theme of the movie delightfully.
“Lilo and Stitch” differs from
Disney’s more recent creations in
that it leans toward drama. There
are tear-jerking scenes between
Lilo and Nani that seem too
heavy for the average 6-year-old,
but then again, much of this
movie is geared toward an older
crowd.
It is filled with references to
“Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Jaws”
and “Godzilla,” and even Elvis
finds his way in to a lot of the
action. (Lilo is a big fan of The
King, and teaches Stitch to be too.)
One of the funniest parts of the
movie is when Pleakley, waving a
viewfinder, convinces the Grand
Councilwoman not to destroy
Earth because it is a wildlife
refuge for the highly endangered
mosquito. This joke pleasingly
runs through the whole movie.
The creators of this movie took
Disney in a direction by tackling
real-life issues; if it seems like the
Lilo and Nani part of the story is
realistic in synopsis, be assured
that it is in the movie too. But
perhaps it is good for Disney to
modernize their approach to this
type of movie. Dreamworks did it
with “Toy Story” and “Monsters,
Inc.” and made its place as an
undeniable competitor.
Disney is finally catching up
with the times, and hopefully it will
help the company climb back into
the spotlight. “Lilo and Stitch” is a
cute movie that will complement
the Disney repertoire, but won’t
stand up to the classics.
