As an adult you realize that Mr. Bubbles was being really, really patient with Nani and Lilo. You can tell he didn't want to seperate the sisters and gave Nani time to clean up her act, but in the end he was looking out for Lilo's wellbeing first. May not be how all social workers are in real life, but definitely what we should want out of them.
It's still crazy to me that a Disney movie centering largely around a sister trying to keep guardianship of her sibling ended up being so good, absolute classic.
I couldn't help but be aware of how differently I may have interpreted Mr. Bubbles if I was a child. As an adult, I got his perspective. I agree that this is an absolute classic. Disney hit a home run with this one!
Bubbles isn't a social worker; he's CIA. ;)
@@Caseytifyformer
@@Caseytify He’s former CIA but currently a social worker.
I was 19 when Lilo & Stitch came out and even though at first I veiwed him as stern but not a bad guy. Later when he does show sympathy that he is reluctant to split Lilo and Nani but he had to do it for her own good, it showed that even if he is stern (but not overly stern like the stereotypical stern characters, like Aunt Sarah from Lady and the Tramp). Later when he sees the destroyed house and even shouts to Nani "Is this what she needs?!", I totally got that he did to take away Lilo for own wellbeing, not just to do his job, which shows he cares about her (though Nani does make a point that Lilo needed Nani as she understood her the best like no foster family could, which might have hurt Lilo mentally).
They got the sister dynamic perfect. Lilo and Nani are exactly what you would expect from two sisters who have a power dynamic forced on them. The humor is in the chaos, even though it is sad if you think to much into it.
And big age gap their atleast 17 yrs apart which happens with a lot of siblings
Absolutely love the "borrow 2 dollars" scene. My mom used to let me pay at the store so it brings back memories
I have raised my children to go into other lanes at young ages to pay cash for what they want. Be polite and always get the receipt. I double check to make sure everyone was honest and tought my kids to always double check.
This movie came out during such a hard time in my life. I was 21, I lost my 11 year old brother to the system because I wasn’t doing enough to take care of the both of us. So naturally I viewed Bubbles as the enemy because I was still so angry over my brother being taken from me then put into foster care.
But when I heard him scream “is this what she needs?” it cut me deep. As much I wished to keep my brother with me, the truth was we were couch surfing different friends homes because I couldn’t make enough to afford a studio. Seeing this movie and how anyone can be your family made me open enough to accept that my brother’s foster parents could be his family too and not just me.
We were so lucky that they were the sweetest and most understanding couple ever. They allowed me to spend time with my brother whenever we could. Even after he moved out at 18 we still kept in touch. They’re every bit our family the way me and my brother are now.
❤❤❤
hug
It fills my heart with so much joy that a stranger on the Internet can realize that, maybe it was different when it was happening but to have the wisdom now to understand what was best for your brother even if as Mr. Bubbles said "if that means taking you out of the picture" im so happy that his foster parents were such good people and you still remained apart of your brothers life.
@@randomcourierYes exactly. At the time I just wanted it to be me and him together but it couldn’t be what I wanted, it had to be what he needed. Thank you 😊 They really are wonderful people whom I’m glad gave him a childhood far better than the one we had growing up.
There's also so many great little details in this film:
- "Pudge controls the weather" says the little girl whose parents died in a car crash during a storm.
- There's loads of stuff in the background that details Nani's career as a professional surfer. A dream she gave up to take care of Lilo.
Those two are my favourites.
"Oh Good, My dog found the chainsaw". A phrase I never would have expected to hear in ANY movie.
The sister singing “Aloha O’e” becomes so sad when you learn the song was written by the last queen of Hawaii, who was imprisoned and forced to give up control of the islands under the threat that her citizens would begin to be executed. She was a Hawaiian woman who gave up what was most dear to her, in order to save the people she loved.
they always use that song for the saddest moments, like in train to busan😭
4:40 - The reaction to "Are they intelligent?" - "No!" 😂 Jax being slightly offended but also agreeing at the same time 😂
One of my favorite quotes from another movie about aliens hiding on Earth goes something like, "A person is smart. People are dumb, frightened animals, and you know it!"
