Disney's back in da house.

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 2002)

This is without doubt Disney's best in recent years. I have nothing but praise for this film, and it finally seems that Disney is back on track. Whether or not they can keep it up remains to be seen, but Lilo and Stitch was worth every cent of admission and it will definitely be joining my DVD collection.
The animation is beautifully done, though the animators aren't trying to dazzle your pants off - it was refreshing. But what really stands out about this film is both the story and the cast of characters. The story sucked me in right from the start and I was more than happy to go along for the ride. This is thanks mostly to the characters. They're all memorable and endearing creations, and for most of the film you will be cracking up in your seat at the onscreen antics. While this film is aimed at kids (hello, Disney), don't let that put you off as adults will be just as entertained. I was even surprised at a lot of the humor, it didn't seem so childish as you might expect. That said, it's not all hilarity and comic capers, the film does tackle some deeper issues and at times it's touching.
Two words. See it.
