Been meaning to talk about Lilo and Stitch for months now. It's refreshing to talk about a good film every so often here on the channel. Enjoy and lemme know what you all think!
As a UK citizen the words princess, drama and broken family are pretty common lol.
I like the first movie and the first few seasons but after the original Creator said that he wanted it to end and Disney wouldn't let it so they decided to keep running it and ruined the series it just went downhill there is a misunderstanding in the series & stitch thought that Lilo destroyed family and left him all alone so he went to Japan or China or something like that and met another girl and apparently like 15 years later he goes back to Hawaii or something like that and sees lilo's daughter and they're just like oh hey it's stitch I wonder where he was like nothing ever f****** happened or like they just figured he left one day and didn't even try looking for him
I enjoyed the film in my childhood.
@@EJ._goon To each their own
Yeah we all love good films but we love it when you watch incoherent abominations now review cool cat saves the kids
"taking pictures of fat people for her collection weird" actually, in a deleted scene it's relvealed that she is doing this as a revenge againts tourists, because they treat her as a spectacle and "exotic local" instead of as a person. So she's doing the same to them
@Salty but the finished movie gives us no other explanation as to why she takes pictures of people, and of tourists specifically
@@TheLeafcuter that is a good explanation, but I think leaving it as an ambiguous quirk is a good move too

I can actually see that happening! Especially, if you're an actual local and not a Park employee. Just imagine if zoo animals could use cameras. 😆
'Pudge controls the weather'
She feeds the fish sandwiches cause her parents died in a rainstorm, and she doesn't want to lose Nani too
Charlie Louise Never made that connection before. Hooooly shit 🥺🥺🥺
It was later discovered that Pudge is actually a bio experiment created by Jumba that does in fact control the weather
@@LuckoDaStars Whuuuuuuuuuut???
Good luck stopping rain in Kauai : )
@@LuckoDaStars You know they are just making this up as they go along, right?
"Talking alien koala dog" is the best description for stitch that I never knew I needed
For you, AR right
Agreed. Stitch is my fav. I love him
And he was inspired by koalas🤷🏽♀️
Makes it better when you remember that Nani called Stitch a koala
"An evil koala"
I just realized that scene of stitch going out in the woods and saying lost was him copying the character in the book hoping his “family” would come find him I WANT TO HUG HIM
Lol
One thing I really love is that the movie shows details in the background of what Nani had to sacrifice to take care of Lilo. In Nani's bedroom, there's a surfboard, a dresser covered with trophies, and medals hanging on her wall, all implying that Nani had a history of being a professional surfer. Given she spends a lot of the film filling different job roles, it's suggested she had to retire from surfing sports after her parents' deaths because it wasn't financially sustainable.
Oof. I really gotta rewatch this movie.
Wow O-O
Really
You guys know how this franchise got a series well it got two different spinoff series one being a anime and the other being in China
Joezilla 101 what
When you watch the movie as a kid and it's a funny movie about a kid and an alien.
Then you watch it as an adult and it's a movie about a teenager trying to hold her life together after her parents die and then aliens come along and tear it all apart despite her going beyond her best efforts and it becomes the saddest Disney movie ever.
I don't think I ever saw this movie as a simple funny story about a kid and an alien. I was the kind of kid who would read really deep into movies.
David was quite a good character, showing that a love interest can be so much more than "that person the main character is supposed to fall in love with." He loves this broken family, even when a date with Nani isn't on the table. He's more than a love interest: He's a man who loves this broken family, and gives of himself to them.
Stitch: "Ohana means family. Family means..."
Nani: "Nobody gets left behind."
Stitch: "Or forgotten. Yeah."
That part gets me every time. It's just after Stitch realizes all he wants is to be accepted as family and now sees the pain of Nani believing she had lost her only family left. So, Stitch empathizes with Nani, feels her pain, and realizes Lilo is family who is about to be forgotten. So, he says the line half-broken and not quite sure what will happen to Lilo or the family. And it's so uplifting and devastating at the same time. It's the turn into the final act and it's just perfect.
Ironic because Disney just drop their asses
yep
“This is my family. I found it all on my own. It’s little... and broken, but still good. Yeah, still good”
Too bad the OTHER animated Stitch series ruin everything.
@@killerkitten7534 great line
In fairness, Lilo's quirkiness makes her the most realistic child character in Disney history.
Indeed Iggy
geardog24 she’s wild she’s quirky she gets into fights and loves the strange and unusual. That’s a kid!
true
Not even an exaggeration
Why do I always see you everywhere?
Lilo & Stitch has my favorite line in any animated movie:
"Hello? Mr Bubbles? Aliens are attacking my house..
...I gotta go, my dog found the chainsaw."
I also admit a great love for Jumba's line of:
"Ohh! Hiding behind your little friend won't work anymore~! What did I tell you? We got fired this morning!"