That’s Men in Black
Chris Sanders and Dean DuBlois partnered up for both this movie and HTTYD, they are masters of the premise "outcast human adolescent adopts and tames a powerful but misunderstood creature"
I noticed a couple of similarities this time.
Stitch in the water was like Toothless in the water. Lilo and Hiccup get saved first then someone goes back for Toothless and Stitch.
Stitch and his sand castle vs Toothlesss and his drawing.
Seeing the guy drop his ice cream in the cartoon series was one of my favorite running gags. Up there with the cabbage man from The Last Airbender and Fred “My Leg” guy from SpongeBob 😭
you know its good when you can hear the lines in your head😂
As a preschool teacher, I can say that the kids emotional dynamic in Lilo & Stitch is more accurate than any other Disney film! Another really good (underrated) one is Turning Red from last year, that captures the 'early teenage girl' age perfectly. I highly recommend it!
People have always underestimated animated movies. But time and again they've proved that just because a movie is geared towards a younger audience doesn't mean it has to be devoid of intelligent writing and an emotional story. I'm glad Jax and other adult youtubers are starting to learn this as they react to these fantastic animated classics. Not to mention not every is for children either, but even for the ones that are that is not an excuse for a movie to be bad.
Yeah, a lot of animated movies, whether they are from Disney, Pixar or DreamWorks, aren't really "kid's movies". They have a lot of humor and pop culture references that kids just don't understand, because they are too young to have been exposed to it. These movies are so much more than just kid's movies. Sure, kids might enjoy the colorful animations, funny characters, and the music, but there's more to these movies than just that. When one of my nieces was younger (she's 15 now) we watched Up, and she pointed at the TV and laughed in the scene where the house is getting dragged along the cliff. That's about all of the movie she watched, she wasn't very interested before or after that scene. I on the other hand, her uncle and a grown man who hasn't been a kid for a looong time, love the whole movie, and have watched it several times. Animated movies that really are kid's movies probably don't have the kind of budget, time, and talented people involved that movies from Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, and even Illumination and Blue Sky have.
Having been a foster and adoptive parent, this is perfect for little ones, and even older ones, since it is so relatable to many of themselves. Whoever came up with the concept did a great job coming up with such an adorable movie that targeted broken families and giving hope to fixing them.
What a wonderful gift you've given children. I agree that this movie was conceptualized so well and executed flawlessly. It's sad that so many children can relate to it, but the messaging is so inspiring. The dog in your thumbnail pic is adorable!❤️
@@reactswithjax That's Lady our fire department's Dalmatian as a pup. It was taken in '91. It could be hard to care for foster kids, but it's not as near as tough what they've been through.
fun fact: the version you watched is edited, when Lilo is hiding and climbs out of the cabinet (?) originally it was the dryer (you can see the switch back at the end when stitch does laundry) but apparently that was problematic so they changed it to discourage kids from getting the idea of hiding in appliances
also stitch's density just mean he can't float (you see this with body builders who have a lot of muscle mass), he could technically learn to swim but it would be difficulty because he has no buoyancy
Not so fun fact: When the final chase sequence was originally animated, it took place in an airplane instead of an alien ship as they skirted around buildings instead of mountains. Given that it was still being animated in 2001, there's a very obvious reason they changed it. The original animation can be found on youtube.
I know they also had to make changes to the finale die to Sept. 11th the ships crash in the ocean rather than into a city. Too close to home in 2001. They other edit was that they toned down the howlie hatred; but IO am glad they kept in Lilo's fixation of photographing fat tourists getting lobsterized by the sun. She is like an anthropologist.
Good compilation of the deleted and changed scenes - th-cam.com/video/x6-L5TNXKXo/w-d-xo.html
I came to the comments to see if anyone pointed out that this was the edited version already. However, it wasn't the dryer. It was the oven. He pulls the cake out of it at the end. They replaced it with an open pizza box on a low shelf.
