Hawaii's movie is...
Lilo & Stitch
Hawaii's reputation precedes it. Lush vegetation. Weather both humid and crisp. Low tides, tall volcanoes, killer waves. No surprise it took an animated Disney movie to capture the color and natural glory of the union's final state. The only animated film ever to be set here, Lilo & Stitch weaves Hawaii's strong sense of family and community directly into the plot, from how a 19-year old must prove competent taking care of her younger sister named Lilo, to Lilo's adopted role as parent to an evil, violent extraterrestrial named Stitch. And as far as cinematic references run, there's running jokes about Elvis Presley and his beloved beach flicks, including allusions to Blue Hawaii.
