Today's movie was Lilo and Stitch, the 42nd animated film released by Disney. This movie from 2002 is a bout an escaped alien convict, Stitch, who arrives on earth and is mistaken for a dog by a little girl, Lilo, who adopts him. The girl has lost her parents in an accident and is in danger of being taken away from her older sister, who is acting as her legal guardian. Stitch's arrival and the arrival of the alien police force chasing him, only complicates her life more.
This is a unique Disney movie in a number of ways. The film takes place in the current day, relies on previously recorded pop music by Elvis Presley and others for music and the main character does not start out with many good qualities. In fact he is a destructive force for evil. It his through his encounter with Lilo that he learns about being good.
When the film was released in 2002 Disney had a very clever marketing campaign where Stitch would show up in other movies such as Beauty And The Beast, Aladdin and Little Mermaid, causing chaos and mayhem and the characters would advice him to get his own movie. Overall the movie was fun and entertaining but not a Disney masterpiece.
At the Movie House rating *** stars
