stitch says, "Lost", and "Waiting" and when Lilo says, "Don't leave me, ok?". Disney, you did one heckuva job on this one, thanks!

Summary: Elvis and Hawaii never sounded better
Review: I absolutely loved this movie. Lilo and Stitch are so cute. Basically, once I heard Lilo use one of my favorite words abomination I fell instantly in love with this Elvis inspiring movie. This is a good wholesome movie for anyone to watch. Maybe the Elvis haters should avoid this pick.

Summary: Wasted idea
Review: This animated movie could have been all the good things that other reviews talk about. Instead, it's a boring tear-jerker, a 90-minute or so wasted idea.

Summary: Go Disney! YaY!
Review: I'm proud of Disney for making such a great movie. I have no what-so-ever dislikes about it in any way...and I'm extremely tired of people bad mouthing this wonderful movie! I've watched "Lilo and Stitch" over ten times and it gets better each and every time I view it. It was the cutest movie I've seen in a long time, and because I liked it so much, I went out and bought the soundtrack. Some people were disappointed about the quarrels and "scary" aliens, but the quarrels between Lilo and Nani were sisterly "Must Haves," and the aliens were the ones that put the climax in the movie. If you are completely out of touch with reality and thought that this movie was bad, I suggest you view it again with a better point of view. I also suggest Disney's "Spirit," because it's a magnificent movie too. Way to go Disney!

Summary: A terrible mistake for Disney
Review: ---
As the recent crash-dive of *Treasure Planet* demonstrates, with *Lilo & Stitch* the Disney people set the moviegoing audience's expectations at a much higher level than they can sustainedly achieve. In terms of plot, character development, visual artistry, ingenuity, insight into human nature, and the proverbial scientifictional "sense of wonder," the corporate clowns at the House of the Mouse have allowed some genuine innovation to escape onto the screen, and as a result they're going to have a horrible time of it for the next couple of years. Apart from the stuff they're second-handing from Pixar, there doesn't seem to be anything in the Disney pipeline that comes close to the high level of quality joyfully splashed across the eyeball by DeBlois and Sanders in *Lilo & Stitch*. One example of the sheer enjoyment this film can deliver to even a Certified Grump like me is the fact that although I've loathed Elvis Presley from the moment he was first inflicted upon the nation back in the '50s, the writers/directors of this picture actually made me *enjoy* every minute of Lilo's efforts to make a "model citizen" out of her green-card-less alien using the Pelvis as her template. Borjemoi! ...

Summary: Love, Loyalty and Family
Review: This is a gem of a movie. Stitch is definately the star of this movie and adds the right degree of humor throughout the movie. Kids and adults will enjoy this movie and so it is excellent family entertainment. The love between the two sisters and their ability to eventually open their hearts to others at the end of this movie make it a moral and moving tale. It is just a pleasure to watch a movie with plot, storyline, timing, humor, etc. all working together for a change.

Summary: Stitch-the most delightful alien in cinematic history.
Review: Disney's best animated film is, strangely enough, neither an epic such as Atlantis or The Lion King, but a relatively simple sci-fi comedy about a rowdy alien who befriends a little girl and her older sister. That alien, in particular, is named Stitch, the end result of genetic experimentation; he exists solely for pure destruction and now that he's loose on Earth, the aliens send his creator to bring him back. First, let me get into the drawbacks. The movie takes a bit longer than the usual animated film to get into its central plot (almost a good half hour!) and I can see how that might test a few kids' attention spans. The animation itself is mostly very good, but some of the backgrounds are static and maybe less in quality than you might expect. Probably of greatest concern to parents is, given the destructive nature of the movie's titular E.T., it's possible kids might get scared (though I doubt it). But all in all, these are merely minor quibbles in what is otherwise a terrifically entertaining and heartwarming comedy. The film has appeal for virtually everyone. The "edginess" and surprising unpredictability of the material will please those who tire of the typical Disney formula. Sure, the story is a partial carbon-copy of Spielberg's E.T., but the filmmakers put enough spin on it to make it a work that stands fitfully on its own. Animated Disney films usually rely on two elements: crowdpleasing, nonoffensive humor and a heartfelt message. Some Disney movies vacillate back and forth between these with occasional success while some just fail outright. Lilo and Stitch, on the other hand, works beautifully as both simultaneously, delivering a palpable relationship between the two sisters, meanwhile showing how their lives are "wrecked" by their interaction with Stitch. The movie's message, the importance of family, is probably nothing new to avid Disney fans, but I've yet to see it delivered as well as it has here. The voice acting here is excellent; Tia Carerre, Daveigh Chase, Ving Rhames, and Jason Scott Lee all convincingly embed their characters with the right tone. But the scene-stealer is Stitch, easily the cutest-and possibly greatest-character to come from the Disney vault. His initial obsession with destruction is hilariously portrayed without going overboard, and his eventual transformation is touching and easy to believe. If listening to Stitch sincerely state "Nobody gets left behind" to Lilo doesn't get you choked up, nothing will. In the end, though, Lilo and Stitch is touching without getting overly sentimental. It's fast, exciting, and hilarious, a much needed tonic for Disney, whose animated movies seemed to be getting worse as the years pass by. Add in an enjoyable Elvis soundtrack given a modern spin, and you've got yourself a movie that can be recommended to anyone.

Summary: Best Disney movie since Beauty and The Beast
Review: Appropriate for all ages is this delightful Disney film that showcases the best in family entertainment that the studio is known for. Drawn with a simpler style of animation than the computer-graphic-enhanced material that they've producing of late, this beautiful film (which looks like a living watercolour painting) centres on a misunderstood little Hawaiian girl named Lilo and her adventures with Stitch, an alien from a planet that rejected it. The two help each other learn the true meaning of family, and along with Lilo's older sister Nani (voiced by Tia Carrere who oddly enough gives her most memorable performance) they make up quite the unconventional clan. Stitch, originally an alien weapon of destruction, is given a lesson in togetherness when he learns that having love in his life is worth his putting his baser tendencies to rest. Very lovingly made, and very enjoyable, with Lilo being a particularly endearing and fun character.

Summary: The most imaginative Disney movie in years
Review: For those animation fans who enjoyed the myths, fairy tales, and folk stories Disney had given us in the past, but yearned for a new story that has never been told before, Lilo and Stitch is just what you've been looking for. The animation is clean and tailored specifically to the story-line, the characters are easy to identify with, and the story is unique and perfectly suited for the new millennium. A quirky little girl, her older-sister-turned-guardian, her no-nonsense case worker and her newly-adopted extra-terrestrial "dog" create a story with a little bit of something for everyone. Lilo and Stitch is sure to win the hearts of kids of any age.
