Entertaining, and never too sappy-a great film!

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2002)

Lilo and Stitich is probably going to be overlooked and underrated and that's a shame. It is one of the most refreshing Disney movies put out in recent years. It's "simple" non-CGI look may cause people to ignore it but the animation works beautifully and is never flashy. The comedy is funny with some real moments of amusement and the story deals with modern issues of family and the emotional message is wonderfully touching without being sappy (a definite plus). This movie is lots of ways is a step out of the norm for Disney movies which isn't a bad thing. Lilo and Stitich is a surprise gem for the summer.
