Lilo & Stitch!

[maudmac]

I love pretty much every single second of this movie, but I especially love or am touched by a these scenes:

• When Lilo wants to play dolls and shows the mean girls her doll and they run off and she runs off and then comes back for the doll. Lilo...
• When Nani sings "Aloha 'Oe" to Lilo.
• When Stitch sits out all night..."I'm lost."
• When Stitch asks if he can say goodbye at the end and he says this is his family and they might be small and broken, but "still good, yeah, still good."
• When Lilo really decides Stitch is right for her because he reached his own tongue up his nose and ate whatever he found up there.
• When Lilo is punishing her friends with the pickle jar.
• When Nani carries Lilo home from the beach, saying they have a lot to talk about.
• When Stitch wears Nani's bikini top or bra or whatever it is on his head.

God....and....so, so many more. That list could be really long.



I have still yet to meet anyone who doesn't like this movie. I can't think of a single movie that seems so well-liked by such different people. I also love that, while it's definitely appealing to children, it also offers something very appealing to adults as well.

Hee, Lilo is awesome. I love how she says some of the lines in those scenes, how she says, "She looks like she could use some lovin" and "My friends need to be punished." So matter of fact and all. And when she asks Cobra Bubbles, "Did you ever kill anyone?" It is hard to pick out the best scenes because they're all good. But the ones that make me go all mushy:

-After the lost scene, where Jumba finds Stitch and he says he's waiting for his family and Jumba says that he doesn't have any, and then Stitch looks so broken and he says something like, "Maybe...I could..." I don't know who could resist feeling the urge to hug Stitch during this scene.

-When Stitch takes The Ugly Duckling book and is leaving the room and Lilo tells him that he can leave if he wants to, but she'll remember him, just like she remembers everyone that leaves.

I guess that's probably why the movie appeals to so many people; everyone can relate to it and is touched by the feelings of the characters. You get involved in the story because you feel for them and everything.

this is one of my favorite movies, i especially like the part where Lilo is teaching Stitch how to act like Elvis

Hey, newbie here.



Just thought I'd throw in my two cents concerning Lilo and Stitch because it's so damn amazing



My favourite hilarious scene would have to be the construction and destruction of San Francisco (I think it was anyway :P) in Lilo's bedroom. That has me laughing every time. Also the bit where Stitch throws the book in Cobra Bubble's face. It's so unexpected it's hilarious.



The O'hana message is fantastic. Useful too.



My brother was going to go into town with his friends at some point and I needed to do something in there too, so I asked if I could go with him. 20 minutes after agreeing he'd forgotten and simply walked out the door. I got prepared to go out and locked up the house and caught up with him at the bottom of the road.

"O'hana means family", I said, "family means nobody gets left behind... or forgotten."



He felt really guilty after that. ^_^

Cute movie.



I am going to have to go with "The Lion King" and "Mulan" as my favorite Disney movies though.

I've wanted to see this film for a while after seeing so many comments on it from various sources. I'm really glad I waited to watch it with my girlfriend though, 'cause she looked after me when I was crying my eyes out!



Great film, and it's definitely one we'll be adding to our collection.

Here is a very lovely page full of goodies about Lilo and Stitch and the people who created them and brought them to life. Lots of interviews and fun facts. I found it to be a very interesting and fun read.



Hee, it also offered more proof that Stitch is gay.

Oh this is great, I just read that page, I didn't know anything about Lilo & Stich really until now. I had seen images of them, but no clue what it is about. It sounds perfectly ridiculous. Hee, I must see this.

they are making a sequal to lilo & stitch called just "stitch" its about how he's project 626 or something i can't remember, and they're like "what happened to the other 625?" so maybe they'll be bunch of stitches. i dunno, just thought i'd pass along the information if anyone was interested

I've been tripping from sipping the dripping dirty water tap.

[Cicca]

Ahhhhhhhhhh, this just twigged in my head. I seem to remember hearing something about a possible Lilo and Stitch tv show. Which would be fun, but I don't see how they can keep up their production values. Oh well!



I need to get my dvd back... I lent it to a 5 year old.

[maudmac]

Supposedly, the TV show and the straight-to-video sequel are both scheduled for the fall. There's some conflicting information out there, including the idea that they might also be working on two sequels. Who knows?



According to this article, the straight-to-video sequel and TV series were planned even before Lilo & Stitch was released in theaters.



