Stitch is a bad mannered, ugly and destructive little ****. No cute factor here…. Not that I mind ugly; the problem is he has no character, loveable or otherwise.

Top CriticSmart, poignant, and utterly beguiling.

This is a very disappointing effort from Disney.
04/29/09
...an affable but hopelessly uneven fantasy...
03/26/09
It's offbeat, action-packed, and it has a heart as big as a Hawaiian welcome. And in keeping with the Disney philosophy, the style of drawing has its own distinctive look.
03/21/09
It's a bright, engaging bauble with half a dozen Elvis Presley songs for Mom and Dad, and just enough sass -- Stitch sticks his tongue into his nose and eats his snot -- to keep the tweeners giggling.
09/02/08
It's funny, it's sad and, frankly, it's a bit weird.

Top CriticRegrettably, towards the end the film veers off into a mess of weird aliens and Cartoon Network silliness.
06/24/06
Easily one of the strangest products to ever emerge from the Disney animation pipeline.
12/06/05
The movie does manage to tug at your heartstrings with its themes of loneliness and finding a place to fit in, but it does it without ever rising too high on the sap-o-meter.
09/30/05
Similar to most contemporary American feature-length animation, the film’s overall structure is frayed.
05/13/05
... it unapologetically affirms that love can make good things happen in a broken family.
12/06/04
A raucous comedy/adventure [and] easily one of the strangest products to ever emerge from the Disney animation pipeline.
01/12/04
Putting aside the Pixar computer animated offerings, this is the best Disney animation in nearly a decade.

Make sure your kids don't get too much sugar in the cinema - the house mightn't be up to the mayhem when they get out.
03/26/03
All the sentiment and charm you’d expect from a Disney movie, but easier to swallow thanks to mature themes and realistic characters.
03/02/03
Top CriticIt's not in the same league with the likes of Beauty And The Beast or Aladdin, but it's much better than, say, last year's Atlantis: The Lost Empire.
02/08/03
Lilo & Stitch could be considered a safe and amiable vehicle for the powers-that-be at the Disney stable. But that's probably this movie's main downfall--it's TOO safe in a time where the sophisticated outlook of cinema is progressive

Wish I'd seen it on the big screen!
