Had me in 'Stitch'es

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2002)

Sorry folks (minor spoilers)
Despite my bad puns, Disney has a hit on it's hands, a break the mold masterpiece. 'Lilo and Stitch' had lively, spunky characters, fresher, hipper, self-aware humor, and was a surprisingly touching story. I'm a 23 yr old man's man and I cried, don't judge me folks.
Lilo is a feisty, kickass little girl and the first scene at her dance class was terrific ("He controls the weather"). She's not as glossy and overdone as some of Disney's characters and heroines in particular. She really could be a kid, full of trouble, but you like her.
High praise for the animators, they did an awesome job conveying emotion, behavior and thoughts in Stitch's expressions and motion. Better than I've ever seen in an animated feature before. ('Stallion', eat your heart out!) He's also one of the best Disney characters ever, a rugged little rebel. He, Thumper and Tito are going to form a gang and terrorize Disney studios.
10/10 Here's hoping for 'Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Takes San Francisco'
