One of my favorite "new" Disney classics

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2013)

In "Lilo & Stitch," a lonely Hawaiian girl looks to fill the void in her life with a pet she adopts from an animal shelter. Little does she know that she hasn't taken in any ordinary dog. What she's brought home is a mischievous alien who's an escaped fugitive from another galaxy. Can Lilo tame the little creature before he complicates life for both her and her sister?
"Lilo & Stitch" is one of my favorite "new" Disney classics. What's not to love about a terrorizing extraterrestrial that has no sense of self- control and acts like an untamed beast? Add to that his love for classic rock 'n roll and you've got the equivalent of E.T. on crack. The rotten little brat inside me loves the little monster with all my heart.
The other reason I adore "Lilo & Stitch" is because it's not littered with characters breaking out in song in awkward places. There's music worked into it, but they're believable parts like a dancing number, a surfing scene, and a couple of songs Stitch performs for people or dances to with Lilo. Let's just sum it up by saying this isn't a typical musical.
