What a wonderful film!

Rating: Null/10 (23 June 2002)

With all the things people say about "broken" homes, it's good to see a film that is not afraid to come out and say "as long as there is love in the family it's all right." Lilo and her sister are the "imperfect" family and when Stitch comes along it becomes even more imperfect. However, as the movie continues it gives comfort to those children who come from homes like this that it's all right and everything will be okay. Lilo and Stitch seem to be the new attitude of Disney films; crass and strange. Lilo is a manic girl with an overactive imagination, a far cry from the older, dumbed down fairy tale adaptions of decades past.
That's not to say that SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS is inferior to this movie, they're just diffrent. I think kids of today, while still in awe of the earlier films, will identify with Lilo and Stitch, two obviously flawed characters, than a perfect woman and a charming young prince. I found this movie to be thorughly entertaining. It had a lot of wonderful humor that most children would not probably get, but enough humor that they would get to make it a great movie experience for them as well a la Shrek Grade:A