It's just so whimsical and fun.
Its "nevermind, my dog found the chainsaw" which is even more funny
And when they went to the animal shelter Nani said that she wanted something sturdy and wouldn't die, then Lilo said " like a lobster" XD
@@10tailedbijuu indestructible pretty much, as he got ran over by a semi truck and LIVED

12:35 Jumba: "Now this is interesting."
Pleakly: "What?"
Jumba: "626 was designed to be a monster, but now, he has nothing to destroy. You see, I never gave him a 'greater purpose'. What must it be like to have nothing, not even memories to visit? In the middle of the night?"
That scene was hard to wrap my young head around. Still kind of is. But that's the beauty of the scene.
Justin Carawan bro that dialouge always hit me so hard.
It's like having amnesia, but being born directly into a mature state with no memories... that would kill me... like I would literally kill myself from simply not knowing who I am or what I could be. But, like Stitch, someone would find me and help me become a better person. And I have found that person who really brings out the best in me and I'd be lost without them
@@atomicreactor6033 Exactly. Lilo was the kind person that Stitch needed
@@DirectorOfChaos9292 And even though she got mad at him near the end of the movie, she never stopped caring. She just needed a bit of space to process that her best friend was more different in ways than she first thought. I think that love really solidified when Stitch came in to save her. I know hes indestructible, but he might as well have been sacrificing his own life to save her. In other words, without Lilo, our little bundle of blue, chaotic energy would have fallen into a depression that even the most qualified therapist in the world would be able to fix.
the irony of these "failed" experiments is that they are underated gems, the emperors new groove is terrific, funny, and rememberable, treasure planet was terrific, excellent art animation and design a movie ahead of its time, similar to atlantis, but i remember this one better.
and a comment u mention the backgrounds being gorgeous, they were made with water color, you do not see that kinda work in animation anymore, heck it was even rare when this movie did it,
and the series has its charm, but lacks the same impact the movie did, but 625 is a gem in that series,
True👌😎
Black Cauldron.
kawaii-jessica The wild thing is that Emperor’s New Groove was supposed to be apparently more dark and dramatic (I believe the plot was like Princess and the Pauper), but Disney played chicken by taking the goofy approach since they feared it would be “too much” for the audience. Some of the original songs from that idea are still around and on RUclips.
"Lilo and Stitch was a Godsend to Disney."
*Turns head to look at four movies, three TV series, and several specials*
You don't say lol
Andrew Gilbertson the genius marketing campaign of stitch “sabotaging” most of their classics helped too
And the anime...
@@Mattriix we don't speak of that.
There are two anime. A Chinese one and a Japanese one. They're the other two series. Both have been dubbed in English in some fashion
Not only that but they are all great apart from the animes
"Even though it came out 20 years ago"
Please stop reminding me that I'm getting old.
For me it feels even worse because my family went to disney just a few years earlier... and went on the animation tour.... the guide showed us some storyboards of to girls sitting on a bed talking to each other..... he insisted that they were sisters and not mother and daughter.... it was lilo and stitch. funny looking at the storyboards and what little information they gave about it then, I didn't think I would be interested.... but now? its one of my favorites.
I know that feeling bro lol ✋
I freaking know right
I was 9 years old when this film came out!😭 And still love it to this day!
I feel old!😭😭
I love seeing more appreciation for Lilo and Stitch! Everyone made such a big deal about how Frozen was so different because it was the"first" love story from Disney that wasn't about romantic love. But, Lilo and Stitch had already done it and with very complex and multifaceted characters. I especially have a lot of love for Nani. She is such a strong and determined character.
Exactly! And it was the first (or maybe one of the few) Disney movies to not feature a villain or an explicit romance subplot as a cheap plot device. Lilo and Stitch also portrays a far more realistic and relatable sister relationship.
I feel some of the hype for Frozen was just from the mandated corporate ad campaign hype train, and not from the qualities of the movie itself
David is a great character, too. Nani and David are written so well. The entire movie 💕
Japanese localization: What is the older sister's name?
Disney: Nani

Treasure Planet & Altantis: The lost empire needs to be talked about underrated Disney classics
To be honest, I love the 4 movie run of New Groove, Atlantis, Lilo and Stitch, and Treasure Planet. It was great to see such new styles coming out of Disney. I could have used less of Martin Short in Treasure Planet, but it's a small nit-pick. As someone that grew up smack in the middle of the Disney Renaissance, it really opened my eyes as to what was possible in Western Animation, it didn't have to be all princesses and fairy tales.
Atlantis is one of my favs too, New Groove too, it got really fun in my county`s dub
This was during Disney's "experimental" era of making animated films without any musical numbers or fairy tale aspects and it deserves more credit than it already does.
I also love Atlantis and consider Kida an underrated Disney princess.
they're not underrated, they just didn't do well at the boxoffice. most people think they were great movies.
