Review
LILO & STITCH may have been a great Disney animated classic, but it's certainly not the last. This film was funny and managed to create some heartwarming themes. The story explores family issues and shows its message of true friendship. I praise its terrific watercolour backgrounds, good classic songs from Elvis Presley and quirky hand-drawn animation. The music score by Alan Silvestri is also a remarkable aspect of this movie, fitting the scenes and creating a mood of sorrow with some of the emotional drama.
LILO & STITCH is Disney's only 2D animated feature to have succeeded at the box office in the early 2000s, where other movies had failed. For many of you who have enjoyed LILO & STITCH, try the directors' next film, How to Train Your Dragon, as this feature raised the benchmark for animation.
Star rating: (4/5) Good Movie
