It’s Classic and sci-fi? Yes! These days it was like Disney’s old original animated features were really bombed at the box-office (e.g. emperor’s new groove). It was as if only Pixar productions really mattered (Monsters Inc.). Well not anymore, this week ranking over $100 million at the box-office-Lilo &Stitch is really great! It’s a funny lovable story and his hard not to like. Unlike most traditional Disney features where a lot of the characters are similar to older cartoons, this feature has unique characters with hard-not-to like personalities. It’s extremely funny and adults as well as kids will love it! It show’s the traditional Hawaiian way of life clearly as it entertains you without boring you for a minute!
At the beginning of the feature when Stitch is shown you’d think ’’Oh no! Yet another try to make an animated version of independence day!’’ But soon you’d stop. It’s very entertaining and is not about another war to save the earth. The story is about an alien planet where a young blue alien was created illegally (Stitch). Stitch is dangerous and loves ruining stuff (for example ruining Belle’s ballroom sequence from Beauty &the beast). At a pound in Hawaii he’s found by a little loving girl ’’Lilo’’ who has to tame him unless she wants him to go away.
The story is unique and unlike any other animated feature before. It in a way could be called the animated version of E.T sharing the same loving-caring theme that E.T. did following up records at the box-office. Beautifully painted scenes and brightly-coloured lands make the scenery enjoyable. It’s much more enjoyable and original than ’’Spirit’’. It’s like returning to Disney and reliving the magic of Disney. A beautiful creation like this hasn’t been seen from Disney in years! It’s a goofy Scooby-Doo (cartoon version) type pranks n tricks film. It’s a cartoon that proves that older traditional Disney features are still loved today! It’s not a usual flick that has villains. But it still is a Mulan-type character- strong and kind. Although like most cartoons it carries a fairy-tale type fantasy plot, (the alien) not including the alien it’s like a reality film. The film does have a few sad atmospheres but still it’s one you’d want to see. The Elvis sounds are very different from what you’d expect to hear in a Disney cartoon set in Hawaii but the fact is that it makes it even more enjoyable! The climax of the film is just as exciting and astonishing as the Lion King take-over and the Beauty and the Beast defense system. It’s a film that hopefully will win the best animated feature Oscar! Maybe it’ll be nominated for best picture?(Beauty and the beast did!). It’s like a blue koala trapped in a beautiful Tomb Raider (game version) scene!
Basically if you’re looking for a hearty, sad, exciting, loving, funny, enjoyable, beautiful creation-you’ve come to look in the right place. It’s what the traditional Disney features were all about. It’s what you may not find very often nowadays! It’s Lilo &Stitch!