@@NizzyTV In Disney's eyes, if it didn't do well in the box office, then they're failures. That's why the studio won't acknowledge them the same way they would to their animated classics.
Hearing How John Lassater Hated Chris and how trash talking him was among the ways he pushed Spirited Away to win the Oscar and he fired him. Yeah, that's another Grim Grim Reminder of how not so of an nice guy he was. But Hey These events led to the creation of How To Train Your Dragon Serise.
I actually didn't know that about John. Just when I thought I couldn't hate the guy more.
But still Sprit Away did earn it.
Chris is the best
Well not everything is all what they seem to be. Someone can be the nicest person on earth but be careful because behind that nice person is a monster in sheep's clothing.
Wait, I knew Chris left before he could finish Bolt, but where did all this come from? I mean the rumours?
Could you start a short character analysis series? I would love to hear your thoughts on David, as I feel he doesn’t get enough credit for being one of the BEST love interests despite not having much screen time.
He is so in love with Nani without her dysfunctional family. He KNOWS that she is basically a “single mother” looking after her younger sibling. He KNOWS that she is broke and struggling just to make ends meet. And he KNOWS that she isn’t ready for a relationship. Despite that, he stays by Nani’s side and supports her through everything. Even if he can’t get a piece of action. That is such genuine selflessness for someone you care about and I really believe this movie represents what family should be. He is a guy that isn’t just cut and paste like the majority of Disney love interests, and actually puts realistic goals/dreams on the line to keep the women he loves.
I would love to hear your personal take on this or other characters; you’re great at capturing what makes them successful.

@@the_criminal_mastermind A MiB looking character with the voice mannerisms of Morphius from The Matrix
Ahh a product of its time.
I'm sure people might have mentioned this already, but the "big head Jumba" at the end is actually the result of the scene needing to be reanimated after Jumba got a character model update and then running out of time/funds to fix all of it. The original scene was deemed too violent. If I remember correctly, you can hear the animators or directors talking about this scene in one of the films bonus features and there might be even more changes/inconsistencies when it comes to that scene in particular. (I think I recall subtle differences to the house's exterior or some such? Might be misremembering that though.)
Excellent review! It's so disheartening that Chris Sanders was pushed out of Disney, because I really feel like his artistic style and direction really worked it's best there with the other Disney employees he worked with. Nothing against his work at Dreamworks, but I just don't feel that it has the same level of polish and cohesion that Lilo and Stitch pulled off. Either way, this movie is amazing and it's a miracle it was even made in the first place.
Honestly all of the “experimental” films Disney released that Saberspark mentioned are all some of my childhood favorites. Yes, Dinosaur included
A man of culture, I see.
I got both a Dinosaur and Emperors New Groove VHS for my 8th birthday and was SO EXCITED! I truly loved both of these films growing up

IKR I Love L&S Cause The Body Types Are Realistic
The somewhat realistic look most of the humans had really helped the aliens look even more alien,if that makes sense. And I was all for it.
The "ugly duckling" moment made me cry as a kid like a lil bitch I was
I love your profile
Your profile’s fucking legendary
omg same! I watched this in the theaters and was blinded with tears when Stitch yelled, "I'm lost!"
For me it was when Nani sings Liloh the hawaian song.
Although the ugly duckling part was cute, the movie completely misses the point of the book by focusing only on the lost part. The duckling itself wasn't just lost, it was mocked and disowned by its family, who alone despised him for his appearance.However, he grew up to be a beautiful swan despite his rough upbringing. Are You My Mother better fits the idea of being lost rather than the Ugly Duckling.
Title: Lilo amd Stitch is a masterpiece
Me without hearing any of his points: This is absolute truth, this man is god he is right Lilo and Stitch is the besf disney movie to ever-

"I know that's why you wreck things and push me."
There's always an iceberg effect with bad or weird behavior. What you see on the surface, above the waterline is obscuring something else, something deeper, where the rest of the iceberg lies submerged several feet below.
I love this movie. It really knows how to balance the tone in being funny and dramatic, with Lilo, Stitch and Nani being amazing characters, gorgeous animation and great soundtrack.
Also, Nani is hot as hell.
A normal Guy Extra *THICC*
Whoever thinks Elastigirl is the thiccest character has never seen Nani.
Nani?? Nani is hot!
Yeah... ya'll check out Cracked's article on Lilo and Stitch's main animator guy.
Nani is thicc asf though
That "I'm lost" scene nearly had me tearing up. I've actually been feeling lost for a while.
That scene always gets me, probably because everyone has had to deal with it at some point in life.