TV Tome has a page about this stuff with synopses of the series and the sequel. According to this site, the sequel is to be released in August.



I'm not believing any specific details until something official comes out, but at least it's clear that a sequel and TV series are coming.



I really, really hope they don't suck.

A sequel and a TV show? Wow. I knew they were making the Stitch movie, but I didn't know about the TV show. However, Disney really isn't known for the quality of their sequels, so I'm a little skeptical. I mean, Stitch is awesome, but I don't know if he can save a bad Disney sequel. Well, we'll see.

Chris Sanders himself is gay, isn't he? That's what my girlfriend told me. . .



And there's an advert for the sequel on the DVD. . . So that wouldn't be too hard to find, for most of you. . .

hey! I loved the movie. Even my younger siblings. They love it to the point that when my elder sis brought the dvd for them, all they ever did for a week or two was watch it two or three times a day! i was scared the dvd player will wear off from too much stitch!



it was good that it didn't. however, if it did, well, the dvd player would have had a happy death.

part of forever is better than none

[voxanglsm]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Chris Sanders is gay. I watched that interview/making thing on the DVD and yeah, lots of gayness happening there. One of the guys was calling another one dear or darling or something. But yeah, if he's straight, then I'm...something I'm not. Straight, there we go.



Oh, and the little ad on the DVD for Stitch was really vague. Disney seems to be pretty good at that. Having a good size commercial and leaving you wondering what it's about. I'll probably still rent it, though.

Well this thread persuaded me to buy this movie and of course I could not find it anywhere till yesterday. I watched it and it is definitely the most unlike Disney movie I have ever seen. It was really odd, but much fun. I need to watch it again for sure. Both Lilo and Stitch are utterly adorable. Both in looks and in deeds, even when they are being mean. The looks they give when they are hurt are so heartbreaking.

I cracked up when Lilo puts his fingernail on the record and opens his mouth and out blasts Elvis. That was so ridiculous.

The one eyed alien looked really cute in drag and yeah he and that other alien are *so* a couple. This was a really nice movie about friendship and family, without being preachy about it, the main characters are utterly likeable especially because they are naughty as well. Stitch looks awesome, so cute, and really sweet and vulnerable when four of his little arms are handcuffed and he droops his ears.



I think I will go watch it again today.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but the character is so cutely the actor. Kevin McDonald, known from the wonderful Canadian Kids in the Hall. Ring a bell?



Here's a list of characters he played on Kids in the Hall. Many of them are gay. Or in drag. Because that's how KitH does it.

Hee, thanks for the info sprhrgrl. It is funny how most of the characters look so much like the actors that give them a voice, and that includes all the aliens.

I watched it again and the second time around was better. Stitch is impossibly cute and nasty. What's not to love.

I must way I really love the hula as well now, heh, it is so beautiful, so natural. I love the song as well, I don't have a clue what they are singing but it sounds really nice, no harsh sounds, it just flows, like the dance. Very hypnotic almost.



I'm glad I got the DVD so I can watch the extras. I loved the movietrailers. Especially the one where he comes crashing down with the chandelier in Beauty and the Beast. Belle's huffy "I'll be in my room" and "get your own movie" complete with that little insulted toss of the head are priceless.

Here's a story about the lyrics to those songs. Edited to add: This page at the Kamehameha Schools website has English translations for "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" and "He Mele No Lilo."



I love hula. Especially the more traditional form, Kahiko, which always gives me goosebumps...or chicken skin as the locals would say. Besides being beautiful, it has such a rich history. It's not just dancing at all. The 40th annual Merrie Monarch Festival was just last month. I'd love to see that in person some day, but, whoa, there's about a ten year waiting list for tickets.

Heh, Stitch! The Movie. I think I'd be afraid to watch it in case it's really bad and taints the original for me. 'Cause that would really suck.

If it has an exclamation point, it should really be a musical.



I was looking for a Stitch emoticon, but all I found was this one instead.



It's said to be 64 minutes long.

Buying...? Well. We'll see!



If Stitch is bratty then I don't see how I can be disappointed!

[urnofosiris]

Well I am pretty wary about Disney sequels, so far the ones I have seen have been very disappointing compared to their predecessors. However, I like the premise of this movie and I have just seen the trailer and it looked promising. I hope his 625 cousins won't get in the way of Stitch's screentime too much, because I just cannot imagine it can go wrong if Stitch is in the driver's seat.

In the meantime, I can go see Finding Nemo again. Woo!
