@@darflexswolez2266 actually, some are parents! I have 3 kids and they all watched this movie when they were little. My son has his daughter when he was 22 and my daughter just had her son and she is 20. So now my granddaughter that is 2 has watched this movie already.
Your comment made me cry because my faith has been fading so bad this last few years and I needed a sign to go back, thank you, you don't know how much this means to me
I was in the kamehameha schools childrens choir when I was in 4th-6th grade and now my son is in the choir right now.The choir just sounds amazing and the director is still directing today ❤
God the nostalgia just makes me want to break down in tears, how much I miss being a kid I can not describe and the sad thing is we didn’t know we were making memories we’d cherish for the rest of our lives. It might just be because I’m older now but the movies and stories felt much more real and well written back then.
I'm also an adult who grew up watching Lilo and Stitch and I always loved those two songs He mele no Lilo and Hawaiian rollercoaster ride. Watching Lilo and Stitch makes me want to visit Hawaii some day and listening to the music makes me wanna learn the language so I can sing along.
_He Mele No Lilo_ & _Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride_, as sung by the Kamehameha Schools' Children's Chorus and Mark Keali'i Ho' Omalu. Hawaiians should be very proud of their heritage and culture. It is very beautiful.
I am so very happy that the traditional language of the islands is forever documented. The kids are great and Mark Kealiʻi Hoʻomalu's voice is one of the most relaxing ever.
Love the guy doing the Stitch voice at the end, but this must have been filmed well before the movie was released so to those kids he's just a weird guy doing a weird voice haha.
I absolutely adore Lilo and Stitch, every time I watch it I fall in love over and over again with its amazing portrayal of the native Hawaiian language, story, animation, and lovely message about family, and despite all the times I’ve seen this movie I can’t ever prepare myself to not cry during it.
That's Kumu Bright (director of the Choir) who still teaches music and continues as the director till this day ❤ These kids are now about 30-33 years old.
I remember seeing the footage of them singing in the extra clips on Lilo and Stitch and they look like they're having a blast here and in the footage. Nevermind they sound beautiful and just awesome.
I love the Kamehameha choir, most of their traditional songs come from and are about inner strength. Even sad songs sound so strong, Polynesian cultures are for lack of a better phrase a wonderful and beautiful people. I wish my words could do more justice.
It makes me so emotional to listen to. Reminds me of childhood, the beauty of nature, rich gorgeous culture. So nostalgic and iconic, i have Lilo and Stitch on VHS. Still one of my favorite movies of all time
Genesis Gordo that’s Mark Ho’omalu, a respected kumu hula (teacher of hula) He has a studio in Oakland California. You should check out his music on iTunes.
They are from Kamehameha school on Oahu named after King Kamehameha which came long before dragon ball . My name is Hoku, you'll never guess who I'm always compared to lol.
I've always loved this from Lilo & Stitch and never knew this video was here! I'm going to my room to cry and then the kids won't think Mum's lost the plot completely 😭😭😭
This was so friggin BEAUTIFUL! It seriously brought a tear to my eye...those kids singing, smiling and having a blast. Not to sound too cliche, but there's so much power and soul in ALOHA, I love it.
I was 6 years old in 2002 and I have been wanting to go to Hawaii ever since I watched Lilo and Stitch. I'm turning 25 this year and I still want to go. It would be a dream come true if I ever went, I'm from Europe.
They were amazing but they are all now grown up and parents themselves singing this song well teaching it to their children and their children will all now fall in love with this song because they can show their kids this video and say that was me when I was a little boy or a little girl and they will be stunned that they were the ones who got to sing Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride!!! Wow!!! Such an amazing song still!!!
I remember watching this as a child when it came out and it brings memories. I also had the chance in high school to be able to learn Tahitian it was for a while ,but it makes a beautiful impact in your life. Kind like letting go and enjoying the beauty of it all . I wish I still danced :( it only lasted for 1-3 months 🥺. I sort of miss my child hood too
Oh to be a young child in a Hawaiian choir in 2001 about to be in one of the biggest animated films of all time...This movie came out when I was 4 years old...now I’m 22 & looking back really makes me emotional. Not sure why. Times just don’t feel how they used to now a days ..
