It's funny, it's sad and, frankly, it's a bit weird.

Reviews for Lilo & Stitch
Top Critic Regrettably, towards the end the film veers off into a mess of weird aliens and Cartoon Network silliness.

Top Critic All the sentiment and charm you’d expect from a Disney movie, but easier to swallow thanks to mature themes and realistic characters.

Top Critic An enjoyably anarchic, frequently amusing slice of children’s entertainment.

The early and middle passages are surprising in how much they engage and even touch us. This is not a classical dramatic animated feature, nor a hip, contemporary, in-jokey one. It's sort of in-between, and it works.

Top Critic One of the most enjoyable and genuinely funny animated features [Disney's] ever made.

It's a bright, engaging bauble with half a dozen Elvis Presley songs for Mom and Dad, and just enough sass -- Stitch sticks his tongue into his nose and eats his snot -- to keep the tweeners giggling.

Top Critic Easily one of the strangest products to ever emerge from the Disney animation pipeline.

The movie does manage to tug at your heartstrings with its themes of loneliness and finding a place to fit in, but it does it without ever rising too high on the sap-o-meter.

Similar to most contemporary American feature-length animation, the film’s overall structure is frayed.

... it unapologetically affirms that love can make good things happen in a broken family.
12/06/04
A raucous comedy/adventure [and] easily one of the strangest products to ever emerge from the Disney animation pipeline.
01/12/04
Putting aside the Pixar computer animated offerings, this is the best Disney animation in nearly a decade.

Make sure your kids don't get too much sugar in the cinema - the house mightn't be up to the mayhem when they get out.

It's not in the same league with the likes of Beauty And The Beast or Aladdin, but it's much better than, say, last year's Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

Lilo & Stitch could be considered a safe and amiable vehicle for the powers-that-be at the Disney stable. But that's probably this movie's main downfall--it's TOO safe in a time where the sophisticated outlook of cinema is progressive

It's the underdog for Best Animated Feature, but I'm rooting for it.
