DVD Reviews of Lilo & Stitch

DVD Review: A great message, but a ho-hum movie
Summary: 3 Stars

Lilo and Stitch is, in my opinion, a below-average animated Disney offering. Don't get me wrong, the message is great - the importance of family, and of friendship, but, let's face it, the movie itself is quite forgettable when compared to other animated Disney offerings, e.g., Mulan, Hercules, Aladdin, etc., not to mention the recent parade of Pixar-Disney films.

The characters in Lilo and Stitch are likable, but they are not particularly memorable. I must admit though, that I DO like the fact that Disney opted to depart from their anatomically impossible princess female character forms and went with a human character that actually looks human. I also appreciate that this film deals with family-related issues that are real-life, rather than the complete escapism that is the center of many other Disney films. With that said, though, this is still a somewhat forgettable film.

Why do I think that?

1) Though the characters are likeable, they are not particularly memorable (even though they surf - a plus!)
2) The original music lacks pizzaz, and the only remotely memorable music from the score are the tracks they pull from Elvis.
3) It felt like Disney tried to interlace too many storylines together to make this film. I think that if Disney had focused on the two sisters and their plight and left Stitch out of this film they could have accomplished something memorable.
4) The CIA agent coming out at the end was sort of like introducing a new character, and a major one, on the last page of a murder-mystery, and didn't have it's desired effect.
5) The series of bumbling aliens, though providing some comic relief, didn't accomplish the kind of tension they could have.

All in all, as I mentioned before, I didn't find this film to be above even average.

3 stars - you'll be glad you watched it, but may regret paying to own it.

I recommend that you head to the video store...

DVD Review: An Amazing Animated Adventure
Summary: 5 Stars

This Amazing Disney Film is About Lilo, A Young Hawiian Girl Who Lives With Her Older Sister Nani, Who Needs To Find A Job Before Lilo is Taken Away. One Day Lilo Goes To The Dog Store and Finds A Strange Blue Furry Dog That She Names Stitch. Stitch, However, is an Evil Experiment From Space That Crash Lands on Earth. After Teaching Stitch To Be Nice, and Meaning of Ohana, Stitch Turns Into a More Loving and Caring Creature To Everyone. But, The Creator of Stich, Jumba, and Sidekick Plickly Are On The Search of Finding Stitch and Bringing Him Back To The Grand Concil in Space. Lilo,Stitch, and Nani Must Stop From The Aliens From Taking Stitch Back To Space and Making Sure He Stays With Them.

I've Never Seen A Film So Magical, Thrilling, and Origanal Scince Spielberg's E.T., Lilo and Stitch is One of Those Films You Can Watch Over and Over Again and Can Never Ever Get Tired of It. One of The Best Things About This Film is The Various Elvis Songs in The Film and I Plan To Get The Soundtrack Sometime. Another Great Thing About The Film is Its Animation, Even Though It's 2D Animation, It's Absolutly Realistic, and Belivable. The Voice Cast is Great As Well and Making The Carecters Very Belivable.

This Film Works on Three Levels, It Works As A Disney Film, It Also Works as A Science Fiction and It Works as A Family Film For Both Kids and Adults.

LILO AND STITCH is A Must-See For Kids and Adults of All Ages and is A Special Film For All of The E.T. Fans Out There.

Recomendations if You Liked Lilo and Stitch E.T., Bolt, and Stitch! The Movie.

Overall Rating-5/5

DVD Review: Gets Better And Better As The Film Goes On
Summary: 5 Stars

This was a pretty entertaining "kids" animated film. It was a little different in that there is some dramatic action you usually don't see in nice animated cartoons and you have heroes who aren't exactly good role models.

However, as the film progresses, all those characters (small child, big sister and alien) all become nicer and more caring "people." There also is a good "no one is left behind" family message. You just have to be patient with the human kid and sister in the beginning.

I think the best feature of this film are the brilliant colors. This is a great visual movie. It's also nice to hear a kids movie 100 percent devoid of the slightest profanity.

In summary: one of the better modern-day animated films. Highly recommended. As soon as a Blu-Ray high-def version comes out on this movie, I'll buy it!

DVD Review: Burning Love
Summary: 4 Stars

Lilo & Stitch is one hour and fifteen minutes long and was released on June 21, 2002. Lilo & Stitch won the 2002 Artios Award for Animated Voice Over Feature and 2002 Golden Reel Award for Best Sound Editing for Music in an Animated Feature Film. This was first for Disney in a couple ways. First this was Disney first science fiction animation cartoon and second, it was the first movie to be original and not set on a story. The DVD includes: Build An Alien Experiment Game, DisneyPedia: Hawaii, A Stitch in Time, The Young Voices of Hawaii, "Burning Love": Behind the Scenes with Wynonna, and How-To-Hula Lesson. The movie is about an alien named Stitch who escaped from the Galactic Federation and crashed lands on Earth. Stitch wakes up in dog shelter and is adopted by Lilo. Stitch goes to live with Nani and Lilo. Nani looks to be about eighteen years old and Lilo looks to be about six or eight. Nani is the caretaker of Lilo because we found out the movie that their parents died in a car crash. Along the way Stitch seems to be adjusting to family life. The movie does a great job of combining animation and computer technology. This is a great family movie. I am giving it an AA++.

DVD Review: Condition of the Lilo and Stitch DVD
Summary: 4 Stars

The box was in great condition and looked to have everything inside it the way it is suppose to. i was disappointed though in the fact that the dvd has a bad enough scratch on it that at a certain area of the movie it stops and then resumes again about a minute later. luckily it is only in one place in the movie that it does this in but it was still a bit disappointing. for the price i got it for though i guess i can not be to upset.

Description of Lilo & Stitch

"As Elvis might put it, you can't help falling in love with LILO & STITCH." -- Claudia Puig, USA TODAY. Out-of-this-world storytelling, stunning Disney animation, and wild and irresistible characters are at the heart of Disney's hilarious new animated adventure. This worldwide box office sensation is a heartwarming comedy about the power of loyalty, friendship, and finding your place in the world. On the lush and tropical Hawaiian Islands, an independent little girl named Lilo adopts what she thinks is an innocent puppy, completely unaware that he is a mischievous creature who has escaped from a faraway planet. Stitch takes Hawaii by storm, wreaking havoc and hanging ten while he evades the alien bounty hunters who are bent on recapturing him. It's an action-packed comedy the whole family will enjoy over and over again.

Warm, funny, and imaginative, Lilo & Stitch is the best animated feature the Walt Disney Studios have produced in years. On the planet Turo, mad scientist Jumba Jookiba (voice by David Ogden Stiers) has created a miniature monster programmed for destruction. When the monster escapes to Earth, it's adopted as a pet and named "Stitch" by Lilo (Daveigh Chase), a lonely little Hawaiian girl. Lilo and her older sister Nani (Tia Carrere) have been struggling to stay together since their parents died. Stitch and Lilo share some hilarious adventures, evading welfare officer Cobra Bubbles (Ving Rhames) and galactic police agents. They learn the timely lesson that a family can be something you're born into--or something you assemble. A warmth and sincerity that recall The Iron Giant and the films of Hiyao Miyazaki make Lilo a delightful fantasy adults and children can truly enjoy together. --Charles Solomon