10 years ago... how crazy, it feels like yesterday that I watched the Lilo and Stitch movie and loved that song so much. These children have become adults, how can time go by so quickly? I can't believe this song has been out for over 10 years. What nostalgia...
Reminds me of being a little keiki. I was around 7 dancing hula when this movie came out. Literally in tears of how long it’s been since the release of this movie.
From Navajo, to Cherokee, to Hawaiian, etc, it truly swells my heart with pride to see beautiful indigenous culture honored. Even if the topic of Hawaiian state ship is still controversial, I truly admire and love our Hawaiian brothers and sisters as a continental American. Such beautiful art that we are so lucky to display as apart of our country.
i'm here because 1. I love this song. and 2. 1:38 was featured in another video that i saw and i almost dropped my phone because the choir lady has very similar features to my mom. Like i thought it was her for a moment. My mom passed away a little over a month ago so this was sad and nice to see at the same time because my mom loved to sing as well and she was wonderful at it.
La película de Lilo y stich la vi con mi primer hijo, el tenía 5 años ,ahora el tiene 23 y veo esto,y me transportó a sus años de infancia, y de lo importante que es estar ahí, disfruten a sus hijos,jueguen,rían y valoren cada momento,los hijos crecen y nunca los veremos igual,realmente lloré con este vídeo.
Believe it or not, I’m in that choir. I didn’t sing the song but I’m apart of that choir, and to look back on it, it’s amazing and a side note, that teacher is still teaching. Her name is Mrs Bright
I was 4 years old when this movie came out. I’m 25 now. This beautiful song made my day and I can’t stop smiling as I rewatch this video over and over. The video is bringing back wonderful childhood memories and recent memories to my first first visit to Hawaii last May ( 2022 ).
These kids will always have this triumph under their sleeves when they grow up, I think their children and grandchildren will be so amazed seeing them participating in such a wonderful movie
Kids loved this music. The first one was dedicated to the last King of Hawaii. Kids love Kumu Mark, too. They are still singing and dancing to these pieces.
I’ve watched the movie and heard to this song millions of times. I remember the first time I watch it and it touched me deeply being young and I didn’t know why. I am a grown woman with kids now and we keep watching this movie. Is the first time I search for this on RUclips but every time I listen to it I imagine the exact same group of kids and is it makes me tear up because all of the emotions this brings in me. I love it , I hope my kids growing up hear this song and think of me. I love you boys :)
I remember how I always watch the BTS of L&S DVD when I was a child. I also even play games with it sadly i cant find my dvd anymore and i'm happy there are people who uploaded this in yt so thanks to you i am able to watch it again
I remember watching this as a 10 year old kid and now that im a dad watching this with my kids for their first time I teared up when Lilo entered the dance and my little one started dancing with her. Love this movie
Ok I’m not crazy when I teared up watching this my childhood flew by I just turned 34 this came out when I was 11-12 you don’t realize how small your childhood is compared to your whole life.
I remember being like 10 when these movies came out. This song brought me pure happiness then, and just got back from Maui and heard again in 2022.. Same feeling, pure joy!
I remember being a kid and listening so closely to the phonemes so i could sing along every time the song played at the beginning of the film. It just lifted my heart and continues to do so to this day. I remember feeling the magic of so many childhood things fading as i got older but not the feeling i get when i hear this song. Sometimes, magic refuses to fade from the important things.
I can't believe this was 2001/2002; those kids are now parents themselves singing that song with their children, how wonderful.
I don't think they are parents but I think they are in their early-mid 20s
Whats Up right?! I was 11 when this came out and now I’m a mother myself and singing this and playing this movie for my kids☺️
@@darflexswolez2266 actually, some are parents! I have 3 kids and they all watched this movie when they were little. My son has his daughter when he was 22 and my daughter just had her son and she is 20. So now my granddaughter that is 2 has watched this movie already.
