Ooooh...

Sequels aside, you can tell that Disney put alot of effort into their movies. It shows, too, in movies like the Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan... Lilo & Stitch is no exception.
When I first saw a clip of the movie, I thought it was going to be Disney's worst. Disney did not put too much effort into that clip. Then came the teasers, then I knew the movie was going to be good. The teasers were the first that caught my eye. Then came the word of mouth. "Did you see this movie yet?" "That movie's really good." "It's almost too good to be Disney." Once I saw it, it was higher than my already high expectations.
I was expecting another Emperor's New Groove (which I also enjoyed), but what I really saw were movies that Disney had given us before. Movies that actually have themes.
This isn't too good to be Disney. This movie is what Disney is all about, and it's a movie that I'm sure Walt would be proud of. Sure, the alien thing might make it look like some kind of plotless story that makes sure the audience is laughing too much to notice, but it's not. This movie, as different as it looks, is much like the Disney movies we've grown up with. I rank it up there with the Lion King, Pocahontas, Aladdin, etc. because it deserves to be in those ranks.
The animation isn't revolutionary like Final Fantasy, but the movie is really good.
