Lilo and stitch was a big part of my childhood in that I loved the first movie so much as a child and even still do as an adult. It was mature, well written, adorable, heartwarming, funny, beatufulllly animated, nice music and acting, fun characters, good morals, good story, It's the full package. The francise I do think is also really lucky in that it's sequals and TV show were not bad at all. I would say they are all good fun and contuine the messages and heart of the oringnal movie well. They don't have as much substance with it themes, but the heart and charm remains in them. I think the reason why they worked compared to other Disney sequals is how they expanded on the world and lore of its ailens/location etc. They do a good job at showing that family's are not always perfect but we love each other regardless. The characters have flaws but oh man are they so lovable and goofy. The animation in this movie is not bad, the music is solid, the action is fun such as the climax, the characters are funny and fun, the story is likable, silly, easy to follow and has a good ending to it all. The themes of ohana play out well here and even tho stitch learnt the same lesson he already knew in the first movie doesn't bother me much due to the happiest he had with having such a great prize. He clearly still loved his ohana as well as jumba and pleakey did but sometimes we forget the things we learn and thats OK. Stitch is my favorite character in Disney in genral and I loved how he is still the same lovable goof ball throughout this francise. He is short tempered and is reckless at times with how he is chilidish but then again we can all be like that from Time to time But at the same time he is very loving and caring to those he cares about. He is loyal, cheerful, kind, silly, adorable and has a good character design. The writing is decent etc. The story itself tho is not groundbreaking, certain scenes feel rushed, mertle could have a better redemption arc, but I loved that gantu and rebean had a good change. Hamaterviel is funny tho not outstanding. Overall I don't get why this movie has low ratings and some hate, there are people who like this movie and I am one of them. A good ending to a good francise.
