Lilo & Stitch
A fun movie that's very targeted towards a younger audience. The animation is vibrant, colourful and carries a lot of charm. The tropical island setting is beautiful and there were a few scenes where it dazzles you. The concept of the story had promise but it didn't have enough emotional scenes to tug your heart. It tried, however, the build up of the emotional attachment wasn't strong enough. Still, the ending when Stitch talks and they're all a family is significant. There were more than a few moments where it was funny, not clever funny, but amusing funny. The titular characters weren't that likeable at the beginning, Lilo even started to get slightly annoying due to how difficult she is. They grow on you and Stitch in particular is pretty awesome. The other aliens were also great in their own way, their often bumbling actions adds to their appeal. Overall, the plot felt slightly lacking in that there wasn't a clear objective. A bit lacking, the journey was a lot of fun though.