@@plothole181 when Lilo is hiding right after bubbles leaves on the first visit it was indeed the dryer before the edit, the oven may be a different edit that I’m not aware of but why would they edit stitch pulling a cake out of something other than an oven?
This movie is freaking heartbreaking, but also really amazing and underrated.
Probably my favorite part is when the alien whose name I forgot but will remember after typing this lol, explain how they're trying to rebuild the mosquitoes population, and Jax's reaction is "you're the reason?" Had me dying of laughter 😂. Can't wait for you to see the squeals and if you're able to watch the series that took place after the 2nd movie
I think the TV series was strictly for kids and definitely lower quality, but "Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch" is pretty decent as sequels go.
@@paintedjaguar well for context if she wonders certain characters in the 2nd to 3rd
In the extended version we discover that the only day that Lilo forgot to feed Pudge, the fish that controls the weather, was the same day that her parents died due to bad weather. Since then Lilo blames herself and does not let a day go by without feeding the fish, even when it causes problems, because she does not want anyone to suffer what she suffers.
This is by far the darkest Disney movie.
Wow, that is so heartbreaking and touching. I'll have to check out the extended version. I didn't even know there was one!
Definitely not “by far” the darkest Disney movie. Dumbo, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Lion King, Bambi… Tons of early Disney stuff is darker than this movie
A lot of people think Lilo is on the spectrum
Hunchback doesn't really count, the book it based off definitely not a children's book
@@geraldgrenier8132 You're right, "Hunchback" was not a children's book, but have you ever READ those original fairy tales the classic Disneys were based on? Grimm stuff indeed. Except for the stupid gargoyle sidekicks, Disney's "Hunchback" wasn't actually a terrible adaptation, but of course the one you NEED to see is the 1939 "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" starring the great Charles Laughton.
The funniest part of this reaction (and it was _all_ great, btw) was the torn tissues. When you brought them onscreen, my first thought was that something took a bite out of them, and it seemed to fit so well for this movie. 😂 Also, my personal favorite part of the movie was "Oh good! My dog found the chainsaw." ✌🤓
My favorite part of this movie is when Nani is like “I know you can talk” and when stitch does her IMMEDIATE reaction is to just beat him with a stick 😂
still one of my favorite disney movies to date. Yeah, a lot of people forget early disney animation hits the heartstrings like a heavy metal concert.
Yes! This is such a great movie!
While I agree with you, I have to wonder what you mean by early? Snow White came out in 1937.
I love that 180 when Pleakley brings up Earth being a wildlife reserve at 4:14 🤣
Edit: "Does he have a brother?" No, but he does have 625 cousins (at this point in the timeline). 🙃
Edit: "The little redhead, she's so cute" 🤣🤣🤣
What a great way to start my morning at work 😁😁
Agreed!
Same!!
I said this before on your post announcing that you were going to be covering this one, but this is my joint favourite disney film alongside Zootopia.
Stitch is just endlessly lovable, and I find its alien civilisation also quite interesting! I never really caught it as a kid but this movie is also amazing neurodivergent representation!
Edit: Also, you might notice that Lilo says her parents died when they went for a drive in a rainstorm. And she also says that she regularly takes a sandwich to a fish she believes controls the weather so that there aren't any more rainstorms. That's so sweet and so sad all at once.
Awesome reactions, with tears and a lot of laughter, from Jax.
They actually made three direct to video sequels and three cartoon tv shows, continuing the adventures of Lilo & Stitch.
It's such a common trope in Disney movies for the lead character to be an orphan of some kind, but this movie portrays it in such a realistic way (asode from the alien stuff, obviously).
i love how lilo was only wishing for a friend but got more than that. she got a family
In my opinion Nani is a severely underrated female character of Disney cause she’s truly relatable not just to girls, but to boys as well in pain and sacrifice.
Stitch is actually probably one of the most intelligent beings in the galaxy based on how Jumba described him at the beginning and we do see him show that intellect with how quickly he came up with his escape plan and automatically knowing how to pilot a ship. Not to mention his incredible strength and durability.
"Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten."
This movie is more relatable, more powerful, more representative of the REAL Hawaii, and deeper than most Disney movies that have come out since.
Oh Jax, you made the bouncer cry. 😭 That’s not supposed to happen. It’s bad for my image. I live overseas in a small town and most of the DVDs at the local library were kids’ movies, so I have seen this before. I remember I saw it just before my mom died. I was feeling very alone here on my island too. But my family (small and broken, but still good) got me through it. I never expected to love this movie so much, but I do. It gives me hope that things work out in the end. And your trial with the tissues came at just the right time. 😄 I really needed that.
There’s a Lilo & Stitch series where Jubba loses this orb with ALL of his experiments, Each with their own number like Stitch (experiment 626) but they’re all inactivated so they’re like little small orbs that when dropped in any liquid, activate. He loses them and each episode is basically random strangers accidentally finding an orb and dropping it in liquid😂 Stitch then refers to these experiments as his “cousins” since they’re basically his genetic family :)
Jax, I am so happy you missed this one when it came out, because that way we got to experience it with you for your first viewing of it! I loved Lilo and Stitch almost as much as I enjoyed your reaction to it! Major kudos to you on this one!!
One of my favorite movies I personally love how Lilo thinks what society thinks is ugly is beautiful in it's own way. love your laugh ☺
Pleakley (The one eyed alien non of us can remember the name of) is played by one of my favorite comic actors Kevin McDonald. Kevin is always hillarious. He's one of the cast members of the Canadian comdy troup 'The Kids in The Hall'. Kevin was other con emcee in Galaxy Quest.
I love this movie. It's heartbreaking, but also perfectly captures the feeling of having a weird family that doesn't fit in, and struggles to get by, and there isn't really a "bad guy" in the traditional sense; everybody in this film did what they thought would be best, it's just the tragedy that what was best could tear a family apart, because of bureaucracy. Lilo and Stitch is such a popular film because it speaks to the little and broken, but still good families in a way that makes us feel seen, understood and loved.
Sometimes a family is two sisters, a boyfriend, a speaking dog-alien, a one-eyed mosquito expert and an evil scientist. It's not always gonna be the white picket fence ideal, and it's gonna be good and full of love.
I cannot wait to watch this! Lilo & Stitch is one of my favorite Disney movies of all time, and Stitch is up there as one of my favorite characters! (Along with Oswald, Goofy, and a few others). I'm sure I'll be right back here writing comments AFTER I watch 😂
I LOVE how your face went to disgust when Pleakley said they were rebuilding the mosquito population lmao but ALL your expressions were so on point with all the jokes xD especially the tissue disaster, it lined up perfectly.
All the emotions in this movie hit so hard, and then layered on top of beautiful music. Omg
Lilo and Stitch is one of my favorite Disney movies for sure :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the reaction and you helped me remember about this film.
Thanks for the lovely content and reactions❤❤
This is my absolute favorite I'm so excited your doing this movie!!! ❤💙🛸
I just saw this a little while ago also for the first time and I was expecting something a lot more light hearted too. So I was shocked at how emotional it was. I was sure I was going to cry at one point, but I managed to keep it together. I was a big Disney kid growing up too, my mom worked for Disney, so I kind of had to be haha. I felt for you with those ripped tissues too! Happened to me so many times haha
I absolutely loved this movie as a kid, and I still do as an adult, but I can't watch it without crying. Just Lilo's voice gets me teary, she sounds so sweet and sad at points
If you want more, there are I believe 2 more movies and a TV series of Lilo and Stitch! We would enjoy watching your reaction to those as well! This was always a childhood favorite of mine so I am really glad a few reactors are finding this. And your reaction was great, this movie does really hit you in the feels. Don't apologize for being emotional, it is one of the many reasons why I enjoy watching you react; it makes it more heartfelt!
Also, your "home" pillow fit the theme today! Especially with what you said at 37:50 about surrounding yourself with the right people....
