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.

Nell Minow Common Sense Media Cute story, great characters, fabulous soundtrack. Rated: 4/5 Dec 25, 2010 Full Review Ted Shen Chicago Reader Smart, poignant, and utterly beguiling. Nov 16, 2009 Full Review Richard Corliss TIME Magazine 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. Sep 2, 2008 Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn There is no doubt that Lilo & Stitch is a masterpiece. With some of the best character work ever seen in animation, a fantastic cast, and a real emotional core, the film is everything one could want in a film. Jan 23, 2023 Full Review Rebecca Long Inverse Beneath its absurdity, Lilo & Stitch captures what it feels like to yearn for belonging and to struggle to be understood. Rated: A Jul 29, 2022 Full Review Cory Woodroof 615 Film One of the most insanely creative things Disney has ever put out, hand-stitched with so much love that it’s nearly bursting at the seams.

Michael W This animated classic was great. Chris Sanders, Daveigh Chase, Tia Carrere, Ving Rhames, Jason Scott Lee, David Ogden Stiers, Kevin Michael Richardson, and the rest of the cast did a great job on this movie. The story of the movie was entertaining and humorous. It's about finding a family and protecting them from aliens. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a great movie for an entire family. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Michael V There's one in every family. Lilo & Stitch is a 2002 American animated science fiction comedy-drama film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It was written and directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois (in their feature directorial debuts) 🌺 Not bad, but not my favourite either 😐 Meh, it passed the time. Just. 😐 👍🏼👎🏼 As Stitch, a runaway genetic experiment from a faraway planet, wreaks havoc on the Hawaiian Islands, he becomes the mischievous adopted alien "puppy" of an independent little girl named Lilo and learns about loyalty, friendship, and ʻohana, the Hawaiian tradition of family. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Thomasfilms Productions R One of Disney’s most unique movies they have released Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Lucas E O Stitch e um bichinho fofo e adorável , filme bem bom pra assistir . Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Susan D One of Disney's best characters. Love stitch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review Adrian H A brilliant and seemingly simple and light story. In fact, it starts out extremely sad and only at the end does everything fall into place. And the finale is great. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
