Lovable

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2003)

This is a masterpiece of graphics, textures and plots. Very very nice.
I've grown up with Disney, as have most of us. And I've seen many of the Masterpiece collection, first hand on the big screen.
I am also a fan of Disney's non-Christian views and presentations of the world. They make you use that imagination, whether you want to, or not. They have a way of making a person face the harsh realities of life, and realize that life will go on; regardless.
They transport you, if only for a few moments, into another world, another place and/or another time. Not many movies really do that for you, but for me, Disney animations do. The good ones, that is.
I've yet to see a sequel of a Disney movie that was worth a penny of my money or a moment of my time. But in all fairness, I have yet to see Cinderella 2 and Lion King 2.
The graphics in this instant classic are absolutely beautiful, as are the textures and color blends. As someone who does computer graphics for my own site, I am truly in awe of the Disney animators who did Lilo and Stitch and dozens of other Disney animations. I have one question though. Where the heck were they when the sequel was being made?
Stitch is beautifully expressive both in animation and in voice.
That's something you totally lose in the sequel. Lilo's face is also expressively drawn and animated, something else totally obliterated in the sequel.
Also, I was very pleased that there were no "Disney originals" in the soundtrack. This soundtrack was dead ON for the movie. Thankfully, they didn't use the "Beach Boys." Wow! What a difference THAT would've made! (and for the worse, I do believe.)
This movie is wonderful entertainment, and instills a feeling of family, even when that family is self-made; self-"adopted" people you just find and take into your life.
Wonderful message.
Wonderful movie.
It gets a 9.98/10 from...