*hug*
OMG I actually started crying at that part the last time I watched it. I'm almost 32 fucking years old crying about a fictional blue alien. I have done that twice this year for two different blue alien characters. 😭
Anyone remember the straight to DVD sequel called Lilo and Stitch: Stitch has a glitch where Stitch almost fucking died? Messed me up as a kid
Also theres other series with Stitch but without Lilo. She's grown up, had a kid, got busy with life and Stitch ran away to Japan and befriended another little girl. And then there's a series in China(?) with another little girl. One of the series is canon (the Japanese anime iirc) and the Chinese one is non canon
That Japan one is sad
it's an anime spinoff
The Chinese one is called stitch and Ai (it’s not great)
@@madisonzeno4957 Yeah I remember seeing a trailer for it and it was....something.

There's a much better reasoning behind this behavior that adds a lot to Lilo's character, but like... you're technically not wrong
Well I'm intrigued.
It has something to do with them being tourists, yeah?
Yeah, I remember there was a reason, but I can’t remember what it was.
I do remember that she feeds Pudge the fish sandwichs because she thinks he controls the weather and her parents died during a storm.
@@xedusk There's a deleted scene where Pudge The Fish was eaten by seagulls and this was caused by Stitch. She was upset about it that this is a reminder that Pudge is the one who control the weather. This scene made Stitch a monster but I'm glad that deleted scene deserve that it was justified. I think Pudge the Fish is the most interesting and important element in the movie.
@@xedusk
All the times I've watched that movie and I never made that connection about Pudge! 😮
As a person born and raised in Hawaii, I also wanna mention that the pidgin is Legit. Lilo doesn't have it, but Nani and David sound SO LOCAL!
If I'm not mistaken they're local actors. Tia Carrera was born in Honolulu and Jason Scott Lee went Pearl City high.
@@yaminozomi6557 Exactly. Also a lot of extras. Like the guys who run over stitch in the beginning.
The voice of Lilo was Daveigh Chase. She played Samara and voiced the main character of Spirited Away.
@@CarlJohnson-tw2yp yeah. She wasn't local so she no can talk pidgin.
@@CarlJohnson-tw2yp You mean Chihiro? Also she played in one of the last Beethoven the Saint Bernard movies that was made.
“There isn’t really a villain”

People over this movie are like. We gots to have a villain so the little kids know who to boo at because there dumb little shits. Real quote from some higher up.
Technically even he wasn't a villian.
Was just an employee following orders.
@Ethan Kellerman Yes, but still he wasn't doing it to be bad, he was doing it to get back in the good graces of the Councilwoman. He was fired for not being able to handle the Experiment 326 situation and thought if he captured Stitch and brought him back to the Councilwoman his failure would be forgiven.
YaBoyTroy357 he was following the law
@@StarryStarryNocturne I can't believe they still haven't given the Grand Councilwoman a name.
The Jumba size thing was the strangest thing about the movie. I think I heard somewhere that Jumba had a lot of his scenes redrawn for being too violent. That might be one reason.
It was.
Here's a clip of it: ruclips.net/video/x6-L5TNXKXo/видео.html

@@triplechinnn4726 Mmm....is be careful around that "teddy bear" if I were you.
Lol
something is happening in replies and I don't like it D:
16:17 Hey there, Saberspark! Just wanted to address the point you make here.
The reason for the inconsistent character proportions bothered me too when I saw it as a kid. It wasn't until much later that I learned that this was actually due to some last minute changes made to the film.
The scenes where Jumba's head size is noticeably different were done real quick by another animation studio (in either Korea or Canada, I can never remember exactly). The scenes had to be changed due to some content being deemed too ... shall we say, risky - to show in theaters.
The scenes in question are
1) Where Jumba invades Lilo and Nani's house, he uses his blaster a LOT more often than we see in the original film. They change some of the scenes where he is shooting stitch on the ceiling to throwing plates through the ceiling. Additionally, during the "hot potato" portion of this scene, the original cut of the film had Stitch tearing the stove off the wall and opening the gas line. When Jumba pointed the blaster at Stitch, Stitch grinned maliciously, and the house went Kablooy as soon as Jumba pulled the Trigger. You can understand why this could have been seen as imitatable, and therefore was edited rather hastily.
2) the second scene where Jumba is really inconsistent were the scenes in the Big Red Battleship. Originally, instead of being an alien spaceship, Jumba Pleakly and the gang comandeered a Boeing 747. Then, as they pursued Captain Gantu, they flew the 747 through downtown Honolulu (later changed to be a mountain range). With the theatrical release set to come out in early 2002, and with the tragity of 9/11 just in the rear view, Disney understandably had to change anything remotely pretaining to Jumbo Jets and Cityscapes.
I hope this clears up the issue for you, and helps you understand why the movie has this one rather glaring Issue. This is one of my favorite films of all time, and I am so glad you did it justice in your analysis. Thank you!
I knew of the second one but the first one is quite interesting to know as well! Thanks for sharing this info with us
Maybe Jumba is made of jelly and he shrinks and grows at will.
