Lilo & Stitch

Director: Dean DeBlois, Chris Sanders

2002 / 85min / DCP

Perhaps the last of the great hand-drawn Disney features is this beguiling, lovingly crafted, and raucously funny tale of intergalactic friendship between a lonely Hawaiian girl, Lilo, and the odd-looking dog she adopts, Stitch, who turns out not to be an odd-looking dog but an alien fugitive who has crash-landed on Earth, on the lam from interplanetary police and desperately in need of Lilo’s protection. “One of the most charming feature-length cartoons of recent years—funny, sassy, startling, original and with six songs by Elvis… Has a bright offbeat look to it.” —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
