Number Forty Two: Lilo and Stitch

Lilo and Stitch

2002

I had the privilege of watching this movie with real live people! Who weren’t related to me! Not that I don’t love my family, I do, but when you haven’t seen anyone but them for six days, people your age are a lovely thing.

Stitch is an evil scientist’s creation. If an evil scientist creates something, it will also likely be evil. As he is evil, he is detained by the alien (oh he’s an alien too) police and his maker is sent to prison. This works for about five minutes. Stitch is a crazy little guy and is able to escape to Hawaii by spaceship.

On Hawaii lives a little girl named Lilo. She’s a loon. No really. She makes voodoo dolls in the likeness of her “friends” out of spoons and sticks them in pickle juice, as her friends must be “punished.” Talk about disturbed. It probably has something to do with the fact both of her parents are dead. Of course they are. This is a Disney movie after all. Poor parents. They never had a chance.

In a series of events that are too long to describe here, Lilo adopts Stitch, since she thinks he is a dog, is almost put in foster care by her social worker Mr. Bubbles, teaches Stitch to behave, Stitch learns the meaning of ohona, and together they beat up the mean alien cop, Gantu, which means they can live happily together not in foster care. Yay!

This movie is cute. It’s not fantastic like say, The Lion King, but it’s not horrid like other ones I have had to watch. Fantasia 2000 comes to mind in that category. It’s pleasant enough. All in all, it is not a waste of an hour and a half.

Just for the record, I would have written more, but I only have three more minutes till midnight. I really need to work on my timing. Maybe I’ll have it down by the last blog.

Movie Watching Budd(y)(ies): Elliott and Leslie! Yippee!

Best Song: It wasn’t technically a musical, but I did like the soundtrack. It was a weird mixture of Elvis and traditional Hawaiian music. Odd but good. Still no real song to chose from.

Best Part: The frog, calmly watching Stitch get run over by three semi trucks.
