1 Exceptional Modern Animation
Lilo & Stitch is a lovely Disney animation about a lonely, imaginative girl named Lilo who lives with her sister, Nani, in Hawaii. Nani allows her to adopt a dog.. not knowing that the dog is actually an alien, who is labelled an international source of chaos and is being chased!
Lilo finds her first real friend, and has a lot of fun adventures with Stitch, while two aliens go on a search for Stitch. Lilo doesn't know, until the secret gets out..
This was a highly entertaining Disney movie, with a good soundtrack (Elvis had some great songs).
9/10 - A Charming Disney Movie
2 GREAT ANIMATED MOVIE!
I really enjoyed this movie! It was funny, it was sad, and it
sure was original. I liked it so much, I bought the dvd a couple
of years ago. Great for kids and adults,you'll really enjoy it!
3 Fresh, something new from Disney!
In a time in which Disney animation is releasing their worst films ever, "Lilo & Stitch" offers a fresh and solid story for everyone to enjoy. "Lilo & Stitch" is one of the better and more watchable Disney films since Fantasia 2000 or Tarzan, definitely outdoing weak or simply horrendous releases like "The Emperor's New Groove," "Mulan" or "Atlantis - The Lost Empire."
"Lilo & Stitch" is a heartwarming story, one of the sweetest films Disney has released since "The Rescuers." It tells the story of a lonely Hawaiian girl named Lilo, having lost her parents now living with her older sister Nani, who struggles to keep what's left of their family together but has a very difficult time. Nani isn't the best house-keeper and has a lot of trouble playing the role of mother to her sister and what's worse she loses her job and finds herself jobless under the threat of having Lilo being taken away. On the other side, Lilo is lonely, longs for real friends, not "friends" like Mertle, Yuki, Teresa and Elena, who are more of enemies to poor Lilo than friends. Lilo does receive a friend, an allien experiment who she names Stitch (Experiment 626 being his original name.) The big problem is that Jumba, Stitch's creator, made Stitch especially for destruction and Lilo will have a tough time changing his ways although she eventually does. After a great flying adventure over the skies of a Hawaiian island, Lilo, Stitch, Sister Nani and her boyfriend David become a family.
Animation here is beautifully, the style is of round characters and watercolor backgrounds, a deserved break from the horrible angular characters we saw on previous Disney films that followed "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," films in which the ugliness and simplicity of the art made you cringe. Lilo & Stitch offers many songs, a great deal of Elvis Presley (Which I thought was a nice addition!) The film opens with a beautifully animated Hawaiian dance "He Mele No Lilo" and later one freshens you with "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride."
One of the greatest Disney animated films in almost a decade!
4.4/5
4 Crowd pleasing Disney movie!
An alien experiment named Experiment 6209 has unique abilities like being bullet proof, iron proof, can think faster than computers and is very intelligent but agressive. He was created by an alien scientist named "Dr. Jookiba" ( voiced by David Odien Stiers) but it escaped into Earth for a place to hide and cause mayhem. Soon he himself into a pet shelter being bought as a dog from a little girl named "Lilo" ( Daveigh Chase) who has an older sister named "Nani" ( voiced by Tia Carrera) but later the creature is named "Stitch" as he learns to be calm and being social with other people including Lilo and Nani but soon alien agent Pleakly and Dr. Jookiba are hot on Stitch's tail.
An original and captivating animated film from Disney that has delightful artwork and colors done with excellent traditional animation with emotion and a fine Elvis soundtrack that propells the film.
The DVD has some decent extras like a video encylopidia on "Hawaii", game ( mostly for kids), Burning Love music video behind the scenes, A*Teens music video, the original Teaser trailers, Deleted scenes, and two featurettes, not to mention that the sound & picture quality is terrific.
A new disney classic is here to stay! a recommended movie, but i can't wait for the 2-Disc edition coming out soon.
5 Disney goes where no one has gone before>>>
It is always a wonderful thing when Disney comes out with another Family-oriented flick. In Disney's "Lilo and Stitch", Disney goes where no other Family Network has gone before. This film is very conscious of social issues and it never shys away from family problems that so often plague us. Lilo is the little star of the show who lives solely with her sister. Between geting on each other nerves and trying to keep their little household together, an alien life-form, Experiment 626 (a.k.a Stitch), crashes into the hearts of this family and changes their lives forever.
The film has both funny moments and serious ones. It is very heart-warming and (If-I-can-admit-it) it's also a mild tear-jerker. I believe older children will easily relate to its themes, and grown-ups alike.
This film came right on time. In an age where kids are going up faster and are more knowledgeable, it is high time that many of today's animated family oriented tales feature more REALITY. This is definately one of Disney's best, hands-down, no doubt about it! There are no ghosts, no goblins, you don't even have a prince charming in this one (LOL); this film brings reality, comedy and wit all in one neat package. Besides the permanent presence of aliens, this Disney film is as close to reality as it gets.
6 Last of the great Disney hand animated films
Stitch is a genetically engineered alien creature programmed for mass disruption who is bulletproof and super strong. Lilo is the troubled little Hawaiian girl who adopts Stitch as her pet dog when he escapes captivity on his home planet. This beautifully animated film is full of imaginative, whimsical characters and I found it very entertaining. Thankfully, it contains no unnecessary musical numbers.
I don't like musicals, so any time a Disney film comes along without any silly musical numbers it already has a positive head start with me. That isn't to say Lilo lacks signing and dancing completely - there is a traditional Hawaiian performance at the beginning and end of the film, and also a number of unexpected Elvis songs. The Hawaiian traditional fit in with the setting of the film so it didn't have that contrived feel of most animated musical numbers, like say, everything from Lion King. My initial knee-jerk reaction to it was - this must be some liberal, multicultural Disney pandering, but it really had a natural feel to it so I didn't mind at all. And the notion of a little Hawaiian girl being a devoted Elvis fan at such a young age is hilarious and just plain fun.
Stitch spends most of the film on the run from the crazy scientist who created him as well as a specialist on the planet Earth. Lilo is cared for by her big sister after their parents died in an accident. This lack of family by both Lilo and Stitch serves as the foundation of their friendship.
Stitch is a great little monster - he was designed to cause chaos but finds himself on the peaceful island of Hawaii. He has a tendency to tear up everything in sight but without any large cities to terrorize he must find a new purpose for himself. The story develops this family theme throughout and manages to tug at the audience's heart strings without being too obvious about it. Stitch is the result of illegal genetic engineering, and you might expect the film to get a little preachy on the subject. Fortunately it does not, but we can infer that the film takes the stance that any such living creature has the right to its own life.
The animation is outstanding with brilliant, vivid colors dominating nearly every scene. The film had a more traditional, hand drawn feel to it than the more geometrically drawn features like Toy Story or the super realistic Shrek or Monsters, Inc.
