A tale of a young girl's close 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 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 ability to care for someone else.

It's a bright, engaging bauble with half a dozen Elvis Presley songs for Mom and Dad, and just enough sass -- Stitch sticks his tongue into his nose and eats his snot -- to keep the tweeners giggling.

If Ohana means family, than Lilo and Stitch leave you feeling like they are part of your Ohana.

I had never seen this before and really enjoyed this. Stitch is out of his mind but I liked that there were layers to his character and real growth shown.

Rated: 4/5

I really love this movie; between the great titular characters, the dark slightly unhinged humor, and amazing animation...this is a Disney classic!
