Yes!
Can you review Legally Blonde?
One of my favorite Disney films
This is a Great movie, but I refuse to believe it's been 20 years... but I guess it has
the Pudge the fish thing got a lot heavier for me when I discovered Lilo feeds him because he "controls the weather" and her parents died on a stormy night, so ever since she's been trying to "appease pudge"
You're crying. I'm not crying.
I knew that I wasn't the only one who thought this!
It’s also a common Hawaiian cultural thing to appeal to and appease deity’s based on superstition
I love that detail because a lot of people miss that because there was a question on a fan page sometime back on "how did her parents die?" It's a very subtle detail
same.
A detail that's kind of easy to miss:
Nani's room is full of surfing contest trophies. She's not just a casual surfer, she is a COMPETITIVE one, who has entered tournaments and won and potentially could've gone pro.
And she gave all that up to knuckle down and care for her sister.
Could also had been momentos of their parents.
as the Dad looking at the picture seemed to be a surfer.
@@warllockmasterasd9142 Where do most pros learn? A skilled parent.
That's another reason why I love the grounded realism of this movie 😊
@@stitchlover4381 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👍👍.
Soooo?!!?!
"She needs me!"
"Is THIS what she needs!?"
This movie is phenomenal.
Yeah, holy shit Ving Rames was awesome in this movie.
This movie is a masterpiece
I love the line when Bubbles goes, "Nani, I know you are trying, but maybe it's you that needs Lilo more than she needs you. You need to think what's best for Lilo even if it means removing you from the picture."
It is so heartbreaking and real. Especially knowing people who were in the foster system and having my good friend work in social work this happens more often than we realize.
@@rayanderson5797 I actually forgot forgot he was Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction until I saw his record
@@leighmartin9187 as a kid the only thing l remembered about this film was how THICC the big sis was 😳 Am I the only one? She might be the THICCEST character in Disney history, my goodness lol
"My dog found a chainsaw." One of the best lines in any film ever.
Cracks me up everytime
I'll see your "My dog found the chainsaw" and raise you one "My friends need to be punished"
@@PrototypeSpaceMonkey But do they need to be punished real good, with bricks + a pillow case?
@@SiiriCressey uhhh...
@@Marvelfanatic3658 It's from the movie.
Actually, Aloha Oi is the best song Nani could sing. The last Queen of Hawai'i composed that song as a farewell and an apology to her land because she couldn't stop it from being colonized. Nani is saying goodbye and apologizing that she couldn't do more for Lilo, even if she herself was barely out of childhood.
that is actually heart wrenching. It's great that this film managed to subtly throw in so many aspects of hawaiian culture that people often ignore. Especially things like this that highlight the struggles native Hawaiians had to endure, it makes so much more meaning in a film I already recognized as mature and deep.
That makes it even more fitting when you find out there were more deleted scenes about Lilo dealing/messing with the tourists and having more of a disdain towards them. I guess Hawaii's colonization isn't too different from the idea of an alien invasion.
To add to that, the same way USA colonized Hawaii, parallels what's happening to Nani. An agent from the USA is literally coming to tear apart what little family she has left. Basically he's telling her she can't take care of herself or her sister (even if he's not doing it maliciously) much like how it's often told to colonized countries that they can't take care of themselves by literal government agencies. It's also usually families native to these countries that usually get torn apart first.
I'm not saying it was done intentionally, but Nani singing that particular song which is a farewell song, to the last family member she has that she has failed to care for, the same way it was a farewell because the Queen failed to stop her country from being colonized, is a very powerful statement for a Disney movie.
Oh good. Knowing the original story of the song makes me feel even sadder. And that story wasn't fixed by the end, either.
I'm not sure if this is apocryphal, but I'd heard that a story thread that was dropped in the movie was how Lilo and Nani feel displaced in their own homeland. Things like how tourists look at them like ornamentation rather than people and how their culture is appropriate for profit and amusement. As I said, I don't know if this was ever actually planned to be a theme in the movie, but it certainly could have been.
@zanpakuto man Ahh, and I see you already brought that up. Thank you.
"Lilo" means "generous one" but can also mean "rip/tear" or "lost". So the movie can be interpreted as "lost or ripped apart but joined together". So the movie hits differently when Stich starts crying "Lost..." that he is crying for "Lilo" instead.
There's a DOOM reference here, somewhere . . . .
Doug mentioned that in his disneycember for lilo and stitch
Stitches are made to mend, and join things back together. I love... is it called subtext?
And Nani means WHAT!!! In Japanese.
@@Churrowhisperer The Nostalgia Critic back then said that he would have the film be just about the sisters, but that's not an option. Chris Sanders is very basis for Stich. Stich was the first character he made and everything else came later.
I actually think the climax change was an improvement. By changing the airplane to a spaceship and the location from a city to the mountains, it reinforced the movie's clash between the futuristic sci-fi of the aliens and the natural beauty of Hawaii.
