Stitch & Co. - Der Film

This movie was okay, but I feel that it lacks in comparison to the original Lilo & Stitch Movie. I am a HUGE fan of the orginal, becuase I love how obnoxious Stitch is. I also love the first one better becuase the movie seems to incorporate Stitch's awkwardess on earth. I just love the part where he dresses like Elvis and plays guitar. Stitch The Movie is a good effort, but it does not have the magic that the first has. Plus, the fact that this movie is only one hour seems to make one believe that there is money lost in buying the DVD. I gave Lilo and Stitch a 10, but I have to give Stitch The Movie a 5.

"Stitch ! The Movie" is less of a movie and more of a transition piece, a gateway into the Lilo & Stitch TV series rather than a proper sequel to the original film. While it brings back the charm and heart of the characters we love, it lacks the narrative weight or emotional impact expected from a theatrical follow-up.

The plot introduces the idea of Stitch's "cousins," setting the stage for future episodes, but doesn't stand well on its own. The stakes are low, the structure feels more like a stretched-out TV pilot, and the animation quality, while serviceable, is noticeably downgraded compared to the original.

That said, it's still enjoyable for fans of the franchise. The interactions between Lilo and Stitch remain sweet, and it does its job as a setup for the upcoming series. Just don't go in expecting the depth or polish of the original film.

Positive : _Introduces fun new ideas for the series _Lilo & Stitch's chemistry remains charming

Negative : _Feels more like a pilot episode than a real film _Lower production values and a weaker plot.

A few steps down from the original, 'Stitch! The Movie' is too short to enjoy.

At just 60 minutes it doesn't do enough, so everything it shows simply falls flat. Less heart, not as funny and nowhere near as interesting. It's obvious, especially with the ending, that this only exists to kick off the television series; as opposed to building on the 2002 film.

The cast pleasingly remains the same but their performances aren't as memorable as before. Most of the characters are shoehorned in, especially Bubbles (Ving Rhames) and Capt. Gantu (Kevin Michael Richardson). Jeff Bennett comes in to voice Dr. Hämsterviel, a new character, who is alright.

Forgettable in every way unfortunately. Still one of the better Disney animated sequels, mind.

Stitch! The Movie is a movie that is just made to promote the series. It does provide some detail what the series was going to be about, but the plot is kinda rushed because of its less than one hour running time. The animation is fine, but it does seem limited even for a straight-to-video movie. And some of the characters were written fine, but others aren't much useful for the film. I honestly would recommend if you are going to watch this, just treat this as the first episode of Lilo and Stitch: The Series than an actual film. However if you love the first film and you'd like to see more about Stitch and all of Jumba's other experiments before him, this is worth seeing for yourself. As a movie, it could've took a little more time rather than limiting the running time. But as a way to start the series, at least it tried.

Let's be frank, Disney always tends to create a franchise by releasing a movie and making sequels with new characters and adventures. When Lilo & Stitch came out, it was in all honesty the very first Disney movie in my life I came to love. When i heard of a sequel and a TV series, the first thing popping into my head was "there goes the magic" well i wasn't at all wrong. Stitch! The movie had to fall into the franchise, it's Disney, but it didn't lose the charm and uniqueness from its predecessor. Maintaining the dysfunctional bunch from the original, the 'straight-to-video' presentation of new adventures and characters is not as exaggerated as before. Fun for the entire family as always, Stitch! The movie is a new deliverance to every Lilo & Stitch fan.