@@cintronproductions9430 I assumed something like that too. Stitch seems rather rubbery in certain parts of the movie like when he gets hit by the truck or pulls in his extra arms, so I thought it was a property inherent to the aliens and they all had less concrete forms than the humans.
12:41 dude stop, you're gonna make me hug my Stitch plushies while I cry
what i loved about it was how realistic nanis body was like they weren’t trying to give her the “ideal” body type and i’m sure a lot of people appreciated that growing up
12:21 It's funny that you bring up the point of being lost. In Olelo Hawaii, Hawaiian language, Lilo means "to be lost". The theme of being lost is the single most prevailing thing about this movie. Lilo feels lost in society. Nani feels lost in her role in the family. Stitch is literally alienated. Even Jumba at the end is lost for words when his creature is not following his programing.
It is quite ironic that the destructive alien creature Experiment 626 was given the name "Stitch". Maybe Lilo realized he wasn't quite a dog and called him Stitch because he was "stitched up". Little did she know that he would find his place and repair her broken family. Each time I see this film I always learn something new from it and that is a true sign of what a masterpiece is.
Basically "Lilo and Stitch" can translate to "To be lost and put together again". ;_; damn...
I like your theory on Stitch's name. It's something I've wondered about and couldn't come up with an explanation other than him being put together from a number of different alien types.
Every time I see that scene where Plekely makes Jumba miss when trying to shoot Stitch, I can't help but wonder if that stray plasma beam hit someone.
Probably the fat guy's ice cream.
@@GabrielArchon Y'know what? It probably did...
Poor guy turned into the series running gag.
@@chaoscontroller316 He's like the cabbage salesman in Avatar: the Last Airbender
@@GabrielArchon he just cant catch a break can he?
That scene with Stitch hurting after Lilo's outburst still makes me teary eyed to this day, it's one of the few scenes in any film or TV show that can make me emote so visibly.
Also, whoever designed Stitch, not the idea of him as an alien experiment, but him as some hybrid of a dog and koala who can talk, deserves a fucking Nobel prize, I don't know what it is about his design but there is something there that is beyond amazing to me!
"Lilio & Stitch is a masterpiece"
In other breaking news water is wet
When I first saw Lilo and Stitch I thought this was like no other Disney film. And I loved every minute of it. Who've thought a grounded Hawaiian story and Sci-fi mixed pretty well. Lilo is Cute, Nani is Best Girl, and Stitch is a Rad Wild One.
"Elvis is not dead, he just went home." - K
Hahaha a men in back reference, I'm so cool for getting that ^_^.
Emperor's New Groove: Amazing
Atlantis: Fantastic
Treasure Planet: Absolutely wonderful
Dinosaur:
Lilo & Stitch: Masterpiece
Despite what the box office numbers were, the early 2000s gave us some great movies that deserved a lot more love.
Everytime I watch this movie, I can't help but cry at 10:07, or when Stitch screams in the forest waiting for his family to find him, those part get me everytime.
Once I decided to watch all the movies and the animater series, when I got to the one with the new girl I was a little worried that it wouldn't be as good as the others, then I saw the riunion between Stitch and Lilo and all the story behind they're initial separation... I think I almost drowned in my own tears at that point, I'm easily moved by those kind of scenes, that ending killed me😂
I think "Lilo&Stich" is one of the best movie of my childhood, every movie and every serie is part of one of the most beautiful story Disney ever created.
Its ironic that pleaklys voice actor is also the voice actor for the purple tallest from invader zim
When I first heard his voice, I thought it was Don Knotts who voiced Pleakley.
Yeah it's also ironic that apparently the grudge girl voiced lilo
I figured that. As soon as I heard the voices of the Tallest I though "huh sounds awfully alot like Pleakly"
@@hierarchyofmood1220 She played Samara in The Ring. 📼
Easy to mix them up though
Is "ironic" the right term?
My favorite moment/line from this movie is when Nani try’s to take stitch back to the shelter Nani : “ he hasn’t even been here that long!” Lilo “ NEITHER HAVE I!” It’s a very emotional gut punch of a line
3:05 Dinosaur’s opening scene is actually a really interesting as it shows how much our understanding of Dinosaurs has changed in the last two decades. It depicted an egg being stolen by a dinosaur at the time famously thought to do that as its main food source, but now we know those eggs were actually from its own nest, and it was protecting them
All said and done, this is probably my favorite Disney film of the 2000s. It truly is a masterpiece of storytelling.
Something I feel is lost about Lilo is that she is a child genius. We focus on the weird aspects of her interests but those interests are very advanced for her age. She has an interest in photography, she knows about art and Picasso ("that's from my blue period"), sci-fi and monster movies, the occult and even needlework because she made her own doll. Compare this to Mertle and her friends who seem like typical girls their age liking barbie dolls and junk.