I was aware of the change, but not the fact that they apparently hijacked a plane that was already taking off. Did it have passengers? I get this is a kids movie and the scene would likely be played for laughs, but imagine how freaking scared passengers would be when they plane suddenly engages with an alien starship that opens fire on them.
@@josephperez2004 They kicked the passengers out using the slide thing that planes have.
@@jasondrake323 Ah, well thst does make it a bit better at least. Glad that aspect did not just get forgotten.
@@BluntsNBeatz Except earlier in the movie Pleakley calls to get picked up, implying they were dropped off on earth.
@@jasondrake323 I think they could have written that off with that their ship is only short range and they need the larger ship to pick them up to get back to the federation.
One thing I always really liked was how they designed Nani. Most adult women in Disney movies look like sticks, but Nani looks like an actual human being.
And that’s one reason I always liked her
20 years later, still one of the most underrated attractive Disney chicks, especially when she’s in her swimsuit LOL
She is incredibly beautiful. 💗
@@BratzRockAngels The reason she looks different is because Chris Sanders has a unique look, where everything soft and smooth.
Right? She looks like a normal person. She's a great character and wonderfully written and acted and they made her realistically hot on top of that.
12/10.
I like her and the lifeguard
David is a great character because of how he interacts with Nani. They know they have feelings for each other but that Nani isn’t emotionally or otherwise available for a relationship. Yet he never holds it against her, never gives her help to use as leverage for a date. He helps her because he’s a genuinely good person and Nani needs helps like yesterday. They have a much more interesting and healthy dynamic than many of the official Disney Princess and prince relationships, or at least more fleshed out because we see them as friends who want to be something more instead of two people meet and they’re The One for each other immediately.
@@andrewpotts That was a joke, you can tell by his tone of voice.
Then you have the fact that David is apparently a common feature in Nani's diary, implying that he and Nani have been friends for a long while now, and the only reason Nani ISN'T dating him is because she is putting taking care of Lilo first and foremost in her life. She's interested, and he knows it, but Lilo is her priority, and David wholly understands and accepts that... and pretty much embraces it. He thinks Lilo is a wierd little kid, but he shrugs it off and even seems amused by her antics and cares about Lilo nearly as much as Nani does.
@@andrewpotts From the desperate way he is running to tell Nani about the job... especially since he KNEW what was about to happen... it was more about keeping Lilo and.Nani together than any other motive.
Suggesting a date was a hopeful joke, brushing off the fact he'd just gone to a lot of trouble to help them stay together for the sake of both their happiness.
He would like it if she said yes, he doesn't really care though in the face of knowing Nani and Lilo are gonna stay together.
Oh man. What a king!
@@andrewpotts Obviously the character isn't the type to go r/niceguy if she ended up saying no.
"Oh good, my dog found the chainsaw." Twenty years later and that line still gets me.
Especially because immediately after Stitch looked like a tiny version of Leatherface which crack up on top of already cracking up over Lilo's line
I like how the Nostalgia Critic included himself in that list of characters he would find annoying if they didn't say something funny to make him like them.
I noticed that too Lol
I almost didn’t notice until now tbh
And what about what every woman said that slept with him?
@@NoedigJK471 it's little and broken 😂
As an older sister who has had to take care of a younger sister, as our parents were absent because of work/emotional trauma, I can confirm that this is the most honest portrayal of a sibling bond, especially when there is a threat trying to separate them. My sis is in college now, but we have the most secure bond while my parents are working hard to connect with her. This movie hits so hard every time ;-;
In my opinion the most heartbreaking scene in this movie is the scene where Bubbles take Lilo. You hear their conversation from the perspective of Lilo and Stitch and it is just a tear jerker, the line, "IS THIS WHAT SHE NEED!" was just amazing....
Ving Rhames did a phenomenal job with his delivery of every single line in this movie.
Having been in foster care it’s likely what she would get there would be even worse.
I actually liked David character. He was more than a love interest and was a great friend
He’s just as much a part of their family as Stitch is.
I always liked him.
Fun fact - The fight between Stitch and Jumba _also_ had a major change. Originally Jumba was a lot more sadistic and violent and used the gun more, for instance the plates flying out of the roof were originally laser blasts, and it even ended with a gas explosion instead of the blaster getting jammed.
That's why Jumba looks off model throughout the scene, most of it was reanimated.
That is the only change I don’t like, I get why they change the dryer and the plane but changing the fight just undermines Jumba as a legitimate threat.
I always did think he looked somewhat a little different in that part of the movie.
Also, there was a shot of the house burning that looked a little too similar to...recent events at the time. That's why the scene cuts abruptly after seeing Lilo staring offscreen
No matter how old I get, I still break when Stitch calls out "I'm lost." As he waits in the forest for his family. I'm actually tearing up just typing it.
I just rewatched this movie the other day and it's honestly such a tearjerker when you watch it and understand it's deeper themes more. 🥲
Not ashamed to admit, Stitch saying he was lost got me teary eyed in the theater too
Im the worst at crying at movies and this one makes me ugly sob
Still gets me to this day. One of my all time favorite movie scenes.
