Beats Frozen by a LONG shot!

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 2014)

I personally despise Disney, finding it too positive, commercialized and full of stereotypes. Lilo and Stitch honestly surprised me, recently I viewed this horrible 2013 film called Disney's Frozen and hated it, so I tried something a little less recent, Lilo and Stitch, which came out during a great year of film-making (2002).
Lilo is a little girl living in Hawaii and is seen as a freak by her peers. The snobby girls in her class refuse to speak to her most of the time, and she has no friends. She is also nearly dirt-poor, her mother and father were killed in a car crash recently, leaving her college-aged older sister, Nani, looking after her. Lilo, being a troublemaker at times, causes a mysterious social worker, Mr. Cobra Bubbles, to become increasingly involved with his newest "case".
One day Nani takes Lilo to the city pet shelter to adopt a dog, and Lilo finds a blue puppy, whom she names Stitch, for unknown reasons. While Nani tries to hold what's left of her family together so Lilo won't be taken away into foster care, there's an unknown secret about Stitch... he's no puppy, he's a mutant from an alien ship who was arrested but escaped to Earth... and now the various aliens want him destroyed, so they cause all sorts of issues on the island.
Well, one thing is certain, the plot is definitely original. A little girl with no parents adopts a pet alien in Hawaii? Now there's something you don't see every day! The soundtrack was excellent; not only was Elvis Presley featured but an adventurous score was also provided as background music. The voice cast was great, there were many memorable comedic scenes that were hilarious without the use of fart noises, sexual references or racial jokes. One repeated joke that I've loved since I was a kid is the fat tourist who continually keeps dropping his chocolate mint ice cream and never seems to get the chance to eat it. Lilo has some bizarre hobbies, from making voodoo dolls of her classmates and drowning them in pickle brine, to collecting photographs of morbidly obese people on the beach, which she puts up on the wall beside her bed. This was one of the few Disney films I really enjoyed, and I highly recommend it.