7 Great Movie. Buy the DVD before they discontinue it
This is a fantastic movie. If you're considering purchasing it, you need to know this: Disney (which distributes this film) does not sell movies on DVD forever. Toy Story, Toy Story II, Little Mermaid, and Beauty & the Beast were all available on DVD at one time, but they aren't any longer. If you liked this movie, buy it NOW, because tomorrow it may not be around any longer.
8 Best. Disney. Movie. Ever? Maybe.....
"Lilo & Stitch" never really caught my attention until seeing some hilarious trailers that involved Stitch ruining moments in past Disney movies: Ariel, the lil' redheaded mermaid, sings but Stitch comes riding in on a huge tidal wave heading towards Ariel; Belle and the Beast are having their dance but lil' Stitch is on top of a chandelier that comes crashing down nearly hitting the two characters; Jasmine and Aladdin are riding on a carpet singing away when Stitch arrives on a space ship, wooing Jasmine who then rides along with Stitch, leaving Aladdin in the dust; all the animals go to Pride Rock to see Simba's ceremony, only to be greeted with Stitch. "Hey, that's not Simba!" says Timon, then the animals run off in terror and disgust.
And each characters' response to Stitch: Get your own movie.
Indeed, lil' Stitch does get his own movie. I've always heard positive responses to this movie. Anyone I knew that seen this movie loved it. Newspaper articles praised it for its humor and use of Elvis music. Ebert loved the movie, but his buddy Roeper hated it. Oh well, Ebert's the man!
Sadly, I wouldn't be able to view the movie myself until it was to be released on DVD.
Prior to "Lilo & Stitch," Disney didn't have the movie that really grabs you (this excludes the Pixar ones). Let's face it, "Atlantis" was a complete disaster. "Fantasia 2000" just wasn't "Fantasia." "The Emperor's New Groove"... absolutely hilarious, I'll give 'em that. And also something lacking in Disney's trademark: musicals. Thinking of all this, I felt that "Lilo & Stitch" was going to be another disaster.
Once I finally bought it on DVD (I took a chance), little did I realize that I was gonna be completely amazed by the movie. The movie packs action, plenty of humor, and a charming storyline. Stitch (aka: Experiment 626) was created my a mad alien scientist to fulfill one duty: destroy everything. Both were captured and put on trial. Stitch was to be taken away, but he escapes and takes refuge on Earth in a lil' place we all know as Hawaii. There he becomes contained... in an animal shelter. A girl comes by to find a suitable pet. She finds Stitch, thinking he's a puppy. The girl's name is Lilo. And thus begins the duo's adventures, whether they'd be wacky or compassionate.
The movie also centers around Lilo's personal life and her relationship with her older sister. With their parents deceased, Lilo's older sister must care for the both of them. Lilo's sister, Nani, is also having a big problem with a social worker, named Cobra Bubbles (*snicker snicker*). Nani is trying to be a suitable mom for Lilo, but is faced with also losing Lilo. Pretty deep and touchy themes for a Disney movie.
Lilo tries to teach Stitch some manners as well. Stitch is very short-tempered, but he learns quickly. And to add more to the duo's wacky adventures, two aliens are tracking down Stitch: the alien that created Stitch, and a counterpart who is to keep things under control.
The movie's main theme is being a family and how a family can go through hard times. But in the end, the family always manages to pull through and stick together. The word "Owahana" describes the meaning of family (the meaning I forgot, but I will post when I remember).
"Lilo & Stitch" is not like the past Disney movies. Though the movie itself may seem silly, it packs a darker tone that hasn't been in a Disney movie since "The Lion King." An obnoxious little alien bent on destruction almost destroyed the most important value in everyone's lives: a family.
"Lilo & Stitch" then became one of my favorite Disney movies (if not, my favorite Disney movie ever). The animation rarely uses computer animation (finally... a cartoon that actually looks like a cartoon). And each time I watched the movie afterward, it always felt as if I'm watching it for the first time again. Rarely does a movie have such an impact on me.
A masterpiece.
9 A great Disney movie
In my opinion, Lilo & Stitch is one of Disney's better recent releases. My three-year-old son absolutely loves it. So much so that we managed to wear out our first DVD and had to buy a second one. The story is fresh and funny and the characters are quite loveable, despite the fact that many of them are aliens! I think I've seen (or heard) this movie so many times that I have most of the dialogue memorized. That said, it still remains to be funny each time it's played so it has to be good, right? I would recommend this DVD for children of any age.
10 A lovely tribute to the Islands!
There have been some fine Disney animated features over the years, but this is the one that I watch over and over again. For my money, this stands head and shoulders above the rest of the animated movies I've seen (and I try to see them all).
ANIMATION - A+: In the opening scene of the hula dancers, observe the reflections of the dancers on the wood floor. Wow!
PRODUCTION VALUES - A+: The movie is visually stunning. The backgrounds look like watercolor paintings and are extremely colorful. The backgrounds completely capture the look, colors, and flavor of living in a small town in Hawaii.
CHARACTER DESIGN - A+: The directors took great pains to design the look of the characters. Unlike most Disney women characters, the older sister has some meat on her bones and looks athletic, not anemic. Hallelujah! A more realistic approach to portraying women.
Lilo reminds me so much of my Hawaiian nieces in the way she moves and speaks! And the feistiness of her! Some people have said she does not present a good role model for children! I would say that she is a much more realistic child than usually shown in movies. I LOVE her spunk and strong personality!
My heart was completely captured by Stitch! What a roly poly, cute character he is. Chris Sanders, the director, provided the temporary voice of Stitch, but did such a great job that they kept his voice in the final movie. I can't imagine Stitch sounding any other way.
MUSIC = A+: Wow! The choral music sung by Hawaiian children is wonderfully moving! And of course, the King (Elvis)! Very appropriate as he was extremely popular in Hawaii.
TARGET AUDIENCE = B: The movie is SO entertaining for adults that I rather wonder if it isn't more enjoyable for adults than kids. I know that my three-year old niece wouldn't watch it because she thought the beginning was too "scary." Whereas, I've watched it maybe 5 or 6 times and laughed each time at the Elvis jokes and some of the other jokes that I think might go over the heads of children.
And just between you and me (nobody else is reading this, right?), there are a few moments when Stitch reads the story of the Ugly Duckling, realizing that he too is separated from any family, and when he prepares to leave Lilo that always make me cry. How a little furry animated character can show dignity and nobility I don't know, but he does.
I find the movie a delight visually, musically, emotionally, and it makes me laugh!
DVD EXTRAS = A+: I thought the extras on the DVD were quite nice. A great documentary on how the animators "got" the hula by attending a hula school, and a nice piece on the main animators and on the children's choir that sang the Hawaiian-style choral music in the film. Also lots of information on the Hawaiian islands.
11 Kids Want to Watch it Over and Over Again!
My little cousin and her "kiddie club" has watched this movie over fifty times and still counting! I have been "invited" to watch the action on at least a dozen visits. This is one movie that I enjoy because Lilo is so sweet yet adventurous. Stitch is cute and humourous as well. Its such a cute, wholesome Disney production!