I’m not judging you. I don’t blame you for that
Lilo and Stitch is an odd but wonderful gem in the Disney Animated Movie Line-Up!
my 2nd favorite right before tarzan
@nemo pouncey dude wtf lilo is a kid
Sixty full length animated movies. Only TWO that are less than amazing (Home on the Range and Dinosaur). Disney has remained pretty consistently brilliant for nearly a century.
@@martythetickler Look at my pfp
@nemo pouncey that’s more than likely and unfortunately fan art. Disgustingly, smut like that happens all the time. My nephew who loved “MLP FiM” accidentally seen some mature fan art content and it turned him off of the community. That crap is in most if not all the animated show/movies communities
Whole-heartily agree with 'Lilo being the most realistic kid in cinema'. Her fights with Nani freaking kill me...especially how both of them scream into pillows at the exact same time later. 😂
Fun fact: When you stay in Disney World and order a wake-up call, sometimes Stitch calls you and says "NO SLEEPING!" and cackles before hanging up the phone 😆
As an older sister who had to look after my younger siblings this was pretty relatable.
Dont forget the pizza oven or dryer...
@@SALshaNoma As the youngest brother of three, I also can relate to the name calling and fighting as a kid. I was a stinker. Lol
Wait does he really call?!
@@joshholland8564 Yes, he does xD
Stitch works as a character because the animators didn’t think he had to do something silly every frame. There were moments where he was just moving in this uniquely alien yet animalistic way, adding to his personality silently. It’s good.
I hope he does the Emperor's New Groove soon. That film is a comedic masterpiece
I could be like his Tarzan review or ones like when he reviewed Trolls
It is.
Indeed.
It's the most hilarious Disney movie ever
I watched that film so much as a kid that I wore out my VHS and had to get the DVD
No, it’s not. You want to listen to that weird, drugged out short guy with the annoying voice (I forget his name because he’s not worth remembering) say a bunch of outdated 90’s catchphrases? I think you are easily entertained.
I remember when I was a kid, my parents took me to see this movie in theaters. However, the power went out at the part where Nani met Bubbles. I was so upset that day and I waited forever to watch that movie on DVD. When it finally did, I remember loving it and I still love this movie to this day!
The power in my cinema went haywire when I saw Peanuts Movie. First the audio went out about fifty minutes in, then the screen went black, and then they kicked us out of the building with refunds. Thankfully we went back a few weeks later and the movie was great.
I remember the projector going haywire when I went to see Christopher Robin, but thankfully that was before the movie started.
Lilo & Stitch is one of my fan-favorite Disney animated films back in 2002
I love the these characters when I was 2 years old back in 2002.
and it’s has been 20 years since that
little fan-favorite Disney troublemaker has become one of the most favorite Disney characters of all of
Disney & POP Culture
and Literally RULED The Walt Disney Company
and sitting on the Disney Throne chair
and became TOP of the Mountain of all of HOLLYWOOD.
This is DISNEY NOSTALGIA!
I remember when I first saw Mulan (the original) in theatres as a kid with my family, the movie turned off for a little while during the “I’ll Make A Man Out Of You” sequence and the audio sounded screwy as it turned off suddenly. And then it turned right back on and the movie continued thankfully. We were quite shocked when it happened. But we also laughed at how funny it was.
Kind of funny enough, that happened to me with only 10 minutes remaining of the live action Dumbo! :-) you know the connection between the animated Dumbo and this right??
Got to give props for taking a traditional Disney movie tropes, the absence of a parent, and exploring it as a catalyst for drama and conflict. Nani needs to put her whole life, which included a promising surfing career and romantic relationship, on hold just to keep the last surviving member of her family. This conflict isn’t black and white, the people involved all mean well in Lilo’s welfare but Nani is in over her head and Lilo’s actions are proving detrimental to the two sisters staying together. She can’t be a sister and provider for Lilo, which leads to the heartbreaking inevitability when social services has to step in and Cobra can’t turn a blind eye anymore.
Treasure Planet also uses parental absence as the emotional core for the protagonist, Jim never having gotten over his father walking out on him and his mother but emotionally healing and maturing through Silver’s almost paternal attitude towards him (as demonstrated through I’m Still Here).
Yeah but didn’t Gantu get turned into a villain in the series?
@@FunFilmFare How is Gantu relevant to the deceased parents and social services issue? The conflict is between Nani and Cobra Bubbles, who both want Lilo to be somewhere stable, want it to be with Nani but know she’s in over her head and will reach breaking point where he has no choice but to step in.
@@FunFilmFare Honestly though. Even that's understandable for the character, he always brags about being the former captain of the galactic alliance.
All he wants is his station and status back. If you know part of his backstory (which we hear a bit more in the Dupe episode).
I loved the series as a kid. Basically Lilo and Stitch help Jamba’s other experiments find homes on earth with other humans and I enjoyed every episode.
