My Review "Lilo & Stitch"

Growing up my favouirte animation was "lilo & Stitch" often I would find myself repeating the movie when no one was at home and when my other siblings comes back home and see what I'm watching, they would be like "why don't you get tired of watching this" at that moment I won't say anything because whatever I say or do is likely to be used against me in the court of law "joking" but then I would be quite like someone who doesn't know how to talk then they would walk into their rooms without the thoughts of turning off the television or looking for something else to watch.

I loved the animation so much that the moment I heard about the live action coming out on my screen, I turned on that notification because I wanted to be among the first set of people who would share the story at the beginning.

The Plot

On planet Turo, Dr. Jumba is convicted by the United Galactic Federation for performing illegal activities when he created an aggressive and indestructible creature named "626". Dr. Jumba was brought in for questioning and was imprisoned after a few minutes.

While experiment 626 escaped from the custody of the United Galactic Federation and landed on the planet called "Earth," Dr. Jumba was paired with an Earth expert agent, Pleakley, to bring experiment 626 into custody.

Experiment 626 crashed a wedding reception after landing on Earth and was accidentally hit by a tourist trolley, where he was later taken to the animal shelter. A young Hawaiian girl named Lilo, who was frustrated by the different events that played out at her hula school, was later expelled, and her big sister, Nani, did not show up at her school.

Lilo wanted a real friend because she never had any. Their neighbor took Lilo to the animal shelter, where Experiment 626 was kept. 626 impersonated himself to be nice after seeing that Dr. Jumba and Pleakley were after him. So Lilo begged that 626 be adopted, and fortunately, it was granted. Lilo named the experiment 626 "Stitch," and their friendship kicked off. The movie possessed a lot of plot twists and let me end the plot here so you can see it for yourself in case you haven't.

My Review

First thing, the movie had me glued to my screen like I was watching the animation all over again from the beginning. I'm gonna applaud Job Deon Camp for bringing this movie to life. I love the fact that all animated characters look exactly as they should. Now, the movie paid a lot of attention to even the tiniest details.

The movie gets me emotional at some point because why not even the animation, I would find myself crying at the last scene when Stitch was hurt and didn't wake up for a while, and then the joy that steps in when he eventually wakes up.

It's actually the diverse nature it possesses that kept me glued to my seat without an inch. The ending part of this movie is what I didn't expect because Nani had to make a difficult decision to relinquish guardianship of Lilo to pursue her dream of studying marine biology.

I've heard different stories of people saying "that part should not have been added" because "ohana" means family and no one gets left behind, I know how powerful that statement is and how it could bring someone right back into their senses and make them think right but then I believe in personal growth and as a family people keeps evolving, I think it was a courageous choice that was added to the movie and I like it.

Now let's dive into the musical aspect of the movie, which was very impressive, just like in the animation. Finally, this movie is amazing and I'm gonna give it the credit it deserves. It's a testament that family isn't all about staying together; it's also about growing and pursuing our dreams and lastly supporting each other. images are screenshots from my phone
