I've been wanting to do reviews of older movies from when I was a kid or a teenager and wondering if they're any good now... and I'm happy to say this one is actually wayyy better than when I originally saw it when it came out!
Lilo and Stitch are 2 of my favorite disney characters probably. Stitch is one of the cutest, and he kind of reminds me of the minions. And Lilo is really cute and when I met her in Disney I had braided pigtails and Lilo grabbed them and it was really funny. I thought that was fun. And I know a lot of people in the Disney community hate the Stitch ride... honestly it scared me a little because I was still a bit traumatized from when it was Alien Encounter... but I liked the gift shop! And I like that Lilo and Stitch are at Disney now, I've only been to Disney once since the movie came out. They could maybe do something a little better... but it makes sense to replace Alien Encounter with Stitch.
The major reason why I loved this movie so much now: This is my first time really sitting down and watching it since I've had a dog and since I've lost a dog. Stitch reminds me so much of both of my dogs that it just makes me happy. Lucky, my first dog (who has passed) and Spencer, my current dog are both adorable and very destructive. They're as loyal as can be, but man can they be bad! Also not unlike minions... you kind of get my type of cute creatures now right? Cute, but a little mischievous.
I thought the opening scenes were pretty brilliant also. The part with stitch was a little boring... I have to admit, but then we meet Lilo, who is the human version of Stitch. She's just as wild and destructive... but she's human and Stitch is made to destroy. So its kind of funny how they tame each other in a way and really take care of each other. Its sweet to see. I cried several times. It just reminded me so much of my doggies that it made me happy and a little sad thinking of them. Its just sweet.
I love that Lilo is such a deep character. She lost her parents, she fights with her sister, she loves dogs, she's very smart and a little crazy, she's an artist, she takes photos of people on the beach, she makes her own doll, she gets bullied, she loves Elvis, she hula dances... there's just soooo much to her and thats what really makes the movie so lovable and it makes Stitch so lovable even though he can be so bad.
The music is also really nice! I love that its hawaiin but there's one song in English mostly and there is a hawaiin song in it too. And the Elvis music too. I had the soundtrack as a kid and I loved it, especially in the summer. I liked the part where Nani sings Aloha'Oe to Lilo too... just so many really beautiful scenes in this movie... I love it!
I don't know if I'm posting this sometime before or after my favorite Disney movie countdown thing... I'm writing this in August and I'm not sure when I'm posting this... but I know its not for a while. Side Note: This makes me more excited for Moana, which I'm sure I've seen by now and cried at the Lin Manuel Miranda song on the soundtrack... I cannot wait for that soundtrack! I'm excited. SO maybe I'll wait till that comes out for this list... good idea. So its probably out now... and I'll try to remember to link it because I'm pretty sure I've written it by now... I'm pre writing because 1) Its easy 2) I'll be an aunt pretty soon!
Byeee!
