Cat & Sonic

Cat & Sonic is a 2021 American computer-animated science fiction, action-adventure, and comedy-drama film based on the similar Walt Disney Pictures 2002 film Lilo & Stitch, published by Sega, produced by DreamWorks Animation, and distributed by 20th Century Fox. the film stars the voices of Auliʻi Cravalho, Ben Schwartz, Kevin Hart, Thomas Middleditch and Nick Kroll. This film story revolves around two eccentric and mischievous individuals: a 15-year-old Hawaiian girl named Cat Kekoa, who is raised by a Valentine family after her biological parents died in the Hawaii earthquake, and an 15-year-old anthropomorphic blue hedgehog with superhuman speed named Sonic, who is adopted by Cat. Sonic, who is genetically engineered by his mad scientist creator to cause chaos and destruction, initially uses Cat to avoid being captured by an intergalactic federation, but the two individuals develop a close bond through the Hawaiian concept of ʻohana, or extended family. This bond causes Stitch to reconsider and later defy his intended destructive purpose in order to keep his family together.
== Plot ==
On a distant planet, a blue hedgehog named Sonic, who can run at supersonic speed and was created by Dr. Snowball, an extraterrestrial mad scientist, shortly though the intergalactic police arrived to arrest Snowball (instead Sonic who randomly flees toward Earth), by the Galactic Federation for illegal genetic experimentation. The grand councilwoman named Zamora sentences 626 to banishment on a remote asteroid. However, 626 escapes with his wits and strength and also flees toward Earth. Zamora then sends Snowball and Agent Brooks twins, her Earth 'expert', to capture Sonic. Upon landing in Green Hills, 626 is knocked unconscious by three trucks and is taken in by an animal shelter. 
7 years later after being raised by apes and wolves, Sonic enjoys a secret life near the town of Green Hills, Montana, but longs to make friends. He idolizes the insuricare employee, Bob Valentine, calling him "Donut Lord", and his stay-at-home wife, Nancy, unaware the pair are planning to relocate to San Francisco soon, as Bob has been offered a position within the San Francisco Police Department. 
One night, Sonic becomes upset over his loneliness when playing baseball by himself, and runs at supersonic speed, and as a result, inadvertently triggering an electromagnetic pulsewhich causes a power outage across the Pacific Northwest. Snowball & the Brooks twins disguised and is enlisted by the United States Department of Defense to uncover the source of the power cut. Snowball discovers and tracks Sonic, who hides in the Valentine's shed. 
Meanwhile, following 10 years passed, a rambunctious, disobedient, and lonely girl named Catarina "Cat" Kekoa who prefers playing with her friends rather than accepting responsibility; much to the chagrin of her strict her adoptive parents was Bob and Nancy Valentine. One day, social worker Dorothy Bubbles expresses increasing concern about whether Bob and Nancy Valentine can take adequate care of Cat. Since Cat's hula classmates have ostracized her, Bob and Nancy decides to let her adopt a dog. Cat discovers Sonic and shoots him with a tranquilizer dart, causing Sonic to drop his bag of rings through a portal to San Francisco. At an animal shelter, Cat immediately takes a keen interest Sonic, who is impersonating a hedgehog. Despite Cat's tomboy best friend Veronica Smith's doubts, Cat shows him around the world. That evening, at the restaurant where her friend Rebecca "Beck" Heffley works, Snowball & the Brooks twins try to capture Sonic but fail. The indescribable chaos is blamed on Sonic, which results in Beck getting fired. Having discovered one of Sonic's quills, Snowball & the Brooks twins discovers the power in it has the potential to fuel his robots and becomes obsessed with capturing Sonic. 
The next day, Dorothy Bubbles warns her that she will have to place Cat with a foster family unless she finds another job. However, Sonic's antics, which occur in the course of his evasion of his two pursuers, persistently ruin Beck's chances of finding work.
One of Cat's friends Otis Robert, Pip Davis, and Gregory "Greg" Farmer invites her, Veronica, Beck, and Sonic to enjoy a day of surfing and beach fun. While Cat, Veronica, and Sonic ride a huge wave, Snowball makes one final effort to capture Sonic from underwater, causing Sonic to unintentionally pull Cat underwater. They survive, but Dorothy witnesses this event and tells Veronica that, although she means well, Cat has to be taken away unless Beck finds another job. Seeing how much trouble he has caused, a remorseful Cat runs off, followed by Sonic into the night.
The next morning, Zamora fires Snowball & the Brooks twins from their assignment and gives it to the galaxy's oversized militant captain, Captain Robinson (incidentally freeing Snowball to pursue Stitch using less covert methods). Meanwhile, Greg informs Beck of a job opportunity, which she excitedly rushes off to pursue. As he tracks them down himself, Cat and Sonic debate over Cat's plans to leave Green Hills, which Sonic disapproves of. Shortly after defeating a robot sent by Snowball, an explosion injures Sonic. 
Arriving in San Francisco, Cat brings him to Veronica and Otis, who revives him. While Cat explains their situation to Veronica and Otis, Sonic receives a new pair of sneakers from Veronica's niece. Sonic, hiding in the nearby woods, encounters Snowball, who chases him back to Veronica's house. Cat, Otis, and Veronica reluctantly agrees to help Sonic before Snowball arrives. A fight ensues, which blows up the house; Dorothy arrives to collect Veronica and take her away.
As Nancy and Dorothy argue, Veronica runs away into the woods and finds Sonic, who reveals his secret identity before Robinson almost trying to capture him, but the group flees. The group soon head to the tower's roof of the Transamerica Pyramid, where Sonic's bag of rings landed, and recover them. Robinson arrives in a hovercraft and captures them, forcing Sonic to use a ring to send Cat, Otis, and Veronica back to Green Hills. 
Before she can explain, Snowball & the Brooks twins accidentally capture Otis themselves. Nancy demands that they help her rescue Sonic, but Snowball & the Brooks twins insist they only mistakenly came for Otis instead of Sonic. When Cat breaks down, Nancy reminds her about ʻohana, a term for "family" she learned from Cat's biological parents earlier and convinces Snowball to help rescue Sonic. Snowball, the Brooks twins, Cat, her friends, and Nancy board Snowball's personal spaceship and chase after Robinson, rescuing Sonic.
Sonic flees from Robinson, who uses the power of Sonic's quill to match his speed. The two engage in a chase across the world through France, China, and Egypt, ultimately returning to Green Hills. Robinson incapacitates Sonic, but Cat intervenes, allowing Sonic to regain his strength and reclaim his lost energy. Using a ring, Sonic defeats Robinson by sending him to a mushroom planet he was meant to go to earlier in the film. 
Back on the shore, Zamora arrives on Earth preparing to take Sonic and Stitch into custody and is forced to retire Robinson for putting Cat in danger and blames Snowball for the mess. Before Stitch goes into the spaceship, he tells her how he found his broken family and how much it means to them. Cat then insists that, because Sonic is her pet under local law, taking him away would be tantamount to stealing. Zamora is so impressed with Sonic and Stitch's newfound civility and empathy that she goes against the Federation's prior decision and decrees that Sonic and Stitch will live in a peaceful exile on Earth. He will be entrusted to Cat and her adoptive family care, and the Zamora asks Dorothy, who is revealed to be a former CIA agent that she previously met in 1973, to watch over them.
Cat, her adoptive family, her friends, and their newfound friends rebuild their house, and Snowball & the Brooks twins become members of Cat, her adoptive family, and Sonic's family, and they all build a new life together.
