Another great classic with an adorable blue creature

Rating: 9/10 (11 November 2012)

When I was a little child, I wanted to see this movie. I watched the ad commercials which was kind of confusing. Whoever thought Disney wanted to put Stitch in Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King to begin with? That question remains a mystery to me, but despite that, I saw it in theaters and was virtually surprised at how good it really is. The reason why I'm giving this a 9/10 is because it's not in the same depth as "The Lion King", "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", and several of Disney's films, but it's an emotionally entertaining that still holds up for me as a young adult.
The story is original with a nice concept: An experiment made by Dr. Jumbaa with his assistant Dr. Pleakley escapes from a ship and lands in Hawaii where Lilo, a step-sister to Nani, meets him and adopts him before she names him Stitch. It also has some beautiful emotional moments especially the relationship between Lilo and Nani. There are other redeeming qualities such as the likable and charming characters, some excellent voice work from a cast including Chris Sanders, David Ogen Stiers, Kevin McDonald, and others, it's terrific music score from Alan Silvestri and it's beautiful animation with beautiful backgrounds and decent character designs.
Overall, Lilo & Stitch is one of the childhood favorites that I usually love and I still love it right now since it's celebrating it's 10 anniversary. Thumbs up from me!
