Advantages: Incredible, passionate performances,a revelation Disadvantages: too many out-takes, fluffs etc

the use of a View Master toy by the alien Pleakley when trying to show information about human culture
Elvis' pink jeep from Blue Hawaii actually appears onscreen in one scene
Herbie the Love Bug is the vehicle driven by Stitch in one scene when he attacks Jumba with a car
the dogs in the pound are the same dogs in the pound as on Lady and the Tramp
and there are several figures of Mickey Mouse inserted in various scenes
The two disc special edition not only has a very nice digital transfer of the original film and soundtrack, but several extras:
Disney Hawaii The Islands Of Aloha Feature
This is a clickable map that takes you on a documentary about the state. They seem to have tried to make this kid...
