Rating—out of 5 Mickey Mouse Ears: 3 ½ ears. 1 for Lilo, 1 for Stitch, 1 for Nani/Bubbles/David, and ½ for the Hawaiian songs.

This is a really funny movie, and a great adventure. Lilo is great and does a great job just being a kid. Stitch is silly one moment, terrifying the next ... so you’ve got to keep an eye on him. Nani is a great sister, Bubbles is tough but nice, and David looks good with his shirt off. Gantu isn’t in it enough to really be considered a villain. The Hawaiian songs are fun, but the music is mostly random Elvis songs. Elvis was a hero to most, but he never meant shit to me.

This is another underrated movie that most people seem to forget. I like that it has both women and minorities, which seem to be lacking in movies these days. It is also the last one before a rough stretch of movies I am probably going to struggle through slowly. But back to this movie; Lilo and Stich are a great duo and may make some noise in the bracket.