I love the series too, but it wasn't until much later that I realized they were just copying Pokémon. Catching Jumba's other experiments was basically like catching Pokémon. Not to mention that fight sequence between Splodyhead and Slushy was like an over the top Pokémon battle without the trainers shouting attack commands. Also in Stitch! The Movie, the first one of the 625 experiments they end up releasing and catching is Experiment: 221 aka "Sparky", whose an electric-type like the mascot of the Pokémon franchise, Pikachu.
BTW, If you've ever seen Steven Universe near the end of the series, Steven tries to find places for the Gems to use their abilities to help people. Kind of similar to how Lilo tries to find places for Stitch's cousins to belong. I just couldn't help but make that comparison because it's so similar to each other.
@@rushmaverick1923 Yeah it is a lot like Pokémon! But aren’t there more things involving cute monsters that try to rip off Pokémon in the same way?
@@rushmaverick1923 Also on top of that Anime, the main animation studio for bringing the Pokémon franchise to life, made not one, not two, but three freaking spin-offs of Stitch.
@@MasonJWMyersDang, I had no idea about that. Also, do you realize that most of Stich's cousins could easily fall into the same type-category as Pokémon? Richter is ground-type, Gigi is a normal-type, Kixx is a fighting-type, Yin and Yang are fire and water types, Sprout is a grass-type, Phantasmo is a ghost-type, Melty is a dragon-type, Slushy is an ice-type, Ploot is a poison-type, and so on. Even the fairy-type which didn't exist back then could've been for experiments like Baby-fier and Wishy-Washy.
Its Jumba,with a U
6:53 This is actually something that makes me love Jumbaa, He keeps bragging about how evil he is but if you pay attention to his actions through this, the other movies and the series he actually does some of the most compassionate things out of any of the characters
I remember they even touched on that in the series. There's an episode where Jumbaa loses his evil scientist club membership or something because he's gone soft.
Wait, there's an actual evil scientist organization? In SPACE? AND THEY HAVE MEMBERSHIP CARDS!?
🤣😆
Really, the most "evil" thing Jumba did was creating all the illegal genetic experiments, but even though he made them with destructive abilities and personalities (with some exceptions like 625 being lazy), he isn't like Dr. Hämsterviel who wants to conquer the galaxy with them. Heck, even him describing 626's powers and destructive instinct to the Federation feels more like him going "hey, look at what I made", rather than saying he made them with malicious intent.
Yes!! His reaction to Nani when they finally meet face-to-face and she asks where Lilo has been taken is so surprising yet sweet to me. He seems to understand the tradgedy of the situation and at the end of that scene when he seems to think Stitch might hurt Nani, he's ready to protect her from him.
One of the most Underrated Disney films ever, the character development between lilo and her sister is unlike anything else in Disney, it’s phenomenally mature for a children’s film.
Director later went on to direct How To Train Your Dragon
@@hulkfan97 💯💯💯💯💯.
Fitting that the director who made one of Disney’s best 2000s film went on to make one of the best Dreamworks movies
Underrated what? The first 2 minutes of the review is explaining how this film is anything but underrated…
@@jonathanramirezmiguel2012 Legit. Underrated is Atlantis, Treasure Planet, Oliver and Company! This wasn't lol
First time I'm hearing that the movie is UNDERRATED.
The Hawaiian music in this movie is so phenomenal and it was such a departure at the time for Disney, when you consider the movies made prior to this one. It depicted Hawaii in a great light too.
"Did you ever kill anyone?"
[Auwquard silence]
"We're getting off the subject"
Loved it
*Awkward
"this is my family. It is little....and broken. But still good. Yes. Still good."
AND YET PEOPLE WONDER WHY FOUND FAMILY IS SUCH A PREVALENT TROPE. it's so WHOLESOME. Which we honestly need these days. I think that's why Sonic 2 did so well; the heart and wholesomeness is just what people need after years of just....bad.
A family picture.
💯💯💯💯💯
The reason Lilo gives Pudge a sandwich is as she believes controls the weather and her parents died in a storm so she thinks if gives the fish a sandwich then bad weather won’t happen to cause anyone else to lose someone.
@Alias Fakename I’ll have to look for that next time I watch the film.
Do you guys know about the depressing deleted scene about lilo's fish friend
@@justincounts6001 No I didn’t know that.

THANK YOU DOUG.
Born and raised on Kauai here, it's awesome to see which island he knows Lilo and Stitch is from.
Also, yes the movie shave ice is not a shave ice, that looks like a snow cone.
What Doug had was a shave ice.
Also, that shave ice I can see was from Wailua Shave ice located on the East Side of Kauai, specifically Kapa'a (Where I'm from), good choice :) .
I’m just gonna say it. This is my favorite animated movie of all time. I genuinely can’t find anything wrong with this film. No problems, no minor nitpicks, no glaring issues that would drive anyone else away, nothing. To me, this is my definition of a perfect film. The family drama is really well-executed and heart-melting, the alien aspect is really engaging and hilarious, the animation and atmosphere is beautiful to look at. It’s the whole package.
