My wife and I saw this movie together on a date almost 20 years ago. Tonight, we watched it with our two kids, who cackled with glee when Stitch picked his nose with his tongue.
It doesn’t get much better than that.
Few Disney films delve so deep into the flawed humanity of their characters, but leave it to a film involving fucking aliens to fix that problem immediately and with a tremendous amount of ease. Lilo and Stitch, directed by Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders (IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW), is a glorious mixture of 50s sci-fi trappings laden within a gentle study of family dysfunction.
It's kinda rare that something this perfect came out of Disney in the early 2000s, but it happened, and it should be recognized more often. Fantastic action set-pieces, an economical narrative, fascinating characters, brilliant one-liners, heartbreaking moments; It has it all and It's over in 85 minutes. Grab some popcorn and some tissues and enjoy.
“this is my family. i found it, all on my own. it’s little, and broken, but still good. yeah, still good.”
i think i remember having a weird crush on pleakley as a Youth .. what does that say about me ?
if you don't think this is one of disney's best movies keep that shit to yourself that's fucking embarrassing
I'm lost.
If this film had come out five years before it did it could be considered a Disney classic with the likes of Aladdin and Little Mermaid. It is a flawless film that goes from proper belly laughs to crushing emotional depths within minutes.
Its tender and well thought out narrative bring a fantastic emotional depth to what should be a very silly story and if you haven't seen this be prepared to cry the whole way through. Even the filler song scenes are fantastic lending to the great animation on Stitch and the lovely voice work.
It deals with a different culture without being garish, there's a lovely explanation on tumblr about the significance of the Aloha-Oe scene…
u know how a film makes you really happy but also crushes your soul into a fine dust by the time the credits roll.
