Review of Lilo & Stitch (2002) by Smags — 10 Dec 2013

Uninspiring. This is the only word that can come to my mind when asked about the movie, as well as the only word that could describe this movie.

Disney's 2002 blockbuster hit "Lilo and Stitch" is a movie that's primary focus was absolutely nothing more than style over substance. This is the best example of the famous phrase, "Looks can be deceiving". While the scenery, color, and animation was well done, this is were Lilo and Stitch's credentials come to a halt.

While the plot was somewhat unoriginal, it had potential, but just couldn't deliver. A mutant named Experiment 626 comes to Earth from another planet and befriends an emotionally detached young girl, engaging in adventures together. In spite of this, Disney fails to deliver an interesting story, fails to give the viewer enjoyable and likeable characters, and fails to provide any sort of humor. Finally, the mutant itself, otherwise known as "Stitch". Intended to be the most likeable character, he is absolutely nothing more than an annoying, obnoxious, and disrespectful nuisance, whose true sole purpose was to be a waste of space for everyone else.

In conclusion, while the animation was incredibly well done, "Lilo and Stitch" is nothing more than a waste of time and money. The only people who could enjoy this sort of movie are nuisances like Experiment 626 himself.
