Lilo and Stitch Review

I'm not a child or a parent, but I always enjoy a good Disney movie. I read a good word this week that describes me, a kidult. I fell in love with Lilo and Stitch by watching the Disney Channel, and I had to have the movie on DVD. This is the movie that spawned sequels and a television show. Lilo is a lonely Hawaiian girl being raised by her older sister. She gets what she thinks is a blue dog from a shelter and names him Stitch. Stitch is very violent, but Lilo sees the good in him, and they have adventures set to Elvis songs.

What Lilo doesn't know is Stitch is an alien who has escaped from his planet. After him are alien Gantu and the alien duo of Jumba and Pleakley. Jumba and Pleakley are opposites as Jumba will use any means possible to capture Stitch while Pleakley is more cautious. Besides the Elvis songs, the original songs like "Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride" are catchy. The cartoon really tries to capture the Hawaiian culture by using the language. The cartoon images of Hawaii are beautiful, and you almost feel like you are there. This is a great movie for children and kidults.
