Absolutely horrible

Rating: 1/10 (14 August 2002)

"Lilo and Stitch" has my vote as being the worst animation movie I have ever seen. It is violent, tasteless, inappropriate for children, unfunny, uninteresting and terribly disconnected. It is unclear to me what on earth might have been the purpose of making this movie (other than profit ) from a company with past glorious reputation in animated movies. The story line centers around an alien fugitive beast in Hawaii which is being hunted by alien monsters of various kinds. Throughout the entire movie, I could not hear any of the 20 or so children in the theater making any expression of laughter, delight, or joy but were rather perplexed (as I was) that how they were duped into watching such a senseless story. The opening credits site the movie was based on "an idea by Chris Sanders". One may wish Mr. Sanders would keep his ideas to himself in future.