It's a really good movie but it's story was just good. It should have been called lilo and nani since the film focuses a lot of them. But still good movie
I actually lived in Kauai, where Lilo & Stitch is based.
This movie introduced me to Hawaii and I fell in love with the place and its culture. Went there in 2012 after graduating high school, lived there with my wife for a time (she even grew up there on and off) and I'll always love this movie for what it did for me as a person.
That's sweet thanks for sharing that.
Cool story bro.
I’m sorry, I just had to I’m actually impressed.
You found a home and yourself!
You sound like typical native Hawaian but South Park character.
Sweet I love on O'ahu. I remember watching the end credits with the photos of them traveling all over the islands.
I am a 32 year old man and I cry my soul out with this movie every time. Even the words "Ohana" out of context get me teary eyed.
For someone out of a slightly broken family this movie always was what I knew, felt and an ending I wished for.
My therapist: Cyclops Nostalgia Critic isn't real, he can't hurt you
Cyclops Nostalgia Critic:
In all seriousness this was a great review; I love the points you brought up about Lilo and Nani being written so amazingly well and their voice actors perfectly translating it into their performances. I can't believe this gem of an film is turning 20 years old...
When I first saw this film I didn’t think “I wonder if their are 625 other experiments” but after seeing the show, I’m glad they added more experiments
I was half and half on it when I think about experiments are usually coded with numbers while it seemed possible until I saw the trailer for Stitch! The Movie
*there
RIP David Ogden Stiers, he was an actor I probably took for granted thanks to being in so many animated films, but man he was so lovable. RIP Zoe Caldwell as well.
Kevin Michael Richardson is such a solid staple of the voice acting community, love hearing him as the main villain.

Love this movie. As an adopted kid the line "this is my family... I found them all on my own" brings tears to my eyes every time.
2 of my favorite deleted scenes:
1) you find out why Lilo takes pictures of tourists. It’s a “how do you like it” method for all the tourist who show up and want to rudely take a picture of a “native Hawaiian girl”.
2) there was gonna be a scene where random tourist keep stoping Lilo and asking her which way to the beach. The people were different levels of rude, like asking if she speaks English. After they were butt, she’d point in some random direction away from the beach & they’d drive off to get lost 😂

That would've been funny. And a very important message, too.
@@pundertalefan4391 Back then impossible to include without public outrage. 20 years is a long time.
😂😂😂 she's such a troll I love her!
It's a shame that Lilo and Stitch have kind of gotten overshadowed by Moana at this point. I really liked that gag of Stitch sneaking into other movies. I wish they kept that going, at least every now and then, maybe one trailer for every movie. I'm just imagining the scene in Frozen where Hans aims the crossbow at the chandelier in Elsa's castle, but he's actually firing (repeatedly) at Stitch crawling along the ceiling. Or Tangled, and he starts playing with Rapunzel's hair like a cat, then drapes some over his head like a wig and pretends to be her.
Lilo & Stitch is truly a Classic from the Early 2000's and it's phenomenally mature for a childern's film
agreed.
agreed 110%
One of the only movies to have a pretty good TV series. The sequels are great as well.
I know right
Disney DTV sequels that don't suck, with quality on par with the 1st movie? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!
@@louisduarte8763 For the most part, yes.
The Emperor's New School was also pretty funny to watch.
@@klimmr I'm so glad you mentioned that. I watched both series' as a kid and I loved them.
Can we just appreciate for a moment that Nani has the most realistic body of all Disney women, thus making her one of the most attractive?
"She's also a violent little shit!"
Hahahaha awesome. Loved this video. This movie deserves all the love it gets🥰
I actually just watch this recently and i will say Captain Gantu is still just such a big intimidating force as the first time i saw also hats off to Kevin Michael Richardson for such a awesome way to portray him as a guy you don't want to like but kind of also understand why he's there in the first place.
And to think Richardson's the same guy who voiced Grimace...
Shame that the sequels and show reduced his intimidating aura and made him pretty dumb/bumbling
My major problem with Gantu was his inconsistent size. He was always towering, but sometimes he was as big as a house and others he could fit in the house.
@@prufan you mean when he start laughing right
After their parents death Lilo has comes to the conclusion that pudge the fish controls the weather as he is a fish in water and rain comes from the water and gives him peanut butter sandwiches so no other kid has to go through what she did.
Nani doesn't get enough credit by Disney fans all everyone mentions is Elsa and her sister Ana as the first "realistic" siblings.
1. When Nani wakes up look at her room she gave up becoming a pro suffer when the accident happened Nani had to grow up in seconds to be able to take care of her little sister.
2. Nani puts her love/date life on hold for her sister nani was with David but after the accident Nani had to push David away so that she could take care of her sister.
3. Nani ends up putting her whole life on hold for her sister and she does her best for Lilo has a normal childhood.
4. Nani brings Lilo and stitch to every job interview to get a job and she doesn't blame Lilo or stitch once for messing up.
