The Worst Film Ever

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

This film came as a surprise for me at how much I enjoyed it. I remember when it first came out, there was a lot of hype behind it, including a televised concert. Not only is it a great story, but it also has a great Elvis soundtrack that you wouldn't think would mesh well with a cartoon about an Alien. Lilo and Stitch are the greatest on-screen animated Disney duo!

This is an amazing family film for many reasons and a great example of a movie that is enjoyable for the whole family. the movies main focus is on family and accepting new members into the family and losing the old. The directing of the movie is also pretty good take the beginning for example it starts with a close up at a low angle to show the power of the galactic chancellor then goes to a wide shot of the room to show the reach of the federation, the enemy stitch must confront, His escape then shows how he is a representation of chaos that is totally unstoppable, even picking the red police cruiser and wearing a red prison suit helps the representation since the color red is associated with violence. This is until he lands on hawaii and meets lilo. When stitch finds out he is trapped on the island his purpose and identity are destroyed in the process since he has always been unstoppable until this point where he has to question who he is and what to do now. Where as lilo who recently lost her parents is isolated from everyone else and hoping for a friend when she meets stitch. She tries to educate him and believes he is good despite the fact he uses her as a shield. Both of them are social outcast lilo having lost her family and stitch being a monster on the run. stitch enters the family like an adopted child and becomes a brother to lilo and the start to form a familial relationship. When gantu tries to abduct stitch but accidentally takes lilo, stitch is the one who gathers jumba and plekle to help and save the only family he has. The story for the movie has a certain depth that any good movie needs and is relatable to anyone to see. The movie has no real striking flaws that can make me dislike it and seeing it again after many years has been an unexpected treat.

Lilo and Stitch has its sugary moments, but it is a good movie as a whole.The Bad: 1. The movie has its overly sentimental moments, especially with its cliché family message. 2. The family message in this movie is very cliché, due to the fact that it is the movie's theme. This doesn't ruin the movie as a whole, thankfully.The Good: 1. The voice acting is Daveigh Chase at her best, since this is a voice acting role with no American national bias, which was the case for Chihiro in Spirited Away's English dub, which reinforced said bias. The reinforcement of the American national bias gives the English dub of Spirited Away a very toxic appeal, due to the fact that the voice of Chihiro was heavily skewed in Chase's favour, where she was actually voiced by Rumi Hiiragi, because the screenplay for Spirited Away was written in Japanese. Thankfully, there is no American national bias in Chase's role as Lilo, which makes it the best voice acting performance for Daveigh Chase, which is a good thing. Also joining Daveigh Chase is Chris Sanders as Stitch, the other titular character. Tia Carrere as Nani, Lilo's older sister, David Ogden Stiers as Jumba, an alien scientist, Kevin McDonald as Pleakley, the alien assisting Jumba, etc. The voice acting is very good in this movie. 2. The animation is excellent, with very colourful visuals. 3. The music of Alan Silvestri, is pretty good, but his score can get a bit sentimental at times. 4. The story is a simple, yet pretty good one, despite its family cliché. 5. The movie has a colourful cast of characters, with Lilo, Nani, Stitch, Jumba, Pleakley, Grand Councilwoman, Captain Gantu and David.Overall, Lilo and Stitch is a good movie, but I wouldn't really consider it Walt Disney Animation Studios' best like Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid.

Set in the modern times, Disney made more justifiable use of modern-day dialog; however, even so, the script was not overblown with mindless jokes and Hollywood-style clichés. It's a good, well-balanced and captivating film about a Hawaiian girl named Lilo who adopts a fugitive alien (whom she later names Stitch), on the run from the mad alien scientist who created him and is on orders to take him back to their planet for incarceration.It's a fun story full of laughable moments and adventures, from Stitch constantly getting Lilo and her old sister Nani in trouble with their social worker to Stitch dodging his pursuing captors left and right. The subplot about Nani trying to keep Lilo from being taken away by social services and the theme about "no family gets left behind" are very heartfelt points to the story and provides redeeming qualities to our character leads and touches of drama to the overall plot. It gives "heart" to the movie, something that was sorely missing in the last few Disney entries. It was wonderful seeing how the characters including Lilo and Stitch develop throughout the course of the film. I would, though, have liked to see our human characters become more alarmed after spotting Stitch and the other aliens, because it is not everyday you see space creatures roam around in your backyard.The animation is great, capturing the beauty, care-freeness and freshness of Hawaii, and Alan Silvestri's music score is excellent; I especially enjoyed the Hawaiian-theme pieces that Silvestri interwoven into the score.At 85 minutes, this is a well-paced film with a good balance of comedy, drama, adventures and surprises to keep you entertained and is what I think one of the best Disney animated films to come out of the 2000s.Grade B+
