Lilo & Stitch Review
I keep reading all these parents bashing this movie. They want well behaved kids and good manners in a movie. Not all children are like that! This child has had a rough, very emotional past. Her parents were killed in a car accident. It happens. She is being raised by her sister who is trying to raise Lilo but is young herself and trying to support them. I have known a lot of children back in my school days who acted outlandish like Lilo. She doesn't have any friends because she is different. She is lonely and just wants a friend but doesn't know how to behave. Yes Lilo is a brat (aren't all kids sometimes in their lives?) and yes Nani doesn't handle things well (she is the sister not the mother, me and my sister fought like that) and Stitch is destructive.(that's what he was made to be, but overcomes it) Lilo even states that "I know that is why you wreck things and push me, because you miss your parents and cry at night. You must have dreams about them" Then she offers him to be part of the family. Both characters feel LOST. Hence the attitude problems!
The point of the story is they all stay together and love each other. A 2-4-7-and 10 year old have all viewed this movie with me. Not one of them destroy stuff or call me "stupid head." They laughed at those parts but never repeated them. This movie is rated PG. I understand it is hard to explain to a child why someone is taking a child away from their home, but in the real world it happens. It always can't be rainbows and sunshine. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone under 5. (Because it would be hard to explain somethings to them.)
I find this movie funny and entertaining. This family has gone through a lot but stays together and loves each other. I personally think that is a good message to give to your children ALONG with all the happy, rainbows and sunshine ones.

Best movie of all time SERIOUSLY - D. Lynch - Austin, TX
This is my favorite movie of all time. I have compiled a list of my top 25 and this sits at the top. I am a grown man with kids so I watch a lot of kid's movies. You know what, the Disney and Pixar movies are usually much better than the more adult-targeted entertainment.
Lilo & Stich has the following things going for it:
1. Humor - Almost every great movie must have this, with few exceptions.
2. Good Music - Elvis and native Hawaiian artists, plus orchestra music, wow! I discoved Mark Keali (shortened version of his name) through this movie and own his other CD's which I enjoy very much.
3. Science Fiction - This is my favorite genre, so I love the whole alien experiment bit. And the star cruiser's reaction to hyper drive were really interesting effects. The dialogue and vocabularly were excellent.
4. Hawaii - I love anything and everything to do with Hawaii. So this just sealed the deal for me.
The sound in this movie was great. Stitch has a hard time with speech and says a bunch of Stitch-speak, like "Naga" for no and "Eh" for yes, plus all kinds of neat sounding words. Jumba has a nice deep voice and Pleakely's voice is perfect. You couldn't have picked better voices for all involved.
I love the series spinoff too. The follow-on movies were definately not as good as the original, but they were direct-to-DVD and not as serious about getting a good plot, new music, etc. I still enjoyed them and own all of them.
Stitch is a real character, and will live in my memory forever. This movie has become a part of me and crawls through my mind in some way on a daily basis.
A great buy - grandma softie -
My grandsons love this movie and watch it every chance they get. It is currently in the car to watch on the car DVD.
