It's been several years since Stitch (Chris Sanders), the result of eccentric Dr. Jookiba's (David Ogden Stiers) "Experiment 626," landed on Earth and befriended a girl, Lilo (Daveigh Chase). Now Stitch, Lilo and the doctor live in Hawaii with Lilo's sister, Nani (Tia Carrere). But their lives are turned upside down by the arrival of Capt. Gantu (Kevin Michael Richardson), who kidnaps Jookiba to find out the location of his other 625 experiments. It's up to Lilo and Stitch to save Jookiba.

The movie's geared-solely-towards-kids approach is evident in virtually all of its attributes...

Rated: 1/4

Antagony & Ecstasy

Disney had to call it something, and "Pilot Episode for an Upcoming TV Series That We're Shamelessly Going to Make You Pay for Separately" is a lot of words for a DVD spine.

Rated: 5/10

Apollo Guide

Less substantial than the original, but still quality family entertainment that's light-years ahead of most of its competition for the eyes and hearts of pint-sized viewers.

Rated: 73/100

Film Freak Central

The film's brevity is due to sacrifices in character, not plot, and that's a shame, since it wasn't exactly the chaos of Lilo & Stitch's narrative that made it so ultimately charming

Rated: 2/4

It is missing a great deal of the original movie's heart... This one's more sitcom-y, less endearing, a little bland.

Rated: 2/5

2 words: It's Ok but I have a slight problem I mean I think its a good pilot for the show but as a Sequel Ehh it does its job but you need a Masters degree in Lilo and Stitch-ology to understand this: Lilo and stitch was the first movie everyone know but then There is Stitch! The Movie and it takes place After the events of Lilo and Stitch 2: stitch Has a Glitch meaning its like Lilo and stitch 3? then the show which aired from 2003-2006 and then in 2005 Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Has a glitch it takes place after the events of the 2002 movie but before the events of Stitch! the movie so its like Lilo and Stitch 2.5?

I thought this film was a much better sequel than “Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch has a Glitch.” It had a stronger story about Stitch struggling to fit in and wanting to belong with others like him, similar to Tarzan. I loved seeing Captain Gantu return and he even had lots of fun, humorous moments. Dr. Hämsterviel was a hilarious and entertaining villain. The animation quality was noticeably cheaper than the original feature film, and it was intended to serve as the pilot for “Lilo & Stitch: the Series.” Overall, there was a good amount of humor, action, and heart packed into the very short runtime. It’s enough to keep younger kids entertained.

I wouldn't call this a "Movie" since this is like a extended 1 hour pilot for Lilo & Stitch The Series, but I did enjoy it, I like how we met more characters like the other 625 Experiments and Dr Hamsterviel, the animation was a bit off and different despite having a budget of a tv show but it still manages to capture the emotion.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
