this is dumbo/bambi quality

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2002)

This movie could just have been made 60 years ago. It feels the same as Dumbo or Bambi. Simple animation, a couple of characters and a good story though the last is very different then the elepthant or deer. Animating on Elvis songs is wonderfully done. The Hawaiian music is a winner too.
When I first read about Disney making a movie about an alien crashing down on earth and taken up in a human family I thought the bosses had lost their mind. No one will ever buy that from the company. I'm glad that I was wrong. A Disney Classic, but with a unexpected approach.
Personally I never felt there was anything wrong with the modern, 90's classics where the hero and heroine fall in love defeating the badguy helped by talking parrots, fish, theapots or clocks. I hope that it doesn't take to long before Disney returns to such movies. I would'nt mind seeing 5 more "Lilo & Stitchs" GO DISNEY! Traditional hand-drawn animation rulez forever!!