5. Around middle of the movie she loses her job due to stitch and lilo when lilo ask if she lost her job due to stitch and herself which nani says no saying that the manager is a vampire nani is trying her best to protect lilo who is only six years old
6. When going to the dog pound Lilo asks for lobster instead of saying no or we can't do that. Nani tells lilo that they have a dog door and lilo picks picks stitch and lady asks what lilo wants to name him the lady tries to say stitch isn't a real name but nani stops her so that her sister can be happy.
As kid I didn't understand Nani struggle raising her sister alone but as I grew up I can truly relate to Nani after parents divorced my mom had to raise me and my sister alone at my pre-teen/teenage years I had to grow up early while my mom struggled to find job I helped raise my little sister and had to become her father figure do what Nani did when my sister wanted a dog let her name the dog whatever she wanted and put my love/dating life on hold. Lilo and Stitch grew up watching it and ended up seeing it different as an adult
12:21 That was probably the first Stitch impression that made me laugh out loud. IDK how you did it but good on you
Fantastic Stitch impression. Not that it's hard.
17:18 - Honestly, I’m convinced that Cobra knew Stitch was an alien. Who requests a dog to be made a model citizen?? 😂 Plus all the more reason to be watching Nani and Lilo like a hawk.
He had apparently worked with the Grand Councilwoman in 1973, so it's a plausible theory
When this film came out, I was Nani's age (just starting college) and my twin sisters were about Lilo's age, so this DEFINITELY got what make siblings believable: loving, but annoyed AF (every time I see Lilo lick Nani's arm to get out of her grasp, I LAUGH HARD because my sisters always did the same thing to me)
I LOVED this movie growing up. I even have the original Scrump doll that is worth $125.
Nice.
When I was a kid, I was convinced Cobra Bubbles was a bad guy with a humourous name. He was so intimidating. And the fact that he wanted to take Lilo from her big sister, who clearly cared about her. It's interesting all the nuances we miss when we're kids.
Same. Probs why I wasn’t such a huge fan of this movie as a kid (liked “Iron Giant” way more). But seeing all these extra nuances as an adult made me further appreciate “Lilo & Stitch”
As an afab person who raised their younger sister, this movie hits so close to home. I have no idea how they perfectly portrayed the struggles, resentment, and ultimately deep love for each other that happens when you’re forced into that kind of mother-daughter relationship too young. Truly great writing.
Ah, a certified 2000’s animated classic. Love it
💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍
Wow, It's been 20 years since this movie came out. I remember watching that movie as a kid. This movie was the next Dumbo, since Michael Eisner wanted a low-budget, smaller and heartfelt movie after a string of success of the high-budget 90's Disney animated films.
@nemo pouncey He still the CEO of his own company, The Tornante Company
@nemo pouncey example?
Difference between Lilo and Stitch and Dumbo is, Lilo and Stitch is actually good! 😮
Aliens aside, this is a pretty realistic movie, with realistic situations, and even realistic sibling relationships, even though the relationships I have with my siblings were never this... struggling(?). I don't know, that's the best word I could think of to describe it.
5:09 HAWAIIAN PUNCH MOMENT
"Hello, Cobra Bubbles? Aliens are invading my house."
One of the funniest goddamn lines I've ever heard in a movie.
Same here😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for the laughter.
I love that part
@@sarahmcmann5253 💯💯💯💯. It’s hilarious
COBRA BUBBLES!!!!!😱😱😱
The drier scene was later taken out entirely for the television version. It would show Lilo licking Nani's arm to escape then cuts to commercial and then after coming back Lilo was already caught
One cool thing I remember with this movie (That I feel most have probably forgotten) was that prior to the release of the film, a magazine called 'Disney Adventures' had a string of comics detailing Jumba's creation of 626. Showing him testing his strength and limits. If you read those comics and then went to the movie theaters, it made you feel like you were naturally continuing that story; seeing the repercussions of Jumba having made such a dangerous creation. It was almost like you started the story to a saga offscreen, and you knew who Jumba and Stitch WERE when the movie begins. Which...sure. Might be normal NOW. But back then, a lot of promotional comics tended to be self contained/disconnected stories or took place in non-canon timeline. The fact I remember those comics basically leading me right into the movie BLEW my little mind.
Omg I remember Disney Adventures! 😅 Thank you for reminding me of a piece of my childhood I had entirely forgotten about!!!
I loved this movie so much, when it released I watched all the extras on the DVD. And if I remember right, Aloha Oi came from Tia herself. The staff couldn't figure out what to do with that scene. She suggested the song and called her grandmother for the actual words since her grandmother sang that to her all the time. So she took it to the director and producers and they loved it. So they just put that right in the movie. I used to think it seemed a little out of place where Nani just starts singing, but after learning that it makes more sense to me. It's such a beautiful song.
As someone on the autism spectrum, I always saw a bit of myself in Lilo. I had set routines and rituals, I lashed out when I got frustrated, and I couldn't understand why stuff couldn't go the way I wanted!