Thats society for ya bud
This has the best exchange of dialogue in any Disney movie:
Lilo: Did you ever kill anyone?
Mr. Bubbles: **pregnant pause** We're getting off the subject.
It says Cobra on your knuckles
How do you pause in a pregnant manner?
P-... Pregnant pause? Like, an abortion?
Guys, a pregnant pause means that it's long.
@@schrodingers_shrimp ohhh okay makes more sense lol
Dont forget about Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch has a Glitch. I feel like it is honestly one of the strongest sequels I've seen. However, that might be up to personal opinion. It seems to keep the characters pretty similar to how they were in the first film, although some of the plot seems a bit forced. An interesting watch none the less. Great video btw!!
Lilo and Stitch 2 was honestly disappointing. While it tries to retain the heart and charm of the first movie, it shoots itself in the foot thanks to contrived storytelling and a cop out ending that's out of place for something like Lilo and Stitch.
I will say though, the other two straight to video sequels and the tv series were pretty solid.
There's another Disney film about broken family : Treasure Planet.
I’d be curious to hear your opinion on Brother Bear. I feel like it falls into the “unusual” category for Disney and is so underrated
Brother Bear is fine... if you ignore the "hip" lingo they overuse.
I made the mistake of watching this movie when my parents were getting a divorce. Never do that.
😭😭😭
Maybe was a little awkward, but don't feel guilty for that happening
Kiki Citrine It made me feel better
Lilo and Stitch was one of the few good Disney movies that was released during my childhood (I was born in 98) and it will always be one of my favourites!
This has always been one of my most favorite Disney films ever since it first premiered. The characters are all enjoyable to watch, whether it's for the comedy, action, or drama, especially for the main trio. I also find it fascinating whenever a story combines realistic issues with fantastical elements, which can add a nice bit of spice to your story. When done well, of course.
Also, I absolutely love the art direction in this movie. The watercolors emphasize the tropical environment of the Hawaiian islands well, the alien ships are unique in shape, and the character designs are especially amazing. Regarding the humans, the roundness gives them some great flair with a sense of weight and realism to the mix, and they can pull off amazing expressions, whether they be subtle or exaggerated. The alien designs are also spectacular with their versatile shapes and proportions, as well as their resemblance to animals (Stitch=koala/bulldog, Jumba=large bug {pillbug perhaps?}, Gantu=whale/maybe shark, Grand Council Woman=hadrosaurs/sauropodomorphs). Heck, two of the navigators even resemble Piglet and Tigger.
I do agree, though, that Jumba's design inconsistency was an issue, especially during the scene where he and Stitch destroyed Lilo's house. Granted, that was done to replace a more violent scene in a short amount of time, but it's still jarring. Overall, I definitely prefer Jumba's 'gruffer' look since it fits better with his imposing, idiot scien-- I mean, evil genius personality. Not to mention that it poses as a stronger contrast to the sillier design of Pleakley and the cuter ones of Lilo and Stitch themselves.
Speaking of designs, you really ought to check out Chris Sanders' very first drawing of Stitch. It's very different and even more monstrous that the final design.
Oh yeah, and you can't forget about those amazing trailers where Stitch would randomly pop up in a Disney Renaissance film. I remember watching those back in the day and kept asking myself, 'Who or what is that blue koala-thing and what's it doing in Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, etc.?' Guess that really shows good marketing on Disney's part. Heck, I even have that poster where all the past Disney characters appear disgusted or scared of Stitch (except Jasmine apparently).
This and Treasure Planet are my favorite underrated Disney movies.
This, Treasure Planet, and Hunchback for me. Hunchback has problems, but it has so much good that I think makes up for them.
I agree Niko 😍
i often forget i watched lilo and sitich in theaters so it throws me off every time i hear it referred to as a classic, it was very hard to keep myself from crying cause i was embarrassed to... at age 8.

Wasn't the reason for the inconsistent animation because of having to reanimate that house confrontation scene? It was considered too violent so they had to redo it.
Also the final flying sequence being changed from a jumbo jet through buildings (cause of 9/11) to the alien spacecraft through the clouds.
I actually think the off model inconsistency was due to them having to redraw and reanimate the scene because the original was too violent and too much for kids.
I kinda like the redraw, looks cuter.
It's part of the anime inspiration. Aliens get small and pudgy during comedic scenes.
Not only too violent, they had to redraw due to 9-11, the spaceship were supposed to fly close to a hotel, not a mountain, so all scenes leading up to the spaceship scene har to be redrawn and reanimated very close to the release date, had to be quick about it and get a new guy drawing Jumba, they did not have the original guy to do it. If i remember the info correctly
Yah the house scene and the chase scene at the end went through drastic redraws
@@alexandraandersson1665 Stitch also hijacked a jumbo jet in that early version
It was censorship yeah. The original release didn’t look like that, at all. But when they re released the movie they censored scenes which is where the altered look of Jumba comes in.