"His saliva's probably deadly" - that paid off real good real fast😂
And BTW - this movie still brings me to tears 2 out of 3 times I see it, even in a reaction video. And yes, this was one of those 2.
You're a perfect example of a perfect reaction channel. You pay attention and keep your eyes on the movie but also know how to speak your feelings occasionally but not too much to where you miss parts of the movie. And your emotions and reactions seem very genuine. Good job, I really enjoyed your reaction to Lilo & Stitch. It's a beautiful movie. ❤
The emotional swings in this movie are actually crazy.
One of my favorite movies, and absolutely my favorite Disney animated movie.
OK, Yup, I'm back with another comment now that I've actually WATCHED the video 🤗 I'm SO happy you enjoyed this. Knowing your "Home" pillow and your occasional subtle Disney cosplay it's rather surprising you hadn't seen this one before! (But I get it, sometimes movies just "pass us by" and it takes a while to get around to seeing them). This movie (as I mentioned in my other comment) is one of my favorites for all of the reasons it hit you too. Family, finding your way as an "outcast", and being a true friend. The serious parts of this movie are SO serious. And then there are characters with names like Cobra Bubbles. By the way, who needs comedic relief when we can watch Jax's tissue escapades??
Thanks for another wonderful reaction. After watching you react to so many Marvel movies it was a delight to find you in my true happy place, the world of Disney. 🚀
I think you might be a west-coaster but in FL Disney World there's a restaurant called Ohana and I go every chance I can get.
#1 Disney movie, to this day. Knew this one would be a tearjerker.
Happy Friday!! I knew I could count on you jax! Work will be easy now that I have another important person to look forward to! Ohana means family and family means we all watch movies together. Have a great day!
I was crying with you Jax.
Love this unique movie, but
Yes its suprisingly emotionally moving. With moments of comedy relief.
There are many moments that make me cry. Lilo is so lonely sad and angry at first. Much like Stitch.
They feel unwanted, and they eventually help each other heal emotionally.
Lilo and stitch both want to feel loved and be part of a family. I love it when Stitch says "this is my family. It's broken, but good" Heartwarming.
If they make a live action version I hope Disney stays true to story and don't ruin it somehow.
Stitch is known as Experiment 626. June 26th celebrates Stitch more than you can imagine!! I expect you will likely join the fun next year.
I know why I kinda avoid watching this movie but later today I will give in and stock up with some reliable tissues, lol, and watch it once again.
Lamby may not have done this intentionally but his joke about the alien with three eyes kinda resembles the alien from Toy Story with it's three eyes.
Take care of yourself, Jax! Bye, Lamby!
As someone who is neuro-divergent (Autistic/ADHD), I relate to Lilo a lot. I didn't fit in with kids my age. I think that is what made this one of my favorite Disney movies. Happy that you love it too!
I love that Lilo doesn't question how they got around the island so fast on the trike
😂I enjoyed this reaction immensely. You made all the right faces at the right time. Im subscribing
yeah, this movie is 50/50 sad and happy
family stories are always touching for everyone, that's what unites us
waiting for the second part!
I love your emotional innocence, Jax. In a world of snipping anger and rage, it's a refreshing sight, don't loose it. O'hana Jax
David is also a great love interest how much he cares and his patience as well with Nani and Lilo
I love lilo and stitch. Use to watch that movie all the time as a kid.
Hilarious that the tissues broke as you needed them, it was so funny yet so emotional 😅
Lilo & Stitch makes everybody cry... every time. It edges out "The Incredibles" as my all-time favorite animated feature. Both speak to me in a very particular way, both the characters and the lovely art direction, music, and early 1960s Hawaiian and modernist stylings.
9:27 "My friends need to be punished" -- I'm still trying to determine which children's book I read that this scene must have been inspired by. A girl's terrible little brother gets his hands on a "Practical Voodoo" book like the one Lilo had (or maybe it was a mail-order course) and things do not go well. It might have been one of Beverly Cleary's books, probably from the 50s or 60s. If anyone knows, it's a memory itch I've wanted to scratch for a long while...
