Waste of time

To me, this movie is perfection.

Thanks for the memories!

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The first Lilo and Stitch movie was amusing and entertaining and held my 2 year old's interest easily with the Elvis songs running throughout. Ten minutes into this one, however, and my son left the room. It was clearly not meant to be a stand alone movie as the first and fell into the trap as so many movies do today: strictly to set up the sequel. In this case, its the setup for their Saturday cartoon series. Not impressed at all. I agree that this could have been used as part of the actual series and not pushed as a true movie. No wonder I look forward more to Pixar's productions than Disney's nowadays.

I have to say I really enjoyed the sequel to 'Lilo and Stitch' it was just as much fun to watch. Stitch is as adorable as ever and Lilo is as cute, sassy and clever as ever! Lilo and Stitch is my favourite Disney movie as all time as well...I think it is fun fresh and sassy. A nice change from other Disney features involving princesses. What caught my attention with Stitch is that he so totally different for a Disney charachter. A totally cool, hip and cute alien. A very engaging and entertaining pairing with the equally personable and witty Lilo. All the charachters were back and it was still just as much fun to watch as the first.

_Stitch! the Movie_ follows logically from _Lilo and Stitch_, and the characters are true to their personalities. Sharp-eyed children will notice a point at which Stitch could have extricated himself from a fix unaided, but didn't, but on the whole, it flows nicely...****SPOILER FOLLOWS!!!!***** ...to a semi-conclusion that sets up the forthcoming _Lilo and Stitch_ cartoon series in exactly the way I feared it would, so that it will be a clone of certain Japanese cartoon series in which many creatures with varying powers get collected. I guess the committees and marketing types finally got their claws into L&S, and couldn't resist the thought of hordes of children collecting 626 plushes, figures, cards, and so on. I'm highly disappointed.

Lilo & Stitch was wonderful! I put down my thoughts on that movie at Amazon, but as much as I enjoyed that movie & anticipated the sequel & series I knew were coming, I didn't hold out much hope. Let me tell you brother, I wasn't disappointed. Sure, I did my part to line Disney's pocket. Okay; here it is: Positives: An original story. Most all the voice talents reprise their roles. The artwork. Not-so-positives: Jason Scott Lee as David is noticeably missing. The artwork, like the story & humour is good, but it seems that perhaps there is some reliance on lightning striking twice. The music is the greatest disappointment; while 'not bad', it lacks the spunk & pizazz of the original. Worst of all, there is a great deal of reliance on old gags & old art; it's like somebody cut & pasted! All in all, this is not unlike the second Back to the future movie; feels like a stopgap fulfilment of a contractual obligation; the quality of the work is adequate to as remarkable as the archetype, but there is something lacking. Let's hope that like Bttf, the next installment meets or exceeds the expectations set by the original.
