Now that's the way Walt would have done it...

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2002)

Finally a plot and story that's worthy of the Disney name. It seems the Bountiful Valley had gone dry after Lion King, with the exception of the wonderful work at Pixar. Lilo & Stitch, with the exception of the PG rating due to the alien content and the more realistic approach to "real" life, was undoubtedly a reawakening for the Buena Vista studios. It was wonderful to see real everyday characters intermixed with the fantasy of alien culture. The values of true family themed throughout, even with the typical poor little troubled girl of Disney plot chemistry. Snow white, Cinderella, Ariel, move over, and if you don't, she's going to make you, because here comes Lilo.
Stitch on the other hand, wins your love, after you love to hate him first. Percussing in his own native tongue at authority and expectorating just the same, you start to like him even when all odds are against him. But who couldn't love just one more Elvis impersonator. Hats off to Disney, you just made your father Walt proud... A+