The only 2d Disney film of the 2000s that actually made a profit

I'm NoT trying to keep from being teary eyed you are .
But seriously me and my Samoan friend both loved and adored this movie because both of us had broken homes but for different reasons and we would talk about it for a while.
She was an only child and I had 3 siblings I hated so we got along well
Saw the "No one watched the Lilo and stitch comment on the totally spy cat thing. Made me feel bad xD
Hands down Lilo and Stitch is one of my favorite Disney movies 💯
And shout out to Nani representing us thick girls, in an era when super thin was in fashion.

It's an old movie, but that's probably something that will stick with me for life... it's not always the best advice though
"..Or Forgotten."
I thought you wrote “Obama” for a second
@@LenaHyena thank you XD
Mr. Friendship I misread that as “Obama means family” I think I need to sleep for a bit
Saberspark, I am SO glad you made this video! Lilo & Stitch was the first Disney VHS my parents got for me, and I played that one the most. I grew up in an island myself when I lived back in Puerto Rico, and this movie had much more of a lasting impact on me than any other of the Disney movies that involved princesses or talking animals. The characters, their dynamics, and the art felt so real to me, even with a mix of sci-fi put into the film. I used to watch it once a year back in the day, and maybe I will watch it once again tonight and remember how unique it really is.
Actually, the reason Jumba's proportions are off, is in a deleted scene: ruclips.net/video/x6-L5TNXKXo/видео.html
Originally the house was going to explode because Stitch tore the oven off the wall and exposed propane gas. Him and Jumba have a standoff until Jumba finally shoots and explodes the house. This goes with what Chris Sanders hated about Disney, is they cut a lot from the movie.
They had to make last-minute changes, to the fight scene which is why it looks so wonky. Sure they could've done better, but it's not the only scene they had to "fix." The original spaceship chase scene got completely reworked. They were supposed to steal an airplane, and the chase would take place in the city, but after 9/11, they had to scrap the whole thing. Personally, I didn't like that scene because the mountains seemed unnatural. Oh, and Jumba was supposed to have thrown a hunting knife, not a pocket knife.
This was a great essay, but I wished you spoke on the deleted scenes...Maybe for another video?
I remember having this on cd and crying like a little girl because of the fake death scene
Whose death ?
You mean in Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch has a glitch?
CD? As in an audio story kinda deal?
@@mouserat2545 you know they meant DVD lol
@@amyschildgamerlive4519 well I remember class mates who had illegal copies of Disney movies in German on real CDs (with 700mb of storage) in low quality bought from czech republic.
Ah, my favorite Disney movie! I love it because it's an original story (that is to say, not based on a fairy tale or novel), it's sci-fi, and it bears similarities to the first sci-fi and one of my favorite novels, Frankenstein. Particularly, there's the scene where the monster in Frankenstein saves a drowning girl but is attacked by her father who believes the monster wants to harm the girl, and in Lilo and Stitch, there's a scene where Stitch is attacked and grabs Lilo for safety, only for Nani to believe that Stitch was trying to drown her.
I honestly love this movie, my brother passed early this year this was his favorite movie. From the story to the local Hawaiian culture made this so appealing
17:36 I just really want to appreciate that cut. From the moment Stitch slams the fridge door, straight into the crashing of a car in frame. Excellent edit, Saber.
The voice actress for the Grand Council Woman- Zoe Caldwell, sadly, passed away this month.
Lilo & Stitch is my all time favorite Disney movie, and really resonated with me as a kid when it came out. I was (maybe still am!) very Lilo-like in nature, too.
You mean to tell me that the Bald blue alien guy was a woman?!
Huh. You know I didn't actually know she was a woman, well it's sad to see her actress pass away. She had some relateable moments.
NEXT UNUSUAL MASTERPIECE: A Goofy Movie
*Yes!*
Stand Out
AJ Jackson you mean An Extremely Goofy Movie
This.
A *GOOFY* masterpiece if you will.
so when we gonna get a video with the title "Treasure planet - A masterpiece"
This is why that movie is one of my favorite of the early 2000s with Kuzco and the Treasure Planet. : )
Thanks for pointing out the round drawings of Chris Sanders. I never knew why I liked so much the Lilo and Stich film until now.
Please, Saberspark, give yourself a break and review more animated masterpieces. This video is a joy.
Lili and stitch was so simple yet, so brilliant. If I had to rate it on a tier list it would at the very least be an A above B for sure
You should review Treasure Planet now, since we’ve opened this Disney review rabbit hole! It’s my and many others’ favorite movie of all time
The reason why Jumba's character design changes is due to them having to recreate scenes that were deemed to harsh for children, especially some scenes that were super comparable to 911, which happened during the making of the movie.
