Lilo And Stitch (Animated) (DVD) > Reviews

Advantages: Funny and warm family entertainment.
Disadvantages: Disney films are always short because kids have tiny attention spans.

I'm mature, honest. Lilo And Stitch was the only thing worth seeing, it was this or some dire horror film about people getting murdered in a house(original idea). Although I don't say it too often, I am a big fan of Disney films and in this case was happier to watch a cartoon than anything Hollywood had to offer. Lilo And Stitch is a much needed step towards the first films that Disney made, especially after the disappointing Atlantis. Sensibly they ... Read review

Advantages: Fun, warm and enjoyable
Disadvantages: erm... its for children?

...see the new release of Lilo and Stitch. I have always enjoyed Disney films and although they tend to sway from the original story quite a bit, they still make for great entertainment and lovable characters. So I was interested in seeing what they came up with for this one! The story starts in a council far away where Dr Jumba Jookiba, voiced by David Stiers (The Dead Zone and Mighty Aphrodite) is being questioned about his illegal genetic experiments, ... Read review

Advantages: Kids will like it, Elvis soundtrack, ocassional funny moment, 'cute' if you like that kind of thing
Disadvantages: Lazy, lazy production. Disney morals(again), no surprises, not a classic Disney movie by any stretch of the imagination

...of the kind offered by Lilo & Stitch in the early 90s, Beauty and the Beast was beautifully drawn, possibly the best of all the Disney movies I've seen on that score, but now it looks as though either audiences want more of the kind of computer generated fun offered by the likes of Shrek and Monsters Inc. or simply that studios such as Disney are getting lazy again and simply churning out poorly produced efforts. I haven't seen this year's other Disney ... Read review

Advantages: Very funny; enjoyable for both children and adults

...Hawaii. An orphaned girl called Lilo (who happens to be an Elvis fan) is having a hard time of it - she can't make friends and her adult sister Nani is having trouble convincing the social worker (an interesting character) that she is capable of being Lilo's guardian. So to cheer her up, Nani lets Lilo have a puppy. Lilo selects an odd-looking blue one - or rather, she is selected - and she names him Stitch. Only problem is, Stitch is actually ... Read review

Advantages: Cute and Fluffy
Disadvantages: Ends Too Soon

...I didn't know anything about Lilo and Stitch when I first saw it. Two friends and my sister had said I should see it and in the end what convinced me was the fact that I could see it for free. So you see, I wasn't exactly convinced going in. Plot Summary: Genetically engineered alien is sent into exile but escapes to earth. Is adopted by Lilo (small Hawaiian girl) and attempts to evade capture - with hilarious results. Ok, it sounds like it ... Read review

Advantages: Great fun, no brain power required
Disadvantages: Schmaltzy ending

...small Elvis-obsessed Hawaiian girl called Lilo and a blue alien called Stitch. With "The Emperor’s New Groove" the House of Mouse finally found its funnybone and it’s pleasing to see that it’s kept a finger firmly on it. "Lilo and Stitch" is somewhat of a departure from the sickly sweet offerings of Disney of old. For a kick-off, we seem to have the first animated anti-hero in the form of Stitch. You see, he’s no ordinary ... Read review

...and take them to see Lilo and Stitch, the latest Disney offering. I had hoped to hold out till at least the middle of the week, but they were bored and getting cabin fever. By the way, it’s Lee-low not Lie-low (my 9 year old corrected me, obviously amazed at my ignorance). The film opens in outer space where Dr. Jumba, an idiot scientist who aspires to the title of “evil genius”, is on trial for the crime of creating a monster ... Read review

...have been to animate. Lilo and her extended family are themselve as equally well drafted and executed though it is only Lilo who is developed and further in terms of charecter. As mentioned earlier the scenes on Earth where most of the film takes place are majestically rendered via colourful watercolours of bright and luminous hues. This is an interesting choice and one no used very often which makes for a welcome and distinctive stylistic choice. ... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful Heart Rendering tale For All The Family To Enjoy.
Disadvantages: Children will grow out of it eventually.

Lilo and Stitch, is yet another hit film produced by those Hollywood giants, Disney. This one is my all time favourite, and although it contains that illustrious Disney quality and all the features of a Disney classic, it has a significant modern twist involving social workers and aliens! Sounds bizzare? It is a bit, but the plot works so well, and has you willing Lilo and Stitch on the whole way through, hoping they too will have that coveted, ... Read review
