Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHawaii-born cast members Jason Scott Lee and Tia Carrere helped the writers with dialog and accents.
- GoofsRight before Stitch finds the Ugly Duckling book, he picks up three other books. The first two, "Oyster Farming: Is it for you?" and "Fire Eating for Fun and Profit" have their titles printed on the back of the books, and nothing printed on the fronts. This is needed so that the viewers could see the names clearly.
- Crazy creditsOne of the photos of Nani, Lilo, Stitch, et al. displayed at the end has them posing at the gate of Graceland, continuing the story of Lilo and Stitch's love of the music and style of Elvis Presley.
- Alternate versionsIn international versions, the headline of the newspaper Jumba is reading ("Idiot Scientist Under Arrest") is printed in an alien language.
- ConnectionsEdited into Zenimation: Water (2020)
- SoundtracksCan't Help Falling In Love
Written by Luigi Creatore, Hugo Peretti, and George David Weiss

Featured review
I gave this movie another chance. I'm glad I did.
First time, I commented how "The Emperor's New Groove" was my favorite Disney movie of the last ten years, and how "Lilo & Stitch" had left me wanting for more.
How wrong I was then.
I gave it another chance. I went back to watch it with a couple of friends and their sons and daughters. What best atmosphere to enjoy a Disney flick?
And then, the scene were Stitch is alone, with "The Ugly Duckling" book, shouting "I'm lost!" (or at least that's what he was saying in spanish) made me change my mind. I suddenly became very identified with the main character's quest for belonging, and suddenly realized he was actually everyone I know - searching for approval, trying to be loved, longing for love. The watercolor drawings, the facial expression, the music, the mood - perfection, indeed. There are a couple of animated scenes that convey this kind of mood - the Ballroom Sequence in "Beauty and the Beast", Simba's dad being killed in "The Lion King", Jessie's song in "Toy Story 2" - and this one is one of the best I've ever seen. Such simplicity and beauty is strange to find.
When we walked out of the movie, my friend's kids were talking excitedly about the movie, when one of their mothers asked them what they enjoyed most about the movie. And one of the girls exclaimed "Ohana means family! And your family never forgets or abandons you!" (that's what is said in the spanish version of the movie).
Then I suddenly realized we need more movies like this.
Solid 9 / 10 for Lilo & Stitch.