12 Heh heh...
In all honesty, I wasn't expecting much from this movie. When I saw the advertisements before it came to the theater I just thought Disney was reaching...overextending itself.
Happily, I was wrong.
This film kept me giggling from start to finish. The characters were funny and real throughout. Lilo was such an oddly charming child and Stitch...well...he was just weird enough to be interesting.
13 a love of family
This movie has the best portayal of family values that I have seen in a movie. It shows the importance of staying together to achieve what is best. The only thing that I found disturbing was that the sister always seemed to be away. No wonder Lilo got into so much trouble, she really did not have very much self control. I also think that the little girls had way to mature attitudes about who could be thier friend and not it just did not seem real to me.
14 A pleasant surprise from Disney
Most people agree that today's Disney is not what it was fifty or so years ago when the clutch of animation features that made the brand were made. While Lilo and Stitch does not revive that grand tradition, it does beat a somewhat different path from most of the other recent productions and I feel is of a higher callibre.
This is a clever and original little film. Not what one would usually expect in something aimed at young children, but still perfectly suited for them - and the adults who watch along with them.
As anyone who has experience of young children should be able to see for themselves, the character of Lilo is an excellent study of the behaviour of children, especially little girls. I have viewed so much of what she does and says first hand that the character could not ring truer. And it is so very humorous and cutesy.
The story is nicely developed for the most part, with only a couple of moments that may jar adults, but certainly won't bother the kids. A basic message about family at heart, but it certainly doesn't hurt to reiterate it - it may even be needed.
In sum, a bit of entertainment for children that actually won't induce brain damage. Ye gods, who would have thought it?
Certainly five stars for kids, and maybe (maybe...) a four for the more critical adults.
15 One Of The Best Disneys By Far
Easily one of the most rip-roaring hilarious movies ever made, "Lilo & Stitch" should be stocked in the Comedy section of videostores as well as the Family section. Effortlessly mixing cute appeal, hilarity, tenderness, and All-Ages High Adventure that's actually reminiscent of "Back To The Future" and "The Rocketeer", this tale of bio-engineered alien 'experiment' Stitch, his chaotic escape to Earth, and his teaming up with fellow title character Lilo (an adorable little Hawaiian girl who instantly marks her niche as an alternately curious/perky and grumpy/stubborn little mischief-maker), her big sister and the guy pining away for the big sister, "Lilo & Stitch" stands proudly both with eternal Disney classics like "Dumbo" and "Bambi", and with the top-notch animation from Asia like "Spirited Away" and "Kiki's Delivery Service" - an alltime great!
16 Rockin' Hula
Lilo & Stitch is a cute cartoon comedey movie for the whole family. Memorable charecters, wonderful animation, and a good but sometimes unrealistic storyline. I didn't like this movie the first time I saw it, but have grown to enjoy it over time. There is some crude humor, and parts that could possibly bother a very small child. But I would still recommend this movie to anyone!
And to those of you who have seen and enjoyed this movie, I recommend the TV series on Disney Channel.
17 stitch rules!

this is such a funny movie! it can keep anyone laughing and the visuals and colors and music are amazing! most of the music is elvis so...its gonna be a great score!
anyone can enjoy this movie!
20 LACKLUSTRE, AND UNFAIR TO THE DRAWN ANIMATION MEDIUM
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.
21 I loved it!
I loved Lilo and Stitch. It was the most adorable cartoon I've seen! The story idea was hilarious, and the way it was presented was equaly funny. Stisch is an adorable mischif maker created by Jumba, an evil genious with a Russian accent. The cast of characters was great.
I also loved that the drawings in this movie were not Disny's usual perfect-figure drawings. It made the movie much warmer.
22 Animation on the cheap
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.
23 Good, but a mite overrated.
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!
24 lilo and stitch one of the best animated movies of all time
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.
25 My Favorite Disney Movie - Aloha!
Unlike the usual Disney movie, Lilo and Stitch has seemingly broken the mold, of the Princess formula. 8 year old Lilo and her pet "dog" Stitch are certainly no Prince and Princess. The whole story is charming, as well as hilarious. Like any Disney Film you find some lessons to be learned as well. The visuals of Hawaii are lush and colorful watercolors which is a refreshing change from the computer animation that is seemingly taking over the genre. I would recommend this movie across the board to anyone young and old!
26 What an incongruous bunch of ideas...
Let's see...UFOs, Hawaii, and Elvis. Oh yeah, I see the connection now. It's all so obvious!
Never have I encountered such an incongruous bunch of elements thrown together on film. Who thought this up? Let me know so I can know what not to smoke.
In addition, Lilo is little spoiled brat; her sister is an abhorrent caretaker; and the little UFO guy is more scary than loveable. No thanks.
27 The Worst Disney Movie Ever! Should be avoided by children!
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!
28 The Best There Is
'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.
29 Must-Buy For Everyone in your family for sure!
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.
30 Hula Thunk It?
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.
31 The Best Disney Movie since the Fox and the Hound
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!
32 very funny
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.
33 So Touching
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.
34 A Cute Family Movie
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!!
35 The Moose Hole - Nothing but 'Burning Love' for this Film
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.
36 Magical film, great for you and your 'ohana.'
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.
37 Leave Nemo where he is 'cause this is much better!!!
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!
38 KEPT ME IN STITCHES
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!
39 A New Classic
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!
40 One of the Two Disney Films I Like
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.
41 Good Movie
It's a pretty good movie. My three year old likes it, and that's what matters to me.
42 We Love This Movie!
My two year old, husband, and I all love "Lilo & Stitch." My daughter loved Stitch, the music, and the colorful images. My husband and I loved the humor and message of the movie.
I highly recommend "Lilo & Stitch." It's a great Disney movie and one the whole family will love.
43 Save your money
This is just a fair warning- Lilo & Stitch is going to get "special edition" treatment sometime in the next 3 years, which would make buying this now sort of a waste of money. After all, the platinum editions of Disney movies have TONS of extras. This DVD is just one disc, and is missing a few deleted scenes/animatics that should've been included.
As for the movie, Lilo & Stitch is a breath of fresh air from all the boring animated films the company's been putting out lately. The Hunchback of Notre Dame was probably the last one that actually had feeling in it. Though I did like Atlantis, every movie after Hunchback just seemed to be put out like they had nothing better to do. Lilo & Stitch starts out in space, where Stitch's creator faces trial for making him (in which Stitch is actually a dangerous weapon). Stitch escapes and makes way to Hawaii. There we meet Lilo, a little girl who comes from a broken home and is always starting fights with her friends. She finds Stitch at an animal shelter and takes him in, thinking he's a dog. But at the same time, Stitch's creator and a space officer are out to capture and bring him back.
The movie shows the importance of staying together. Lilo lives with her older sister, who's always trying to find a good job after Stitch causes her to lose her previous one as a waitress. Stitch gets yelled at, leaves, and starts to remember the story of "The Ugly Duckling" that Lilo read to him, and realizes that she really cared for him. It's a really touching movie that's put together very well.