I also love how the theme connects into the show and movies. Stitch's cousins and Jumba and Pleakley are all trying to find a place that's best for them. I really like Leroy and Stitch because (spoilers for a 10-15 old direct to DVD movie) have gone on to do things they would love to do in space, but have to leave Lilo and Earth.
At first, they are adamant to go at all since Lilo has been so much to them, but once Lilo says it's fine, they head out. But, what really holds up is: Stitch, Jumba and Pleakley all want to head back home, feeling home sick and miss Lilo.
That connection is why i love this series.
Honestly, this is one of the most realistic movie versions of Hawaii. The cut scene is so accurate.
Mahalo, Bruddah 🤙
Depending on how you look at it this is the “true” conclusion to the “12 year” Disney renaissance (counting “groove” and “Atlantis”) before nemo’s gigantic success in 2003 and home on the range’s and treasure planet’s flops in 2002/2004 “convinced” Disney to say “eh, let’s just stick to cgi non pixar stuff, sorry hardcore 2D nerds” lol
Umbuko DaJuko from a hardcore lifelong Disney 2D animation fan’s point of view, yes it’s the right way (not the corporate way lol) to end the “winning” streak that started with little mermaid. (Think of it as a 12 and a half year three course meal) 😎🌟👍🏻
That playing it safe creative control with the bear reminds of Ford. How his son wanted to make innovations in order to compete against others, but Ford didn't want to change.
Or Jumba said "I like this one!" meaning "Oh, an Earth-song I don't hate!"
Also being taken by child protective services means a lot more than just having to be around normal people, take a look at the horror stories about kids getting tossed from home to home (like you know Lilo would after each subsequent meltdown) or how long it even takes for someone to be adopted.
Anyway those were my nitpics, love ya Spark
-I
Yeah adoption is such a hard process my family took in 40 kids over 13 years and adopted 6. Buts it's clear on how little the state and some parents care about the kids
Saberspark is reviewing a movie that isn't sh*t?
*NOT SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE!*
His short reviews are more positive
You lie! YOU LIE!!!
Who loves this movie?
The fans: I do!
NOT SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE!
hey it's happened before :V
Well, not everything he reviews involves anthro lions, uncanny cgi nightmares and X-rated cat stuff. XD
Lilo & Stitch was my childhood growing up, i really love that show with all my heart, and i love the movies alot too. I would 100% let my future children watch it, its the best disney movie/show ever
Lilo and Stitch has always been my #1 movie. Even more so today, where I feel outcast among nearly everyone around me for many many reasons. From my personality, to my interests, to my sexuality. There's this plush of stitch I've had ever since I was 1. He's been there for all my worries and there to comfort me when in pain. I can't imagine being without him. This franchise means everything to me, and never fails to make me feel better when I feel like no one is on my side, or wants me in their life.
Lilo never forgot Stitch, even by the fact that he went in China (安玲与史迪奇) and South Japan (スティッチ!) after she grew up and got independent.
*reads title*
Honestly *Unusual Masterpiece*
Two words that sums up the movies perfectly XD
Btw he forgot to talk about the second movie
Ehhh...
And the third pre movie to the series after movie to the series rap up and a forth one
Second movie is cute, but it's not really on the same level.
Second movie was...eh
oh ouch.
Lilo and Stitch was amazing! It's incredibly unique and the characters and story are so lovable, almost everything about it was amazing
Oh my gosh, I never noticed Lilo's big people pictures. She is even more crazy and fun than I thought!
Saber: *reviews a timeless classic
Me: *_Wait, that's illegal._*
6:47 Is this why Disney is pivoting towards "live-action" movies and Pixar collaborations now than tradtional hand-drawn/cartoons?
Dude, Disney ditched hand-drawn movies LONG ago. The only true reason is because "no one" wants to see a hand-drawn movie anymore. CGI can achieve fantastical things, it's easier, it's better, it's grander. I'm not speaking for myself, I love hand drawn movies. But there's no turning back now. Eventually, hand-drawing, drawing itself will die as we are further consumed by our technologies. I wouldn't be writing this if that wasn't true, or should I say, typing.
@@memesarekeem that's not true at all. When it comes to art, technology only allows new avenues, it doesn't replace. We still make paintings, carve wood, and print physical books despite all of those things being technically "outdated."
People have preferences and there is always a market even if it's niche. Anime still gets hand drawn despite the majority being animated in computer. We'll always have hand drawn and hand made things, it'll just be less common since most people will do what's easier/most profitable over aesthetic.
@@memesarekeem having you even taken a look at ANY online gallery? Concept art is still done in 2D, designs are made in 2D
@@kitse_xiii8334 Concept art isnt the final product, now is it?
@@memesarekeem yeah, no, hand drawing isnt gonna die any time soon
2:19 oh I feel so old

Ah, yes. Finally, something positive to keep Saber from exploding in anger, sadness, or disgust.
