I know I said I wanted Gizmo in my "Gremlins" review, but here's one character I can't not want!!! And that's Stitch


I want Stitch

If you don't think Stitch is adorable then you are truly deranged. He is the most adorable character ever.

An extra-terrestrial mad scientist named Dr. Jumba Jookiba (David Ogden Stiers) is put on trial by a galactic governing body, headed by a Grand Councilwoman, for creating illegal genetic experiments. The council is showed the creature, Experiment 626. Jumba tells the council that 626 is bullet proof, fire proof, extremely intelligent, can see in the dark and possesses super strength but his only instinct is to destroy. 626 is banished to exile on a desert asteroid. However, he escapes and zooms away in a police cruiser.

His pod crashes onto Earth. On the run, he passes himself off as a dog on Earth. (He starts off with three pairs of limbs, antennae, and things on his back that resemble feathers, but hides two of the pairs of limbs, antennae, and feathers.) He finds his way to a little girl named Lilo Pelekai who is living with her 21-year-old sister Nani, as their parents have recently died in a car accident. ("It was raining, and they went for a drive, and...") Lilo is lonely and a bit of an outcast. Her friends don't seem to include her in their gang, and in rage she punches one of them. A social worker named Cobra Bubbles is monitoring Nani's progress, as he is concerned that her parenting techniques do not meet the standards required to raise a child and is considering putting Lilo into foster care. Nani is fearful of this, as Lilo is the only family she has left, and vice versa. Lilo doesn't help, as she doesn't really know what may happen.

To try to help, Nani takes Lilo to an animal shelter, so she can adopt a dog, and she finds 626. He had been running from Jumba - who had arrived soon after him. She thinks it is a dog - whom she names "Stitch." She identifies with Stitch's strong antisocial tendencies and the two form a bond immediately. Unfortunately, his violent behaviour costs Nani her job. Stitch initially attempts to escape the island but finds that it is impossible because he is afraid of the water, and cannot swim since his body is too dense. Stitch resigns himself to stay with Lilo when he spots that he is being watched by Jumba and Galactic Agent Pleakley, who have been assigned to recapture Stitch without being detected by humans in exchange for Jumba's freedom. Pleakley is both a guide and Jumba's supervisor, to ensure Jumba does not escape should he fail to recapture Stitch. Lilo notes Stitch's violent tendencies and attempts to teach him to relax, holding up her favourite musician Elvis Presley as a model example of behaviour.

Can Lilo change him into an adorable, loving character? Or will he remain as an adorable, hatred character? Will Lilo be able to keep Stitch? Stitch is the only friend she has as she's incredibly lonely

The bonus features are (as you know I do not watch them):
-'Suspicious Minds' Music Video Performed by Gareth Gates
-On Location with the Directors
-Hula Lesson
-Create your own Alien Experiment Game
-Deleted Scenes and teaser trailers
-And much more...

This is a great family film, I presume girls would like it more than boys, though it also depends on their personality and also on their age, I presume a 17 year-old would hate it compared to a 7 year-old! You have to go and buy this DVD, you'll love it!

Except for telling some of the story, mentioning special features and saying you wanted stitch, you didn't give much of an opinion
