Hilarious, Gorgeous, Sparkling (and with a creamy-crispy cookie core)!! Lilo and Stitch is certainly one of the most entertaining and especially one of the most funny Disney films ever. I really loved the latest Disney films like Monster Inc. and Emperor's new Groove, too, but L&S took the ideas from Emperor and developed them. The humor is just so un-Disney-esque, it's almost Simpson-esque. By the way, my Disney favorites are The little mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.
One of my favorite jokes was the scene in which Lilo asks Mr. Bubbles (Mr. Bobo) if he has ever killed someone or the scene in which Nani tries to give Lilo instructions what to say to Mr. Bubbles about her family life and Lilo finally ends up saying that she gets beaten up every day by her sister.
And I loved the jokes with Dr. Jamba as tourist and Pleakley as his wife...by the way, Pleakley seems to be a bit gay at all (Remember that charming phone call with his mother, when Pleakley sits on the palm tree?) And it is one of the rare, if not the only Disney cartoon that hints something like sex (Lilo to David: "Nani said she liked your bottom." or something similar). I know that Disney establishes a new character design in every film, but why does everybody in this film have these fat legs?!
I don't know why some mothers (it can only be mothers, perhaps belonging to the group I personally call AMA (Adjusted Mothers of America)) screw up about L&S, like Disney was only allowed to make films that provide important morally values. For those AMA-Moms: IT IS NOT! Lilo and Stitch is just a great piece of animation and I'm really looking forward to its DVD release here in Germany.
I haven't seen the film in English yet, but Nani's voice is a bit annoying in the German version.
