Animation. Sci-Fi. Fantasy. Kids Lilo is a lonely Hawaiian girl who adopts a small ugly 'dog', whom she names Stitch. Stitch would be the perfect pet if he weren't in reality a genetic experiment who has escaped from an alien planet and crash-landed on Earth. Through her love, faith and unwavering belief in "ohana" (the Hawaiian concept of family), Lilo helps unlock Stitch's heart and gives him the one thing he was never designed to have – the ability to care for someone else.

United States	Caroline Siede AV Club	"'Lilo & Stitch' created the most complex sister relationship in the Disney canon (...) The movie never feels like it’s setting out to be progressive"	POS
United States	Ed Gonzalez Slant	"The film successfully maintains its subversive tone throughout (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Derek Adams Time Out	"[It] is surprisingly sparky, with snippets of laugh-out-loud dialogue and a rocking soundtrack (...) Towards the end the film veers off into a mess of weird aliens and Cartoon Network silliness."	NEU
United Kingdom	Sloan Freer Radio Times	"Warm and wonderful (...) An innovative and quirky mix of comedy, family drama and fast-paced action, it's as lush and lovely as its Hawaiian setting (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"A tiresome feature that could be made into a wonderful 20-minute film (...) It has a vivid heroine in Lilo"	NEU
