Lilo and Stitch

Director: Dean DeBlois, Chris Sanders
Year: 2002
Stars: Daveigh Chase, Chris Sanders, Tia Carrere (voices)

I've seen this before, but about 5 years ago. I loved it then, so when I saw it was on TV on a Sunday afternoon it seemed like the perfect chance to sit down and enjoy it all over again.

The film is about 676 (or Stitch, as Lilo names him), an alien who ends up on Hawaii after being exiled from his home planet. Lilo is a young orphan who has no friends, and chooses to adopt Stitch. That's the first half of the plot, but the joy of the film is in the way that story - and the rest of it - is told.

It's a silly film, but a really fun one, and doesn't overdo it on the sickly sweetness. Very enjoyable, and I was quoting it for ages after both viewings. Also cute and fluffy!

Rating: 5 out of 5

About Me

My photo
I live in Bristol with my husband Dan (who I married in July 2007), my son Joe (born 2012) and daughter Jess (born 2015). I work at UWE (the University of the West of England) in Bristol as a Research and Open Access Librarian. I'm orginally from Exeter, so moving back to Bristol is a bit like coming home - especially as I studied for my undergraduate degree here (also at UWE). I love travelling and movies, although I get to do a lot less of both since the birth of our children. Although we have still managed to fit in holidays to the Isles of Scilly, Chamonix and a summer in California since Joe was born.