Omg I remember this movie we got it for my boys when it came out and I was as emotional as you were. Such a great way to wake up this Friday morning!!And I had a great laugh with you over the debacle with your kleenex box ! See you next Friday for Ragnork !!
I love that robot puking up nuts and bolts!!!😂😂😂
I will ALWAYS cry when Stitch says "I'm lost!" in the woods. ALWAYS
My old friend Dennis Kamakahi wrote and sings the song "Always" when stitch dies... The song is an ancient Hawaiian song that a lady sang when her lover fell into a volcano in hawaii. The man came back to life from the power of her song and love for him
I think the tissues ripping made me laugh so hard cuz it’s relatable lol 😂
There's a scene that got most of its line work completed that didn't make it for the final cut (which is unusual, if that much is done its PROBABLY getting put in) that's about lilos art and her parents
Pleakley: Earth is a protected wildlife reserve!
Jax: Thank you!😀
Pleakley: We're trying to rebuild the mosquito population
Jax: 😒
Love the reaction LOL
Omg Lilo and Stitch❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I watched this movie in theaters with my older sister. She considered herself way too old for Disney because she was in high school and I did too because I was in middle school. We both cried our eyes out.
The two little kittens I rescued off the street in Marrakech I named Lilo & Stitch. They're precious.
Wow! I owned this as a kid. But rewatching it with you, it's hits different🥺
Stich doesn't have any "brothers" but he does have lots of cousins
Accurate or not, I’ll take the credit for pointing you to this one. Thanks, was a delight watching you experience this.
Some subtler points:
* Something I never expected to see in a Disney movie, someone vomiting on film (the robot in the opening when 626 curses)
* Pudge controls the weather (her parents died during a rainstorm)
Pretty sure I mentioned this one in the same list where I suggested Lilo & Stitch, but definitely check out Iron Giant. It was another film that didn’t receive the appreciation it deserved at the time, also gets emotional.
Also a follow-up to an earlier discussion: I told you that Into the Spider-Verse doesn’t fall into the MCU timeline, but the sequel proved me wrong. Across the Spider-Verse, which takes place a year later, does briefly reference the events in No Way Home, but not in any meaningful way.
I’d still treat it as irrelevant to the MCU, mainly because I don’t want to have to wait that long to see you experience the magic of the Spider-Verse films.
Seconded for the Iron Giant. That is another fantastic animated movie!!
thought it was me, and yeah iron giant is a really good one too
THANK YOU SO MUCH JOHN!!! I am so grateful and thankful for your generosity! I really appreciate it! ❤️🎉❤️🎉 And, of course, you can take credit for Lilo & Stitch. 😊
It hadn't occurred to me that we've never seen someone vomit in a Disney movie before. The fact that Lilo feels the need to feed Pudge because of her parents is heartbreaking. I didn't realize that's where that superstition came from.
I definitely want to watch Iron Giant. I haven't seen it but it has been recommended a couple of times now, so it must be great!
Also, thanks so much for letting me know about the Spider-Verse / MCU timeline. I was planning on watching the Spider-Verse movies after I finished Phase 3 of the MCU, so I'll keep that in mind.
Thank you again! I hope you have a lovely weekend!! ❤️❤️❤️🐑
I love how your tissues were visited by Stitch
I love your reaction for Stitch as his arms go into his body.
i cried so much watching your reaction,lilo and stitch story hit me hard, my eyes hurt so much but at least i didn't have a problem with my tissues
Would definitely recommend 'Treasure Planet' if you haven't seen it. Another Disney film from around the same time as Lilo & Stitch that also really holds up.
I haven't seen that movie either!
