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.

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.

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

Neither my Hawaii-born husband nor I were fans of this film. We both weren't charmed by the animation templates for the people and I sensed a whiff of Gauguin in the air.

Ce serait mentir de dire que Stitch n'est pas mon personnage Disney préféré ! Je l'adore ! J'avoue qu'après avoir vu le live-action, je le préfère presque à l'original.

This was an unexpected 5 stars. I watched the movie when I was really young and barely remember anything from it, so going back to it now was really intresting. The story was flawless with zero plot holes. Animation was charming and the colours were perfect to keep you clocked in to the movie. Every scene was carefully curated and attention grabbing with small details that make it all the better. Easily one of the best Disney movies of all time. One of its last masterpieces.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