They never SAY she's on the spectrum, so her actions are identifiable to people, wherever they might land!
Hate to break it to you mate, but that's not "special" - it's in fact quite normal for most children to behave this way ^^
A lot of people nowadays assume that just because your child has a frigging pulse, there has to be something wrong with it that needs to be medicated.
@@arsenelupin9697 They didn't say it was special. They literally said they can relate to the experiences of a character. No one asked for your shitty take on medication.
7:57
This moment is so relatable:
Nani: GOOOO TO YOUR ROOM!
Lilo: IM ALREADY IN MY ROOM!
13:22 wow I honestly never saw the film this way. It’s not the tropes that are the problem entirely it’s how you utilize them
I actually teach this movie in my middle school class. We hit on points like how you can pretty much work out Cobra Bubbles' backstory from just a few lines, why Lilo cares so much about Pudge the Fish, how the events lead into one-another, all the things that are only half-said, and whether Bubbles or Nani is right on whether or not Nani is an appropriate guardian for Lilo.
Lilo is still hugely popular despite being 20 years old--the kids still have merchandise, and they had several Disney movies to pick from, but Lilo and Stitch was the runaway favorite.
One student asked me why every character in the movie was just like him. (He's right, he'd fit in the movie quite well.) I told him he should think on that because they all get into trouble so often.
There's also a really funny deleted scene where lilo messes with the tourists and also has some good commentary on how people treat native hawaiians. But it had a terrorist joke in it so it was cut because of 9/11 like the plane climax.
I am a proud owner of a Lilo and Stitch VHS Tape 📼 so yeah, getting old REALLY sucks
Also Critic COME ON! Where’s the "F*£¥ING BUBBLES!" audio at 6:31? That would’ve been perfect 👌
I love Lilo and Stitch it's one of the few movies where you feel like you believe there problems and there character.
15:56 BLUE PUNCH BUGGY!
NO PUNCH BACK!!
10:36 If you wanna see cruel Stitch stratches Lilo twice in the sequel , one in a dream and where his glitching causes him too.
I was 6 years old when this movie came out. I still enjoy it even now at 26 years old. I remember a line from Pleakley "Oh great. He's loose!" and I'm pretty sure it was in the movie.
I really love this movie. This came out at the right time for me, as it helped me process my parents divorce when I was about 3 years old. Not many movies at the time dealt with a dysfunctional family of two. It was always the nuclear family with a drunk blue collar dad, a housewife barely keeping it together, and kids with their own issues. This was an older sister and a much younger sister. As a kid I often felt like both Stitch and Lilo to my Mama, getting diagnosed with Autism and my mother just freshly divorcing my dad and being a mess with us moving too. So chaos became normal. This movie brought my mother and I closer to get through all of it, and now I'm getting a tattoo to represent us getting through it all.
I really like this movie. Lilo is a better Disney Princess than any of the traditional princesses Disney has. I really like the way this story unfolds. It is one the best movies in a long time.
Nani is a better Disney Princess, she has a prince in David.
For those keeping track, he's now done reviews of the following animated Disney movies-

You're Never Too Old to enjoy these timeless films like lilo and stitch.
These early Renaissance Disney films will last to the end of time
💯💯💯💯💯💯
@@AndreNitroX 💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍. While the Disney remakes are dust in the wind.
@@chasehedges6775 i cant even remember most of them and they came out a few years ago. all i know is that they were rip offs of better movies.
9:56 when jumba says this is low even for you while stitch is using lilo as a human shield. I don't know why but it cracks me up every time.
18:33 I like how the class was just chill with her “dog” joining the hula team
Till the sequels and series.
Man I was obsessed with this franchise as a kid.
To quote the late great Norm Macdonald and something i'm sure Steve Blum is think a lot about right now potentially is “You ever be having a really good dream, and then, uh- right in the middle of the dream you wake up, right in the best part of the dream? And there you are, back in your stinkin’ life again? Man, that’s rough, eh?”
About Lilo's bizzare antics, while there are reasons hinted at in the movie for why she does these things, a lot of people have made it a headcanon that she has "Low-support Autism". When you watch the movie and read a list of symptoms, a lot of things add up.
As someone with autism myself, I do relate a lot to her actions in the movie. I remember watching the sandwhich day rant. Watching her say "It's sandwich day" like that made sense to anybody else while they all looked at her like she was nuts made me feel seen.
Then when Nani says that she won't yell at her anymore except for on special occasions and Lilo sincerely says "Tuesdays and Bank holidays would be good!" was so relatable.
No comment on 13:57 ??
She kicked what she thought was a dog farther underwater when she couldv'e easily saved both!
She nearly drowned Stitch!
I mean, she was saving her sister. Maybe she thought Stitch could swim..?
This is one of my FAVORITE disney movies of ALL time.
If you said to me, 20 years ago, that disney was making a movie about an alien who escapes from containment, and lands on earth and gets adopted as a dog by a broken family, and learns the meaning of family through his journey in the film. I would have laughed in your face.