The special features aren't anything amazing. It's a single disc DVD, so don't expect tons of extras. There's featurettes describing how they did the "style" of the movie, one with the directors, one on animating the Hula sequences, a [weird] game, interviews, a music video and the commercial spots where Stitch went into some previous animated Disney movies. The main thing I wanted was a commentary. Sometimes they're boring, but with the right people, they can be funny and very insightful. Also, there was a different ending where Stitch hijacks an airplane (with people on board and the such) and goes after Lilo in the end with it. It wasn't used as to not "offend" people that may have seen it as a negative 9-11 reference, but it should've been included. When I get a DVD, I want everything included on it, not just some things.
To sum it all up, the movie is really good and touching, but I'd wait on getting the DVD. At least until the special edition comes out sometime soon.
44 this is trash
to get straight to the point i really dislike this movie the lesseon it teaches is boring and besides, the movie isnt all that moving and uplifting.i think disney could have thought of something better.
45 Beautiful Film
I love this movie. Disney's best to date. Gorgeous animation; creative, well-developed storyline; endearing characters; wonderful soundtrack; great message; and lots and lots of fun. Very enjoyable.
46 Animation can still be good.
Perhaps South Park has rotted my brain, but I think that animated films have lost something over the years. They just don't seem to be very well done anymore. The storyline is weak, or the animation is lousy, and sometimes both. But this film has entertainment value for both children and adults alike. The lead character (Stitch) has charisma and the personality that so many of today's animated characters lack. I actually found him quite entertaining.
The DVD features include some entertaining items as well. Disney took their time to do some of these and are worth watching if you liked the film.
47 Great Disney movie
Lilo & Stitch is one of the best animated motion pictures of our time, right up there with the Lion King. I loved this movie. It had great characters, great plot, great music and great animation. Trust me this is one adventure you won't want to miss. It entertains ages from little kids to adults.
Get this one because there aren't many movies out there like it.
48 Really sweet movie!
I bought this for my son the day it was released on DVD. I'm sad to say that my little boy didn't like it. He does like his talking Stitch that he got for Christmas, though. I loved this movie. It has some really cute characters and a great message. Ohana means family and family means no one gets left behind. It's a really sweet movie!
49 an Angelic Fairy Tale
Lilo, a orphaned little girl, wishes on a falling star, "Send me an angel, the nicest one you have." The falling star turns out to be Stitches space ship coming out of hyper space and ramming into planet earth; and Stitch turns out to be her angel. Only he's a little more of a fallen angel, a genetically engineered weapon of mass destruction.
Matrix fans: Get ready to see "Morpheus" as Dr. Bubbles, the social worker.
Everybody on the planet's going to want to see this film-see what relation mosquitoes had to the roswel incident and how they saved planet Earth.
50 Fun ... but NOT for little kids!
OK, call me a bad mom for taking my 3 1/2 year old to see Disney movies. Never do we see a complete family (mom AND dad)in a Disney flick. But this time, we didn't expect such a poor reaction. Lilo is a BAD little girl. Yes, she has had a sad life and may be acting out, but a young child only sees a nasty, biting little girl who talks back and really never gets punished. Everyone feels bad for Lilo and doesn't stop her bahavior. So, ... yes it is a good movie, but wait until your child is 6 or more, unless you want to see some biting in your home.
51 STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

***News Flash****
they have delayed this set to May 2004
52 Excellent movie! Fun, funny and emotional
I watched this movie with my nephew Edrick and we both loved it.
I truly believe this is one of Disney's best animated movies!
The story was interesting, very funny and by the end, very touching.
What I liked in particular, is that all the characters in this movie were flawed and they behaved like real kids and adults. In most Disney movies, the characters are too "perfect" and "heroic" ... in this movie both Lilo and Stitch were "brats" and Lilo's sister had problems keeping her life together.
By the end of the movie, all of these characters grow in some way and become better beings.
I highly recommend this movie. It would make a great present!
53 lilo finds a friend
this film is great a new fave for me but I am a adult and for young kids dont view till older or not at all. some reviews are like its violent yes it has that plus its sci fi and rated pg not g. the story basicly lilo is a girl living with her sister looking for someone to be her friend yeah a best friend she meets stitch at the pound and adopts him . meanwhile the intergaltic space patorl are looking for him . up to this point stitch is a alien being and not doing well on earth water is his enmy and manners were never introduced to him . lilo and stitch is a good film for older children and as for it being disney even they have had violent scenes I think . thanks for reading
54 great
i love animated movies and this is almost to the top of my list but sinbad was better. no offense. this has a cute story , funny jokes , and a cute little alien named stitch.
55 Wonderful movie with funny action
Lilo & Stitch is an awesome Disney movie about an alien that gets banished to earth. That alien is named Experiment 626, and he's very powerful and intelligent. In the beginning of the movie we see this little genetic mutation gone wrong, and his creator, a fat scientist that will go earth with him.
What follows is a really nice cartoon movie about the alien, who lands with a young Hawaiian girl named Lilo. Lilo names the monster Stitch. Stitch is a destructive creature, but gradually learns how to become civil.
I really liked this movie because of the great animation, funny dialogue, and wonderful Hawaiian music. This is a great kid's movie with a nice moral behind it. Go watch it.
56 Incredible!
I was extremely reluctant to view this film, but after constant pleading my seven year old brother made me sit down with him and watch it.
I was UTTERLY amazed at how great Lilo and Stitch turned out to be! I had no idea great movies like this were even being produced by Disney any longer. It seemed for a while, that their talent and enthusiasm for making beautiful, heartfelt and amusing films had been zapped into some other dimension. But man, is Disney back, and stronger than ever!
Lilo and Stitch is a quirky, short film that you want to never end. Lilo and her older sister, Nani, who takes care of her younger sister after their parents are killed, are extremely relatable. Lilo and Nani argue, like REAL siblings, but also like real siblings, the love they share is immense and unstoppable. The love is communicated well across the screen. The troubles both girls experience, with Lilo experiencing being outcast by the snot-nosed girls she longs to befriend, and Nani trying to keep Lilo and her life together and not have the social services take Lilo away from her, make you love each girl even more.
In this middle of this mess, an insane yet sentimental - eh, what shall we call him? - robot, named Stitch lands near Nani and Lilo's home. After Stitch realizes that escape and returning to his home planet is not an option, he uses Lilo as a way to hide from police forces from his home planet that are set to kill him. Stitch, is, after all, a menace to the planet equal to the amount a damage a say, nuclear bomb could do. But Stitch grows tired of simply destroying things and finds his sentimental side, with the help of Lilo.
I fear I've already said too much. I will stop here before I ruin the sweetness of the movie for you. Anyone, regardless of age, gender or interests will love this film to pieces.