Darflex Swolez I saw this when I was 10 these kids are most definitely married with kids by now. I’m 29 now.
@@j4zzh4nds were is your cousin then?
I don't know why but I feel like tearing up? Damn they're right, it -is- powerful when they sing...
Wherever you are, in every culture there is a strange connection between people and water
so true. in the entire movie, the most powerful songs are the ones with the children's choir singing.
me too
damn it me too. why
@@opsecsecurity Wow that is seriously true... That got me thinking 🤔 🌊 🌊 🌊. It's the "motion of the ocean."❤😊❤
Now I’m crying! As my own choir director says, “We don’t know much about heaven, but something we know for sure is that there is singing and music.”
Amen!
Amen 🙏🏼!
Innocent children singing a beautiful written song, nothing more pure, nothing closer to heaven
Your comment made me cry because my faith has been fading so bad this last few years and I needed a sign to go back, thank you, you don't know how much this means to me
I was in the kamehameha schools childrens choir when I was in 4th-6th grade and now my son is in the choir right now.The choir just sounds amazing and the director is still directing today ❤
Although I was not in the choir at this time
You are all amazing
Amazing that the tradition is still going! I wish I could learn from him too!
I wonder if it would be possible to have a reunion with these adults now ? I bet they would love it and the new sound would be amazing also.
Amazing!!
Let's not forget the teacher with the amazing energy that flows through these kids. These are the kind of teacher we need in every subject.
Did I mention that she is still at the school today? She has won the teacher of the year award for the elementary school this year!
wish I spoke hawaiian so beautiful
It's on duolingo now.
So it is an option for you mate ☺
I can only sing the hawaiin words in this song
It’s not super hard really. A lot of terms are quite easy to pick up
@@earlgrey243 :0
I love hawaiian language, it’s so beautiful

so true
I'm in my early 20s and I grew up watching Lilo and Stitch. Ever since I was a kid it has been a dream to go to Hawaii and it still is.
Vixikie, I’m 28, and I’m right there on that same road ( I’ve wanted to go to the Hawaiian islands ever since “ Lilo & Stitch “ was made )
My parents brought me there when I was 6. Most memorable trip ever. Hawaii and its culture is one of my favorite things about life.
hawaii really is heaven on earth, i can't wait to visit again :)
I'm 22 and I've still not forgotten the movie and its songs.
I'm also an adult who grew up watching Lilo and Stitch and I always loved those two songs He mele no Lilo and Hawaiian rollercoaster ride. Watching Lilo and Stitch makes me want to visit Hawaii some day and listening to the music makes me wanna learn the language so I can sing along.
_He Mele No Lilo_ & _Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride_, as sung by the Kamehameha Schools' Children's Chorus and Mark Keali'i Ho' Omalu. Hawaiians should be very proud of their heritage and culture. It is very beautiful.
And that choir director is still there and still directing to this day!

No they probably know they were singing a song for a movie.
LOL
zteevy dood yes but they probably never heard stitch talk that’s why.
@IlI ACE lIl okay 2 things number 1 this comment is like three years old and 2..... now that I think about it I see everyones point 🤗
I love it
I’m 24, I’ll be 25 in December. I cried like a damn baby watching this. I miss these times!

Same here buddy, same here.....
5
Same here too
@@matttress7218I don't think you should be here
2000’s 🎉🌈✨🎉

I wanna visit kauai in one day!
Agree. My most favourite kids movie ever!
That's Kumu Bright (director of the Choir) who still teaches music and continues as the director till this day ❤ These kids are now about 30-33 years old.
Absolutely precious. Gives me the chills every time I listen to it, and it brings back childhood memories. Powerful song indeed.
Jasmine Pierce awwwwww we’re both the same
This is one of Disney's songs that makes happy and teary-eyed. It's such a powerful song.
