Stitch! Le 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.

While Lilo & Stich is an endearing saga, the Stich: the Movie isn't. Almost all the bits of the original is back, but it is so much flatter, so much less artistic, so much less well-paced.

My wife, who loved L & S, fell asleep while watching it and for anyone that has not seen the first L & S-film it must be utterly incomprehensible.

And even the animation feels rougher, and it sure lacks the deep feelings and suspense of the original, in short a typical low-budget follow-up, that supposedly links the real film with the TV-series (which I have not seen).

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.

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.

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.
