I love this movie. Years ago it was playing in Target on the demo TVs-- I watched 30 seconds and was convinced to buy it. That's never happened to me before.

Warning Skip the Stich movie which is utter crap and head right to Lilo and Stich 2 if you get the urge to see more.
I've never actually watched all of Lilo and Stich 2 but from what I saw working as a clerk at Toys ar us for a shot time it did a ok job living up to the first movie.

Ohana means. . . whoa check out that hot blonde life guard again! 
The TV series is surprisingly well done. It's a breath of fresh air compared to all the animu bullshit out there.

The art style is pretty incredible. I wish they'd have cut the constant alien chase though. Lilo, Nani, and Stitch had great chemistry and the film could have spent more time developing the sister's and Stitch's relationship by cutting the constant chase that begins 25 minutes in. Other than that a fine effort. Chris Sanders next film should be a good one, American Dog.

You're just now seeing L&S Mej? My daughter and I watched it again this pat weekend. Great movie.
I agree. I wish the alien stuff was dropped. When it was just Lilo, Stitch and Nani, the film was soaring. The very last act lost me too, with the aliens coming in full force, the FBI thing, and Stitch talking. I just wanted to see Stitch learn about the world and get involved in that family. Of course, dropping some of that other stuff might make the movie border too closely to just copying The Iron Giant, but whatever.J2 Cool said:

Yeah, Emperor's New Groove was just a film that knew what it was. All these other Disney films post Lion King lacked an identity. Save for Pocohontas which decided it's identity was "boring/serious". Emperor's New Groove's animation, characters, and story were on the same page. Mulan though was well recieved as the best drama since Lion King. Lilo & Stitch for having such a bold design and fun feel - despite some of my own grievances with it. Point being, they're all a mark above everything else the studio did in that time.

TENG love is funny, especially since that's not the movie they started making.
yikes. I think what we got is a much better movie.

So how does the Lilo & Stitch continuity go?
Lilo & Stitch
Stitch: The Movie
Lilo & Stitch: The Series
Leroy & Stitch
Where does Lilo & Stitch 2 fit in? Somewhere in the middle/end of the series?
BTW, has the special 2-Disc DVD release come out yet? I've been waiting for like two fucking years for it... L&S rocks so hard.

Ahahahahahahaha, AniHawk you're awesome. :lol :lol
Leroy is experiment 627. He looks like Stitch except he's red and more evil.
(On the right. I don't think there's an official image of him yet)
Edit: Nevermind!

First they didn't release it because they didn't think people would care for a second disc of extras. Then they were going to release it on the year anniversary. THEN they were going to release it with Lilo & Stitch 2. WHAT THE FUCK! The DVD is DONE. It's just SITTING there waiting to be shipped.
GOD DAMMIT DISNEY WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!
I love this movie. It's a great mix of serious themes and stunningly bizzare humor. Marcelus Wallace as a social worker? Cross-dressing aliens? ("You're just jealous because I'm pretty!") Some really halucinagentic dialogue. My favorite lines:
"Oh good, my puppy found the chainsaw."
"My friends need to be punished." (After dropping voodoo dolls of her friends into a pickle jar and shaking it.)
The entire Pudge the Fish speech. ("I'd be an abomination!")
I love that the filmmakers put more Elvis songs in it than any of Elvis' own movies had.
And the story moves me. The whole Ugly Duckling methphor is perfect, and the animation is stunning. I love that it uses retro-styles: hand-painted watercolor backgrounds (the first since Dumbo) and rounded surfaces; no sharp corners at all. It's all soooooo cute, yet devious. And Stitch is one twisted SOB.

I wish I knew. This is the one post-Lion King Disney animated film I'd like to own, but I'm not buying the normal edition when this is still on the horizon.WordAssassin said:
Actually, I wouldn't be opposed to owning Atlantis, just for some of the art though.

Speaking of Atlantis, I had forgotten the guy who does the Hellboy comic worked on the movie until after the Hellboy movie came out. Had to watch Atlantis again and see where his influences were.

Nani was pretty damn hot, too.

One of, if not my fovorite Diseny movie. Just so purely funny and twisted in spots.
Like others have said, the out of place ugly duckling story is quite touching.
My fovorite scene is Lilo telling Stitch to do something constructive....
He then builds a model of San Fran out of books and goes "Godzilla" on it.

That's what puts this movie over the edge for me. For it being family fare, Stitch was a complete asshole. And not just an asshole, a gleefully happy asshole. I loved watching him destroy, because he was having so much fun doing it. Stitch had me from the second he used his own spit to free himself.

Hang out with Steve.
Disney knows Stitch is hot stuff, too. My wife (who is a *huge* Stitch fan) and I went to Disney World last week, and Stitch has taken over. Seriously, he's right up there with Mickey, Donald and Goofy in terms of presence at the parks & stores. They had t-shirts at Animal Kingdom with African-mask-like faces of 4 characters on it -- Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Stitch.
He's a great character. And Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has A Glitch is *almost* as good as the first movie. Stitch: The Movie and the TV series are not as good but still fun.

Thanks, WordAssassin! I came in to bitch about the lack of the Special Edition, but you more or less covered that ground.
Love Lilo and Stitch (And Emperor's New Groove, mind you), and Stitch is a strong property...I know that Jim Hill is like the plague most of the time, but he had an interesting article on the possible oversaturation of the franchise...I'll be honest, I think there's too much of it myself, between the Series and the movies and the rest of it.
That said...Where the FUCK is my 2-Disc set and Airplane scene restoration, damnit?!

Hmm. Lemme see. I think we've seen the original about, I dunno, 20 times. At least. Still never gets old.
Part 2, the real part 2, we've seen maybe 8 times. It's oh-so-close to the greatness of part one but falls short a bit. BUT! The scene where Lilo beats up her nemesis and Stitch is taking pics of it (Lilo's teeny hand makes me laugh like nobody's business) is pure gold. Lilo is ghetto, on the low.