Also Tarzan’s soundtrack was gold as well
@Ideaz86 yess, absolutely. Phil Collins is everything
Same
Crazy to think I grew up listening to their voices 😭 thank you for this gem
Pretty awesome 🤩
why am I crying??? this is so precious
I remember seeing the footage of them singing in the extra clips on Lilo and Stitch and they look like they're having a blast here and in the footage. Nevermind they sound beautiful and just awesome.
I love the Kamehameha choir, most of their traditional songs come from and are about inner strength.
Even sad songs sound so strong, Polynesian cultures are for lack of a better phrase a wonderful and beautiful people.
I wish my words could do more justice.
They do justice!!!
ikr!
I just had to join in on the applause at the end there. They looked like they had so much fun!
This choir is savage for having that name
Literally so many things here in Hawaii are named after Kamehameha the Great.
Hell yeah haha
i thought it was DrangonBall Z Kai that they got the name from
Silent Swordsman it's not. it's a Hawaiian thing.
DarkFabled14731 no its not they are not savege that the name of the king in hawaii
This is the work of God. Absolutely beautiful. I'm crying. God bless these brave souls for the courage to perform this for Walt Disney.
It makes me so emotional to listen to. Reminds me of childhood, the beauty of nature, rich gorgeous culture. So nostalgic and iconic, i have Lilo and Stitch on VHS. Still one of my favorite movies of all time
Saw lilo and stitch twice in theaters when I was 4. I'm 20 now. I'll take it over the whole frozen madness
Children's choir!
Genesis Gordo that’s Mark Ho’omalu, a respected kumu hula (teacher of hula) He has a studio in Oakland California. You should check out his music on iTunes.
I always feel so happy when I hear this song. This was brilliant to watch. They did a great job, everyone involved.
What a bad ass choir name
They are from Kamehameha school on Oahu named after King Kamehameha which came long before dragon ball . My name is Hoku, you'll never guess who I'm always compared to lol.
I hope a star.
Honestly still badass.
Thats their school
You could've hurt their feelings. It's not nice.
Hawaiian songs sang by Hawaiian children of Hawaiʻi, proud Hawaiian forever!
I've always loved this from Lilo & Stitch and never knew this video was here! I'm going to my room to cry and then the kids won't think Mum's lost the plot completely 😭😭😭
This was so friggin BEAUTIFUL! It seriously brought a tear to my eye...those kids singing, smiling and having a blast. Not to sound too cliche, but there's so much power and soul in ALOHA, I love it.
Their songs with Mark’s voice never ceases to give me chills. You guys did such an amazing job with that movie!
That women who lead the children’s Corus on this songs….she’s amazing 🙏 massive respect for her.
She has been the director since 1989, and is still there directing the choir today.
This was AWESOME! I never knew little kids sang this! LOL! Stitch at the end. XD
This is soo precious.
I was 6 years old in 2002 and I have been wanting to go to Hawaii ever since I watched Lilo and Stitch. I'm turning 25 this year and I still want to go. It would be a dream come true if I ever went, I'm from Europe.
Lemme say that this is real talent and these kids nailed it!
And these 2 songs still remain my favourite disney songs!
Thank you for sharing this gem. It’s heartwarming to see the love, care, and dedication put into the music of Lilo and Stitch!
They were amazing but they are all now grown up and parents themselves singing this song well teaching it to their children and their children will all now fall in love with this song because they can show their kids this video and say that was me when I was a little boy or a little girl and they will be stunned that they were the ones who got to sing Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride!!! Wow!!! Such an amazing song still!!!
Who else has this on repeat? Makes me miss being a kid.
This song inspired me to learn Hawaiian , the lyrics are just so fascinating and that’s how my Hawaiian learning journey started 😎
I remember watching this as a child when it came out and it brings memories. I also had the chance in high school to be able to learn Tahitian it was for a while ,but it makes a beautiful impact in your life. Kind like letting go and enjoying the beauty of it all . I wish I still danced :( it only lasted for 1-3 months 🥺. I sort of miss my child hood too
This is my first time seeing this "Behind the scenes" bit; it's definitely a different seeing the kids perform than simply listening to them.