57 lilo and stich one of the greastes disney movies ever
i loved lilo and stitch didnt think i would when i show prviews oon tv but after i saw it i cnat get enought of it ive already orded stitches new move and cant wait to see it ive seen the movie about 10 times and will watch it again it has great message i would recamend it i hope that they keep making new movies because i will buy each and every last one
58 Great movie
An adorable, hilarious, charming movie. One of the best Disney has ever made. Lilo is NOT a brat, Nani is not abusive, and this movie is not a rip off of Star Wars. Anyone who thinks this movie has something bad in it really needs to get a life.
59 THIS MOVIE IS ONLY FOR KIDS........
As I watched this movie, I kept on wandering when it was going to get better, and weave that magic spell that only disney can do, but it never came. The movie draged on and on, without a real meaning. It did not seem like a disney movie at all. I only hope that they will come out with a better movie. I give it two stars because the kids liked it, although I wish I never bought it, but at least it entertained the kids, but only the kids.
60 It was cute, but...
I'll have to say that the movie was cute at some points. But the reason I give it 3 stars instead of 4 or 5 is because I don't think Disney himself would have entirely approved of the movie. For instance, the AC/DC music. Another thing is, I don't really care for the animation. I wish the animators would have stuck with the original Disney and made the people look like real people, and not cartoons. That just takes away some of its appeal for me. But that's just me!
I won't give this movie an entirely poor rating, in the opinion that it had a nice storyline and cute characters. But if you like the classic Disney animation (Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, etc.) like me, then I wouldn't necessarily recommend this movie to you. I thought it was okay, but in my opinion I think it could have been better.
61 A cute and funny movie
My kids loved it. Its all of the above. Cute, funny, sad and interesting. They got a kick out of stitch and his crazy antics..
62 PURE DISNEY MAGIC AT IT'S BEST.
Disney triumps with Lilo and Stitch, a very adorable and enduring tale of this little creature from out of space. Watching this movie almost made me wish that Stitch was real so I could cuddle him.
I have seen this movie probably 30 times and never tire of seeing it again. Keep up the good work Disney. I hope that the next Stitch movie is as good as this one.
63 Wow!
Definitely the best Disney movie I've seen in ages. I've been sorely disappointed in Disney films for awhile, but not any longer! This film is fun and had me rolling with laughter, but it has a lot of strong family values as well. It's been awhile since Disney was able to move me so much with an animated film, I'm so happy to see they still have the magic. :)
64 One of Disney's Greatest
This movie is one of Disney's most perfectly realized fully animated features, right up there with "Lady and the Tramp" and "Toy Story 2". And I will go so far as to say that it is Disney's ALL-TIME FUNNIEST. The humor is slick, hip, and in the groove in a way that Disney has never before accomplished. From the magnificent side-splitting opening sequence right to the sly closing lines, the dialogue and characterizations are positively admirable. This is an amazing step away from Disney's usual style of humor (which some may find objectionable, but that's their loss).
Comparisons to "Iron Giant" are inevitable. I feel that "Lilo and Stitch" wins the humor category, whereas "Iron Giant" wins the heart-tugging category. "Iron Giant" paints an excellent satirical portrait of the sci-fi attitudes of the 50's, whereas "Lilo and Stich" pokes great fun at our current sci-fi psychology.
This movie is very timely, and possibly timeless. It is highly accessible yet intelligent, simple in construction yet sympathetic, compassionate, and blithely observant, with only the slightest acceptible trace of reverence.
As for the DVD, it's pretty weak on the special features, but at least they didn't bloat it into a 2-disc set, a practice which I greatly loathe.
65 Gives aliens a new prospective
This movie is one of my favorite disney movies. I laugh myself silly everytime I watch it. Not only is it funny but also shows the importance of family. The story line is a realistic situation. It shows that sometimes outsiders have the best ideas and can become your best friend. Also has a great soundtrack.
66 Sleeper Hit, Very Unique, Creative, Realistic Disney Project
First off, i'd like to dismiss all the people on here who worry about there kids, yes lilo does jump and hit a girl, but the girl disrespected her, there is a little bit of violence, but this is a PG film, it isn't G "Thank God" the violence is al taken with a grain of salt, I for one am glad it isn't PC , Disney everything is magic, because the real world is not magic, it is real, yes lilo could be taking from the Department of Child Services, without giving away to much she has lost her parents, her sister takes care of her, and no one understands her, she doesn't clique with anybody, she is a very talented, very intresting young girl, but no one cares, so yes, she's a little bitter, realistic, who hassn't dealt with that? there is a great story arc, about "The Ugly Duckling" This is without a doubt, a movie about finding yourself, about family, and about alienation(lol.)
pun intended. I took this as a joke at first, never rented it, never bought it, someone was right when they said dont judge a book by it's cover, a girlfriend lent it to me, by the way I am 24 Years old, I LOVE animation, and the colors, the atmosphere, the enviroments, the music, the hawaii setting, the realism, the family and personal messages, this movie is a GEM, this'll be rare someday, because alot of..i'd like to call RIDICOLOUS parents, think there kids should nevr see anything aside from smiles, lollipops, and talking horses..I for one HATED spirit..this film is for anyone, kids, adults, teens, young adults, I challange you to rent this movie, with an open mind, and get sucked into the story it is NOT a comedy, it is a CREATIVE DISNEY DRAMA, there is humor yes, but it's all very realistic, although there is no proof of aliens, there is also no proof of god, or ghosts, people fear that which they do not understand, and fear causes anger, anger causes hate, and hate leads to the dark side ;) hah, always wanted to use that..i'll be honest, i'm not a very large fan of regular films, I love animation, the way it shows emotion, and enviroments, it's amazing, Spirited away, is godlike, as is miyazaki, I guarantee he would love this film, CUDOS to Disney, for taking risks, the voice work is exceptional, and chihiro from spirited away, is the voice of LiLo, Truly, I cannot recomend this Masterpiece of Animation, Enough, This is one of my top favorite "FILMS" of all time, forget about it's animated..This is beautifull animation, Buy this movie, and enjoy it, and if you feel it is a lil, harsh, remember life is to, and your kids should learn that, that's the best lesson in life, reality.
67 Lilo and Stitch DVD
One of my favorite movies. Having spent several years in Hawaii, they were able to capture that which makes Hawaii special. The songs written for the movie and the desire to keep the movie "true" to the Hawaiian way of life provides the great background.
The movie itself is destined to become a classic. I can watch it weekly and it is still enjoyable. The additional fact that they didn't try to make all the characters into "barbie dolls" is an added feature I find refreshing.
If you get the DVD, take the time to review the added features. Learn about the Islands (if you have never been there) and watch the children who perform "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" and the making of the movie. Quite entertaining, also.
68 People PUHLEEASE!
This movie is about the reltionships of a family in chaos. Poor Lilo and Nani lost their parents and Nani is trying to be a mother to her little sister.
