Lilo & Stitch
(Reviewed June 21, 2002)
-
Funny, frantic, offbeat and actually touching, this is a warm-wacky-'n'-wonderful Disney animated movie that boys and girls both would love if they saw it (although getting boys into theatres to see a movie with a little Hawaiian girl as its main character might be tough).
Stitch, a genetic-experiment warrior creature created by an alien "mad scientist," escapes to earth and is adopted by lil' Lilo, a fellow outcast misfit. Their resulting bond is predictable, sure, but done so well that you never once feel like gagging. And -- THANK GOD -- this is NOT another Disney musical. (Disney seems to have beaten the cartoon-musical genre to death, and may it rest in peace.) "Lilo & Stitch"'s songs are provided by Elvis Presley, which shows just how quirky the movie is.
As of June 21, this is one of my top-five favorite movies of 2002. Go. Take the family. Take somebody else's family. You'll love it!