This brings back such memories. I remember watching this on the DVD for Lilo and stitch as a bonus feature.
The Creativity in this is insane love the kids choir it brings that awesome vibes
This is in my top ten of favorite songs from Disney movies. A huge part is because of this childrens choir.
Oh to be a young child in a Hawaiian choir in 2001 about to be in one of the biggest animated films of all time...This movie came out when I was 4 years old...now I’m 22 & looking back really makes me emotional. Not sure why. Times just don’t feel how they used to now a days ..
Okay but why does this make me wanna cry , this is so beautiful
This will always be my favourite Disney movie, and the best ever in my opinion. I miss those times
10 years ago... how crazy, it feels like yesterday that I watched the Lilo and Stitch movie and loved that song so much. These children have become adults, how can time go by so quickly? I can't believe this song has been out for over 10 years. What nostalgia...
Its really been about 20 years! That movie came out in 2002 I think
Reminds me of being a little keiki. I was around 7 dancing hula when this movie came out. Literally in tears of how long it’s been since the release of this movie.
After living in Hawaii, we feel so connected to the culture and beauty of Hawaii. My daughter was born on Oahu.

Truelly, a one-of-a-kind film that's culturally enriching and masterfully crafted. Amazing...
I don’t know why am I crying, this is just so emotional. This our childhood guys 😭🩷
Man that man's voice is unmistakable. And the children are angels to me 😇🪽
just precious I love this song
crazy how they casually created a masterpiece
When you listen those songs you can feel the way they were enjoying recording. The chorus are so so beautiful.
I cry when I listen to this song 😭
I remember how I always watch the BTS of L&S DVD when I was a child. I also even play games with it sadly i cant find my dvd anymore and i'm happy there are people who uploaded this in yt so thanks to you i am able to watch it again
This song makes me cry every time! So happy but so much emotion! I love the Hawaiian culture !!
I remember watching this as a 10 year old kid and now that im a dad watching this with my kids for their first time I teared up when Lilo entered the dance and my little one started dancing with her. Love this movie
I love this! I’m OBSESSED with Lilo and Stitch. It really is the little things that can make a movie a million times better. Thanks for posting!
Que viagem ao passado! Viajei mais de 15 anos no tempo. Para uma época sem preocupações, sem obrigações, com a pureza e a leveza de ser criança ❤️
of all the disney songs i love this one the most im glad i found this video.. i hope everyone in this video is living their happiest life!
Ok I’m not crazy when I teared up watching this my childhood flew by I just turned 34 this came out when I was 11-12 you don’t realize how small your childhood is compared to your whole life.
You guys save from doing something that I would probably regret tomorrow. Thanks for that.
OH MY GOD!! I remember seeing these clips on the Disney channel before the movie came out. Wow
Goosebumps!! I can’t believe it’s been years
One day we’ll all be reunited. One moment for those who didn’t make it to today but will forever be captured in our hearts
Great video it made me smile. Can’t wait for the reboot, but they’ll always be a place in my heart for the original.
The nostalgia... oh my heart😭
By far my favorite song from a Disney movie
Used this song for my canoe surf sesh on my ig lol i too love it 😂
I'll be visiting Hawaii in May my 1st time. I can't wait staying at wakaki beach in oahu. at Hale resort. I hope to vist aulani resort there
Flying by on the Hawaiian Rollercoaster ride! This song is really fantastic! Disney is so creative and amazing I’m so many ways!
I’ve watched this 10+ times. I love this video !
Rawr! Me like this song
These kids need to sing this song for the 2024 live action!
wow absolutely beautiful. I hope these kids grow up and become successful in whatever they do
I remember being like 10 when these movies came out. This song brought me pure happiness then, and just got back from Maui and heard again in 2022.. Same feeling, pure joy!
I remember being a kid and listening so closely to the phonemes so i could sing along every time the song played at the beginning of the film. It just lifted my heart and continues to do so to this day. I remember feeling the magic of so many childhood things fading as i got older but not the feeling i get when i hear this song. Sometimes, magic refuses to fade from the important things.
