My favorite Disney movie ever!

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2002)

I haven't been a fan of traditionally animated Disney movies for many years. Sure, some have been great to see once or twice (Mulan, Tarzan, Beauty and the Beast), but some I regret taking the time seeing (Hercules). Out of the Classics, Bambi always stood out for me as a favorite, but even so, I don't yet own the DVD. But Lilo & Stitch has quickly jumped to the forefront as my favorite Disney movie ever. Why? Because it's got heart and edge yet avoided the sappy sentimentality and stuped one-liners. Stitch and Lilo complement each other well. They're both adorable, even when they're getting into trouble. These characters aren't perfect nor completely evil. They're just like the rest of us...a little of both. But they want to be a part of something where they can belong. Ohana works for them. It works for me.
Kudos to Disney for not making this film by committee and letting two amazing artists create their vision on their own. It makes a difference!
