Profile of Lilo & Stitch

The mood of Lilo & Stitch is exciting and humorous. The plot centers around an orphan, benign aliens, and an odd couple. It is a comedy, adventure, and animation movie. In approach, Lilo & Stitch is fantastical. The pacing is fast. It takes place, at least partly, on an island. Lilo & Stitch is set in Hawaii. It happens in contemporary times. The musical score is oldies and rock. Lilo & Stitch is known for being a blockbuster, an award winner, and critically acclaimed. It is especially suggested for kids, a family outing, and a date night.

Summary of Lilo & Stitch

Far, far away, on an alien planet, a rogue scientist named Jumba has created a bright blue creature called Experiment 626, through illegal genetic research. This new creature loves destruction and chaos; he's considered dangerous enough to be exiled to a deep space lockup. But 626 steals a spaceship and escapes, touching down in Hawaii, where he ends up in a dog pound. He's adopted by Lilo, a spunky young girl, who renames her new pet "Stitch."

Stitch turns out to be quite a handful--his destructive impulses are on full display as he trashes Lilo's house, among other naughty acts. Lilo is being raised by her older sister Nani (their parents died in an accident), and they are under surveillance by an evil social worker, Cobra Bubbles, who wants to take Lilo away from Nani. Lilo must tame Stitch, or his bad behavior could be held against Nani by Cobra. Meanwhile, Stitch is being pursued by his creator Jumba, who has followed him to Earth to try to recapture him. But Stitch becomes steadily more thoughtful and well-behaved as he grows to love Lilo and becomes a part of her family. The film's animation is done in the traditional 2-D style, complete with beautifully drawn watercolor backgrounds which give it a dreamy, colorful handcrafted appeal.

Critics Reviews

Time
It's a bright, engaging bauble with half a dozen Elvis Presley songs for Mom and Dad, and just enough sass -- Stitch sticks his tongue into his nose and eats his snot -- to keep the tweeners giggling.
The Onion (A.V. Club)
With its sharp wit and its portrayal of how broken families sometimes fit back together, Lilo would make a fine summer double feature alongside "About A Boy," another film that stays funny while dancing around a tiny abyss.

Fun to watch
One of the first animation movies about aliens on earth. Lilo is a lonely girl who find herself raising an alien - and not such a friendly one. Yet with time they learn to trust each other and become great friends. An excellent comedy for the whole...