I'm reading folks here complain about how cruel they are to each other...just think people! Those two girls are stil grieving and trying to stay together. And for goodness sakes how many families with siblings do you know that don't have moments in their life when they fight, hurl insults etc....
So many people don't seem to understand the premise of this film is family, not happy, all sugar and smiles family, but real heart on your sleeve surving through tradgedy family.
Lilo is violent and fights with the other kids because of her pain and honestly the kids were picking on her first.
She and Stitch teach each other to get past violence and to become whole again, Lilo in getting past her and Nani's grief and Stitch in his learning how to love.
Get real folks, this film was BRILLIANT! I wish Disney would stop trying to make a quick buck with it cheap and stupid sequals and produce more films like this, that deal with the true heart and feeling of folks.
Plus I'm tired of the CGI vs. hand drawn animation debate, I love both, you can't get the beauty of Sleeping Beauty, Lilo & Stitch with CGI, but you can get the delightful Toy Story films and Monsters, Inc. so lets keep both OK?
69 Really original sci-fi stuff
Everyone's seen the movie by now, I'm sure, so you all know it's the typical touching Disney flick. I really liked the aliens, and I'm sure the animators had fun doing this movie.
The best part of the DVD is the extra scenes shown in penciled animation. Very cool! This alone is worth the price of the DVD.
70 funny charming heart-warming
Based on the trailers I was not looking forward to this film, but it won me over quickly, and I watched the whole thing with pleasure. Lilo is a lonely little girl living with her older sister who is broke, looking for work, and trying to be a mother to her troubled, sad little sister. Stitch is an illegally created alien who has escaped to Earth and been placed in a Hawaiian dog kennel. Upon meeting, the two are immediately inseparable, to hilarious effect. The writing is very funny throughout. There are good guys, bad guys who turn out to be good guys, really bad guys, and Stitch -- the character who changes the most ("Are you sure he's a dog!?") through the course of the film. And there's a fair amount of Elvis. What's not to love here?
DVD extras are excellent. There are well-done featurettes about the production (including storyboarding, voice sessions and music), animation, Hawaii, the hula, and Stitch's persistent attempts to get on the big screen; a trivia game; 3 music videos; 4 trailers; 3 deleted scenes; and 9 promotional trailers for other films.
The film can be heard in English, French or Spanish, and subtitles are available in English.
Very nice dvd package indeed, and a fine funny family film.
71 Can't Help Falling In Love
Whoever buys this DVD to see the A*Teens Music Video "I Can't Help Falling in Love With You" will be very disappointed. They don't know how to show the original version of the music video because they only showed bits and pieces of it and that's unfair to everybody who buys the DVD so they can see the music video. I saw the original music video and I thought I was really getting something by adding this to my collection of A*Teens music videos. But no! I get ripped off instead!
72 Feel Good Movie
This was one of the best movies that I have seen in a long time. It is not just a kiddie movie, this movie allows you to sit back and enjoy yourself for about an hour and a half. The story starts out with Stitch (code name 626) being exiled from his home planet and crash landing on the planet Earth. From there, it is a wild chase as two aliens try to track Stitch down so they can get their job back. The voices are done perfectly, Ving Rhames does a great job of his "Social Worker" character. Lilo plays her little girl role to the T, and Nadi (her sister) tries her hardest to stay one step ahead of the "stupidhead" social worker
I laughed a lot during this movie, it is one you can watch over and over again with or without kids. Pick this up and add to your collection, you will not be dissappointed
73 GREAT CHARACTERS, [BAD] ENDING
THE MOST RECENT DISNEY MOVIES (I.E.,TARZAN,ATLANTIS,ETC....)
ARE GOOD,BUT THEY HAVE THEIR FLAWS. TARZAN WAS BORING,
MONSTERS INC WAS WAAAAYY TO ADDICTIVE,
NEMO WAS GOOD BUT KEPT GOING ON AND ON AND ON AND ON,
I WATCHED PIGLET'S BIG MOVIE ...
YES,LILO AND STITCH HAS IT'S FLAWS TOO,BUT IT'S
JUST THE DUMB ENDING...
THAT WAS THE ONLY THING BESIDES THE RATING (IT'S KID FRIENDLY
AND THEY RATED IT PG)THAT BUMMED ME OUT.
WHY ONLY 4 STARS? WELL,IT'S MORE CONCERNED WITH THE DVD
CONTENT.I WAS EXPECTING A COMMENTARY,A DVD-ROM GAME,
A STILL GALLERY,AN HBO FIRST LOOK SPECIAL,AND THE LIKE.
HARDLY ANY OF THIS IS ON THERE.
SURE THERE'S A GAME, BUT IT'S JUST A GUSSIED-UP TRIVA GAME.
ONE THING DISNEY:THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE STUFF ON THIS DVD!
HAD THERE BEEN MORE STUFF ON THE DVD,I WOULD HAVE GIVEN
IT MORE STARS.
74 One of the best recent Disney films...
I think this movie was pretty understated. It wasn't your typical Disney film of recent years with a huge budget and amazing computer colored scenes of sky fights or monsters or heroes or anything. It was a way more subtle story, with a way more appropriate pastel palette. In fact a lot of the backgrounds were done in watercolor, as opposed to more traditional animation backgrounds, giving the film a bit of a rough feel. But this rough feel, actually more of a homegrown comfortable feel compliments the sweet story perfectly. And the thing I like the best, despite the bad reviews? Stitch isn't the typical perfect cute Disney animal, and Lilo isn't the typical perfect beautiful angel of a Disney heroine. But that's what makes the story so real and endearing. My boyfriend and I both loved this.
75 Disney's Best
We open in space,On trial is the creator of Experiment626.Experiment 626 steals a spacecraft and lands on earth.He gives up his aggresine nature and learns to love.He befriends Lilo,a little Hawaiian girl,I love this movie because it's funny,poignant.and touching all at the same time.Stich learns what its like to be part of a family-the speech he makes at the end will bring tears to your eyes.If you're looking for a great family film,LOOK NO FURTHER!
76 Now THAT's Entertainment!
This is a great movie for the whole family to watch over and over again.
The emotions are put over so powerfully that you laugh and cry no matter how many times you watch it. "Family means no one gets left behind"
Definitely one of Disney's best in recent history
77 Stitch is the bomb
Lilo and Stitch is a great, great movie. It harkens back to a simpler storyline about family, and suprisingly for a Disney movie, it's about a dysfunctional family. An older sister tries, with great dismay, to raise her little sister (Lilo) after their parents die in a car accident. It proves extremely difficult with the young girls outlandish behavior and rebelious attitude. She's not a bad kid, but it's obvious she is acting this way because she isn't sure how to handle her parents death. Her sister tries everything from rewards to tough love. Nothing works and the local family services agent, Cobra Bubbles (a great character voiced by Ving Rhames) threatens to take her away. Enter Stitch, a geneticlly engineered exterrestrial who, after wreaking great havoc, finds behavior beyond his genetic programming. He discovers he wants what Lilo wants; a family, even if its broken. Stitch's chaotic/intelligent/detructive and benign behavior leads to several funny moments and lends to a character development that is unexpected from something so hilariously vicious. This movie is highly recommended. It's great fun, and it will tug at the emotions in a good way.
