Amy Hill, Chris Sanders, Daveigh Chase

A tale of a young girl's encounter with the galaxy's most wanted extraterrestrial. Lilo is a lonely Hawaiian girl who adopts a small ugly 'dog,' whom she names Stitch. Stitch would be the perfect pet ...( read more  read more... )if he weren't in reality a genetic experiment who has escaped from an alien planet and crash-landed on earth. Through her love, faith and unwavering belief in "ohana" (the Hawaiian concept of family), Lilo helps unlock Stitch's heart and gives him the one thing he was never designed to have--the ability to care for someone else.

    Nice Movie.

    This was very original, the character of Experiment 626/Stitch, who is deceptively strong, fast, intelligent, destructive and oh yeah indestructible, was lol hilarious! And who would make a better and eventual partner in crime but an alienated little Hawaiian girl with a preety u...( read more)nique and fiesty spirit of her own...2 thumbs way up!

    I like the quote: Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

    All Elvis Presley's songs are so nice that it matches the Hawaiian's style.

    Rated 3.5 stars by Roger Ebert.

    Nominated for Oscar Best Animated Feature.

    imdb.com trivias:

    Disney promoted t...( read more)his movie with a series of trailers inserting Stitch into some of its "classic" titles. Examples: - The Little Mermaid (1989): Stitch surfs a wave that crashes down on Ariel. - Beauty and the Beast (1991): Stitch causes the chandelier to fall during the ballroom scene, nearly smashing Belle and the Beast - Aladdin (1992): Stitch steals Princess Jasmine from Aladdin during the "A Whole New World" magic carpet ride. - The Lion King (1994): Stitch takes Simba's place on Pride Rock during the "Circle of Life" opening.

    # The character of Cobra Bubbles greatly resembles the gangster from Pulp Fiction (1994), Marcellus Wallace (both played by Ving Rhames). He even has the same earring.

    # Many of the aliens are inspired by Disney characters, including Piglet and Tigger from Winnie the Pooh.

    The original version of the flying chase scene at the end of the film involved Stitch and Jumba hijacking an airplane and chasing Gantu's spaceship through Honolulu, crashing into buildings. The sequence was already animated and completed, but the whole chase was cut following the terrorist attacks on the USA of 11 September 2001. The chase had to be re-written and drawn again (this time with spaceships flying through mountains and less populated vegetation), and the second version of the chase was is what is seen in the theatrical version.

    Like the live-action monster movie that appears briefly in the movie, photographs of Elvis Presley are "real" pictures and not animated drawings.

Critic Reviews

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

A tiresome feature that could be made into a wonderful 20-minute film. full review

June 21, 2002
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

A picture that extols the virtues of comradeship and community in a spunky, spirited fashion. full review

June 21, 2002
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

A new variation on the Disney animated flick, one that reflects less a corporate formula than a particular animator's iconoclastic taste. full review

June 21, 2002
Claudia Puig, USA Today

Witty, touching and well paced. full review

June 21, 2002
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

An example of quiet, confident craftsmanship that tells a sweet, charming tale of intergalactic friendship. full review

June 21, 2002
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

It's one of the most charming feature-length cartoons of recent years -- funny, sassy, startling, original and with six songs by Elvis. full review

    this film is a bit funny, a bit cool, and a bit sad, the sad part is when Mertle refused to be Lilo's friend.