But this movie manages to be relatable, funny & emotional.. While making the characters feel VERY much like real people in a believable situation!
Doug's Stich impression is really good, it sounds identical, I thought it was part of the movie before he said holy shit.
It's really not a hard voice to pull off.
@@XenoSpyro Fun Fact: Scrat from Ice Age is also voiced by the director of Ice Age.
I admit that I did not find Lilo relatable as a child since I was so normal and well-behaved, but she grew on me as an adult
That “I’m Lost”scene gets me every time. It’s with such emotion for just two words and also says so much for just two words. The whole movie has heart and connection.
"He will be irresistibly drawn to large cities where he will back up sewers, reverse street signs, and steal everyone's left shoe."
That was hysterical and I still question it's the left shoe. Why both or the right shoe alone?
I love seeing kids movies tackle adult themes.
David's situation is he _wants_ to help more and be more active but he is still trying to respect Nani's boundaries and not intrude on the personal situation, so he is caught in this position of awkward politeness I think. Still let's give it up for David though, wish more guys were like him.
I’ve been having such a rough and emotional week and missed this week’s episode. So glad I can finally wind down and watch it! I always say that channel awesome helps me keep my sanity.
Lilo and Stitch - One of the best Disney films ever made. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
If they ever make a live action remake of Lilo and Stitch, they have to get Andy Serkis to motion capture and voice Stitch. Not only does he have the experience for this sort of thing, but it would just be hilarious to see him interact with the actor for Lilo. How she wouldn't burst out into laughter is beyond me. XD
Well it has been confirmed that Chris Sanders (Co-Directer of Lilo & Stich/Voice of Stich) is reprising his roll as Stich in the Live Action Remake, which is coming out on March 1st, 2024
@@austincanady4670 Originally Stitch was suppose to be mute, but soon Chris came up with a funny voice that would fit the character.
@@orangeslash1667 you mean mute as in mostly animal noises?

6:59 TEETH CAR
Lilo and Stitch is really an Incredible movie from the 2000s...
I still remember going to Disneyworld and going on the ride Stitch's Great Escape! And being just so scared of it as kid.
That was a fun ride!
@@zacharybartolo5111 💯💯💯💯
I rode that one too!
The second I saw it, I turned into jontron and ran away, going nope nope nope nope nope so much nope
So fun fact! I went to Disney in the ‘90s and that ride was also a alien ride way before the movie came out, but it was super intense. The set up was that an kindly alien diplomat was going to teleport into the center tube that Stitch now breaks out of, but instead he’s sent to a planet full of monsters and eaten, while one of the monsters is sent to the tube. It was like 8ft tall, had sharp teeth, claws, and bat wings, and also broke out. The lights cut off and the speakers in each seat made it sound like it was flying around - they also sprayed ‘blood’ (water) on you in the dark as a recording of someone above you screamed, and blew warm air on you as though the monster was right behind your chair. I was six and left in tears, there was literally no indication that the ride was going to be scary.
So yeah. Not surprised they changed it lol
Lilo and Stitch is my favourite film. I was 6 going on 7 (same age as Lilo) when it came out. I'm autistic, and I always related so much to Stitch, and I relate to the character more and more the older I get. See because everyone misunderstands and thinks that Stitch is bad, when actually Stitch is just misunderstood by everyone. Stitch was never bad, Stitch just needed love and acceptance, and Lilo was the first one to give Stitch that. I could go on and on, I could maybe even do my own video, but damn it hurts to see people misunderstand this film. It hurt so much when there was a video Doug made where he said he just wanted Stitch to go away. I mean, how can people watch Lilo and Stitch and not come out loving both main characters equally? I don't even know from this if Doug has changed his opinion over time. I'm not trying to force my opinion on anyone, but it feels like a personal rejection when people say the movie would be better without Stitch, or that they don't like Stitch. I just don't understand how anyone could not see Stitch the way I see Stitch.
I've had my favourite Stitch plush since the film came out too. I sleep with my Stitch plush every night. I tried as a child not to show favouritism with my plushies, but now I'm an adult, sod it, I have favourites! Some nights I don't think I could sleep unless I was cuddling my favourite Stitch plush. I don't know what I would do without Stitch. 😊
It's seriously so much better years later! I remember loving it as a kid because of Stitch but not really understanding the deeper story. Then I re-watched it in my 20s on a plane ride and shamelessly bawled my eyes out. The characters' chemistry is seriously phenomenal and you're absolutely right about it feeling fresh and new despite the tropes. It's moved up very high on my favorites list through the years. ❤️
I love the deleted scenes in how the locals like Lilo and Nani have to merchandise it’s culture to tourists. Even during job interviews that Nani has, she’s turned down because tourist season is ending
Almost died laughing from both the quick edit of Stitch and the spray bottle and "Stitch's" reaction to what an actual shaved ice looks like
10:08 - no shock there, Myrtle and her friends pick on Lilo all the time xD