78 Thank you Disney
Disney has had a slump since lion king. Emperors was good but Lilo and Stitch was amazing. For all you people who gavce it 1 star reviews maybe you should loosen up and come into the 21st century. I'm not a sadistic kid or anything. I'm a devoted christian that leads a highschool youth group. Lilo and stitch had some silly points and maybe some slightly mean one but no ones perfect. I'm sure you one star people aren't by any means. Another thing for you "Disney's Family Values people". LIFE ISN'T ALL HAPPY!!! Stop whining. It had no plot fine... but look at things like monty python. It's an awesome movie and it couldn't have less plot. Or even that Spongebob Squarepants show... I mean I hate it but kids love it or even Veggietales. Not everything has to have a plot. Also you people who were like "I can't believe other people liked it", who are you to judge?! People have their own opinions. If your close minded then fine Lilo and Stitch isn't for you but I loved it and I thought using the Elvis theme was excellent. If I could, I'd tell you all this in person too. Also this movie is nowhere near PG-13. There is no blood, no bad words, no bad themes. Also for those of you who called Nani abusive she's not. She's just an older sister and that's how they show affection. Again Lilo and Stitch is a great movie about a cute alien and a even cuter little girl. They meet, have fun, and are completely compatible. What more do you need? =0) Have a nice day!
79 Disney does Gaugin--and it works
This is one of my favorite movies of the past several years. I can't recall laughing so hard in a theater as I did during this picture, as the plot twists and imaginative humor had me captivated from start to finish.
I know there are certain expectations when a movie has the Disney name behind it--Bambi, Snow White, Pinocchio. But look at the recent trend--Lion King has some irreverent, even self-mocking moments, and The Emperor's New Groove is very different than traditional Disney family movies. So L & S goes a little further, with a combo sci-fi/Hawaii/non-traditional family theme.
Regarding the animation, I immediately saw the connection with the colors and impressions of Hawaii and Polynesia as portrayed by Gaugin and other artists. I'm not saying the movie was trying to be artsy, but as a yearly vacation-goer I've always noticed the distinctive, vivid colors of Hawaii, and the movie definitely captured those images. So critics of the animation are probably expecting something like previous Disney efforts. But visit Kauai's Hanalei Bay which I think was the inspiration for this movie and you'll see what the filmmakers were shooting for.
The potential knock on this movie is the situation with Lilo's family, where she's about ready to fall into care of the state for various reasons. This is definitely not funny and it's questionable material for a family comedy. In the end, however, a family is formed, albeit with a few aliens and Cobra Bubbles as part of it, which is a defense for non-traditional families. My adopted daughter often feels different and an outsider, so I definitely could relate to Lilo's perspective on the world.
Finally, I haven't read many reviews that commented on the music. The songs in this movie are outstanding and also help capture the feeling of the islands. It was totally reminiscent of local Hawaiians surfing and swimming in the ocean as if it's a part of them, which it probably is.
So between the far-out humor, great scenes and music of Hawaii, and relating to Lilo's character, I'd have to say this is a 5-star movie all the way.
80 One of the Better Animations
While this is not a masterpiece, there are many things to like about this movie. Here are some of them.
1. It features a great performance by Daveigh Chase. (Incidently, she was the actress that played the creepy little girl in "The Ring", and she also voiced the girl in "Spirited Away".)
2. It has a simple and charming story, and there are some very funny moments, like the segment concerning San Francisco.
3. Comforting character and background designs. As explained in the extra section of the DVD, the animators emphasized roundness in this animation. The result is unusual but visually very comforting.
4. Beautiful Hula dance sequences. Animation made this dance even more beautiful than live actions.
81 Disney's BEST since the LION KING!!
When I began to see the trailers for this movie, I thought it looked extremely dumb. But when I went to see it in the theaters, I was Amazed and completely thrilled with it. It is one of the best cartoon movies I have seen in my life! It is also very emotionally touching, considering I cried atleast half the movie when I saw it for the first time! The characters are so adorable, especially Lilo and Stitch, mainly because of the creative drawing techniques used for this film. The story is very strong, heart-warming, and relative. It is a must-see, no matter what your age is! It has the laughs, the action, and the emotions, all in one happy little bundle of joy called LILO & STITCH! I couldn't wait to buy it when it came out on DVD & VHS so hopefully you'll not wait a moment longer to buy it yourself. Enjoy!
82 Poor plotting, violence overshadow cute bits and good music
Finally Disney breaks out of its tiring animation rut with a story about a destructive alien adopted by a troubled orphan girl on Hawaii. No wicked uncle, no comic sidekick, and a refreshing break from the tried-and-true animation style that worked for Disney through the '90s but has fallen flat in recent years. Kudos also goes to the studio for the Elvis soundtrack and the addition of a couple fantastic songs by Hawaiian peformer Mark Keali'i Ho'Omalu. Sure beats another tired Phil Collins or Elton John hatchet job.
Unfortunately, these points are overshadowed by a heavyhanded story that crams the square peg of an ugly duckling fable into the round hole of a kid trying to find her place in the world. Apart from Lilo (Daveigh Chase) and the social worker (Ving Rhames), the voices are mediocre. While Dreamworks gets top talent like Steve Martin and Rosie Perez to do *secondary* roles in their animated movies, Disney largely settles for second-tier actors in this one. One alien mad scientist speaks with a Russian accent. Why? I'm not sure.
The movie is also violent, and I agree with one reviewer here that the characters are often just mean to other. I am not a prude by any means, but I was a tad alarmed at what they allowed in this film. In one scene, the little girl Lilo gets in a fight in which she pounces on another girl and very graphically punches her in the face. Shortly thereafter she gets in a screaming match with her older sister in which they hurl insults at each other. While this is hardly R-rated or even PG-13 material, it was enough to give me pause about the effect on my 18-month-old son.
Another gripe is the near-total failure to make use of the Hawaii setting, certainly one of the most gorgeous locations an animator could ask for. Apart from one surf scene and a chase involving space ships at the end, little is seen of the islands. Contrast this Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (another Dreamworks film, incidentally), which made liberal use of its wild west setting to show canyons, fields, mountain ranges, rivers, etc.
That's what I think. But what about my 18-month old son? He actually loves it, and has been his preferred viewing for more than a month now! He walks around saying "Aliens!", and loves it when we recite snippets of dialogue or hum the music. It does have enough action and color to keep his interest even now. But I'm still keeping an eye on him during those fighting and yelling parts...
83 This was a good movie
I like this because I like the part when music came out of stitch's mouth.I like when Lilo,Stitch and lilo's sister was surfing on a wave.I don't like when Lilo was yelling at Stitch.I felt sorry when lilo and her sister lost their parents. I don't like when the alien were attacking Lilo and Stitch.At the end of the movie i like when they build a new home because their old house burned down.This was a terrific movie overall!