I second that recommandation. Another underrated Disney treasure
Lilo & Stitch was the first Disney Movie where I cried a bit. Then they released Up and that one broke my heart in the first 10 minutes.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Its so nostalgiac and the story is so fantastic
Fun fact, The how to train your dragon makers actually took inspiration from stitch when making toothless you can tell in the head one of the reasons they are both so adorable
Now before September 11, 2001 the artist had a scene where Stitch hijacked a airline and flew between skyscrapers. When September 11th happened the artist had to change the sequence for a alien ship and flying through mountains vs skyscrapers. But on TH-cam you can find the original finished artwork sequences with the airliner and skyscrapers.
Love this movie I still have on VHS from when I was a kid
Omg I love this movie!! This is my second favorite Disney movie after Tangled. I'm so glad you reacted to this. I just discovered your channel (my first vid of yours was httyd) anyways i absolutely love your energy! You seem so joyful and positive, you're hilarious and so relatable, you just got a new and loyal subscriber 🤭
Wow, thank you so much! I appreciate you subscribing and I'm so glad you enjoy my reactions!! ❤️🎉🐑
* dramatic hand gestures * really got me when i saw it 😂
It’s impossible not to cry at some point in this movie. Just some absolutely devastating lines and realizations. Like the fact that her parents died in a car crash, the rain made road more slick which is why she gives pudge the fish a peanut butter sandwich since he controls the weather 🥺
@12:30 DAMMIT! JINX!!! I started to say it first, but you said it faster! 😂
It’s so great that all these years later this movie is finally getting the recognition it deserves, this has always been my favorite Disney movie but for so long I felt like I didn’t have as many people sharing my same opinion, I know that it’s always been mostly liked but beforehand it seemed like in most peoples’ eyes it was seen as one of the good but lesser talked about Disney movies, but now in 2023 so many more people are seeing how amazing it truly is and is actually becoming the Disney classic that I always said it was
Lilo is apparently something of an icon in the neurodivergent community (she's probably autistic). I didn't give it a second thought until it was pointed out how oddly she behaves for a 6 year old. I'm very ADD and the people I hang out with are also odd in their own wonderful ways her behavior never struck me as unusual. Makes me feel lucky to have my found family.
Man, I watched this for the first time in college and it's soo good! I love the sister dynamic, and as an adult it's also heartbreaking. It makes me cry too.
As an older sister i feel for and have so much respect for Nani. I remember someone on the internet pointing out that Nani has a bunch of surfing trophies in her room and might've been trying to go pro until her parents died and she needed to take care of her sister. (She also has a Mulan poster in her room which i 100% approve of!)
My niece (3 years old) loves this movie. She has a picture of her meeting Stitch and it's the best picture in the world. I have seen the movie too many times, but this was the first time in English tho since I have only seen it in Dutch
Gotta love the pidgin used in the movie...
Jax, God I love you so much !!! I've been away for a bit ... lots of stuff to do lately, but I'm gonna catch up with your reactions. Can't wait !!! This was a really great reaction and, as much as I've always loved this movie, you sharing it with us just made it all that much better !!! It *_IS_* a really great movie though, with lot of great concepts and themes in it. Thank you for sharing it with us 💕🌹.
The little dissapointed 'Oh' when Bubbles isnt an undercover alien 😆
grew up watching it and love it can't wait for you to watch the second one
Such a great movie! Family doesn’t mean perfect but as long as you keep trying, thats what counts. So glad you finally got to see this, and no, you’re not the only one who cried through this. Great music score great characters and i, also give it a 10 out of 10.
this is my favorite disney movie! fun fact! the directors of this were also the directors of the first how to train your dragon movie! and toothless's design was slightly inspired by stitch.
fun fact: we can see surfing trophies in nani's room in the vinyl scene, which gives light to how nani used to be a surfer, but she had to give all that up to take care of lilo when their parents died. and she's still a teen in this movie :D
Great reaction Jax. Stitch is my spirit animal.
Thank you so much!! Stitch is wonderful ❤️
One _slightly_ sad fact about this film is that the reason Lilo feeds Pudge the fish a sandwich at the beginning is because "Pudge controls the weather".
Lilo wants to control the weather because her parents died in a rainstorm and she's trying to prevent losing anyone else
That's so sad! 😭