84 This movie rules! Disney's BEST one yet!
I couldn't wait to see this movie when it was released in the movies. I got it on dvd for x-mas. It's a great movie that mixes comedy and sci-fi action all in one cool children's film. It teaches about family and friendship even if you come from two different worlds. The scenes are really beautiful and the plot is very honest. It's good clean fun for the whole Ohana (in the movie, they say it means family in Hawiian). What I loved the most about it is that it's an ACTION movie for kids like the Powerpuff Girls movie is. I LOVE action movies, alot!
This is Disney's best movie yet. If you hadn't seen it, buy this movie. You just won't let it go.
P.S. If you decide that you like this movie, before the movie begins on this dvd, they put a preview at there WILL be a second one coming to dvd summer 2003.
85 "Ohana" Means Great Family Entertainment!
First of all, all of the critics who let their children, say kids who are seven and under, their parents should have read the lable on the video case: it says PG. So that was your OWN mistake for letting a three year old watch a violent movie (so they say).
For all those perfectly content with "Lilo and Stitch", the movie itself isn't quite as violent as some people say. Yes, there are lasers and "guns", but those parts don't come around too often. Another thing, people have been complaining about Lilo punching, kicking, biting, and saying "stupid". Like I said, the movie is PG. Really, Lilo and Stitch is a cute, hilarious, harmless, family movie. Anyway, who knows if your child was influenced by the movie? What if it's you who's the bad influence? Besides, don't you teach them that that is only a movie and you shouldn't act like that in real life?
To all those critics who tell people, "if you like this movie, you need to go to a mental institution", I wouldn't be talking. Yeah, you have a right to your own opinion, but we're also entitled to ours. So lay off the mental jokes. Here are some character bios and stats:
Stitch: Our main alien! He was created by the evil genius, Jumbaa. He landed on planet Earth and befriended a little girl in need of friends.
Lilo: Sweet little Lilo befriends the "abomination" and teaches Stitch the meaning of love and family.
Nani: Lilo's older sister/guardian. She has a rough time finding a decent job, but somehow manages to get through. Totally nice person.
I highly recommend this movie for all Stitch lovers! =)
86 That cute little Hawaiian movie...
Disney hit me with this one!
The story begins as Stitch, an alien experiment, escapes from his planet. Ending up in Hawaii, he befriends a little girl named Lilo, who thinks he is a harmless dog. Lilo's sister Nani, who is her guardian since her parents died, is terrified and trying to find a job. Aliens from his home planet are looking for Stitch and he hides as best as he can. Along the way, Stitch, Lilo, and Nani learn the importance of Ohana. Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind...or forgotten. Lilo and Stitch will capture your heart, make you cry and make you laugh.
If you haven't seen it--go buy it and watch it NOW!!!
87 a sleeper hit
I write the title "A Sleeper Hit" because that's what I believe the movie to be. I admittedly did not want to see this movie when I saw the trailers in the theatres. The movie just seemed too unconventional for Disney for me to consider. But I []decided to watch it and was really glad I did. This movie was a lot of fun and I thought that fun was missing from a lot of movies these days. (I will spare the plot recap because every other review includes one.) I thought that it was a fresh breath of air that I've needed since there were very few good movies that came out that summer. I would highly recommend this movie and if not as a purchase, as least consider a rental.
On the level of story development, I believe it was well done. Some have said rather harsh statements regarding the characters and story, but for some reason or another they may have not connected to the movie like I have. I am not an orphan and do not live in a broken home, but I don't think you need this history to feel the emotion and understand the characters. And while many have criticized the film for being a little violent, remember it was rated as PG. That should have given you some indication of how the movie would be. Just lay back and try to not be too critical because you could just be missing out on a great heart-felt and funny film.
Surprisingly, I haven't read anyone talk about the extra DVD features. I think they are excellent. They give so much insight to the process of making the film that even if you do not like the movie, you may appreciate it more.
Overall, this movie was a blast and well worth it. I only tend to buy DVDs that I would watch over and over again and this is definitely one of them.
88 This was the cutest movie!
I saw this movie four times in the movie theatre and pre - ordered it from the Disney Store a month before it came out I was so excited. I have collected tons of Stitch merchandise, he is so cute! The movie doesn't quite have the same "Disney magic" as a reviewer put it, and I agree, but it is definitely a cute movie and good for everyone. My finace hates Disney with a passion, and he absolutely adores this movie, if that means anything. I highly recommend this movie to anyone and everyone.
89 Rolling in Stitches
There are very few movies on which I am actually willing to spend money, and before this movie, I could easily have crossed Disney off the list without a thought. "Lilo and Stitch" is a wonderful story in which the main conflict has very little to do with the climactic battle/chase scene (which all kids movies seem to require these days), but rather with the definition and the bonds of family. It's nice to have a family movie with redemption and warm fuzzies without a mother, a father and two point three kids at the end so you know everything is OK. To misquote the movie: "This is my family. It may be a little broken..."
Additionally, the art is phenomenal. Finally, a movie in which the women do not resemble Barbie Dolls or super-skeletons... er supermodels.
Of course, my favorite line from the movie turns out to be in the deleted scenes section. "I'm worth twenty rabbits?" :-) A movie that can bring tears to my eyes even on the third viewing is a rare gem. I consider this movie to be the same calibur as "Fight Club" and "Casablanca," although not neccessarily for the same audience.
90 I love this movie!!!!
It's hard to write anything new or informative when 300+ other reviews have been written. I did want to say that most of the negative reviews of this movie mention violence or rudeness of characters. People forget that Disney is not only making movies for 3-7 years old kids. They also have to attract teenagers and adults. Great movie, my neice and newphew both love it and I highly recommend it to those whose pants aren't on too tight.
91 good movie, but not for little kids
I LOVED this movie. The story line was a little out there for Disney, but they did a good job with it.
The songs were great.
I wouldn't let little kids watch it though. There's a little too much violence in it.
92 Lilo and Travelin Tyke
I was not so impressed with this video. Yes the animation is great, but the story line is a little dull and both of my children had a very hard time keeping their interests up ...
93 Hilarious
Funny, Funny, Funny and very touching. A wonderful movie with a wonderful message. Everyone can identify with the message in this one.
94 THE BEST MOVIE EVER!!!
Lilo and Stitch is the best movie I had ever seen!!! It's about a girl whose love can transform even a little monster into a wonderful angel. This film has everything you need for a great movie, humor(and A LOT of it), an evil scientist, aliens, a "special case" social worker, dancing, surfing, racing, friendship&love. And besides it's all happening in the beautiful Hawaii! A marvelous film for both, adults and kids.
95 OK
Not nearly as great as expected.. I'm sure it's great for kids, but this is an over 30 reviewer...Yes, technically proficient, but story is nothing special... Get "Spirited Away" instead
