This video was a pain to upload, I had problems exporting it and delayed until now which disappoints me because I was working on something for May the 4th and that has to be likely delayed, But I got there in the end, I hope you enjoy although I wanted to add more because of these problems
Are you going to review Finding Dory any time soon? Because you have already given Cars 2 and Incredibles 2 their own full review videos after that other video you made about terrible Pixar sequels, and I want to know why you think Finding Dory could be any worse or any better. From how little you talked about it in that video, I believe you might want to give Finding Dory another watch.
I love Disney but I wish they would let people express their creativity! So many people have ideas that need to be heard but are ignored for the same stories over and over. Lilo and Stitch is such a great movie because they let creative people express their ideas. They put in so much work, even with the 2000s CGI!! But no, Disney will make a soulless live action remake of it with a small blue alien and a cute girl, completely undermining what made the story so important. Thank you for the video, I hope they change.
They do. Strange Word bombed because Disney takes risks with such very niche, All Tomorrows -type speculative material, and the creativity of the creators let them down. The remakes are platforms for two purposes, to re-establish Disney copyright that they might lose because they built those early movies on classic literature, and to TRAIN these creatives who are clearly lacking in talent, comng from the pathetic educational system Disney has to work with. All companies do this, it's more and more difficult to find any talent straight out of school, and the ones trained within rival companies can't distribute their talent because they only know proprietary stuff like corporate owned digital software. And what about these challenging stories like the Black workers in Dumbo or the child neglect in Lilo and Stitch? They are on the fastlane to being removed from public domain AS WELL for being "problematic". Ease off from beign a social credit craphole society.
@@sboinkthelegday3892 Ironically, by the time Lilo & Stitch enters the Public Domain, it’ll be at least another CENTURY and almost all of the kids who grew up with the film including the direct-to-video sequels and TV series will be DEAD.
@@hunterolaughlinHeck, they literally announce MOANA live action remake, and it's only 6 or 7 years old, the fact that a 6-7 year old movie is going to be made just shows how desperate Disney is.
Live action Lilo and Stitch is one of the worst ideas Disney has ever had... and that's saying a lot. I truly cannot imagine a live action version of it being good.
In a world of “alpha males”, be a David. Never judges Nani for basically being a single parent, struggling to make ends meet, or having to balance maintaining her job with raising her sister. He unconditionally cares about her and knows that they have a meaningful relationship that’s worth building. He doesn’t let superficial and temporary aspects prevent him from being with her. One of Disney’s best leading male characters if not THE best!
i remember being deeply fascinated with this movie when i first saw it (still am), because in spite of the alien shenanigans, the situation lilo and nani find themselves in is very real. so many disney movies before this weren't really concerned with the aftermath of the death of a parent, and here lilo & stitch barges onto the scene - promising alien shenanigans with their quirky trailers, and delivering a raw story about two sisters struggling to stay afloat with CPS on their necks and a weapon of mass-destruction incarnate having an existential crisis.
Funny thing is, I recently rewatched it and I was analyzing it myself. Particularly I was looking into how everything tied up perfectly in it. Example: Stitch's original reason for being with Lilo was to use her as a meat shield so Jumba wouldn't risk shooting him, Jumba through following Stitch around looking for a chance to shoot him is being surprised by all the unexpected things Stich is doing, like how he's actually surfing against the risk of drowning, in the end, I kind of think Jumba was convinced to help stitch so easily was cause he had seen all that stitch was going through.
Actually, one thing I noticed that cheered me up was, the galactic federation was GOING to maroon Stich on an uninhabited asteroid, but when he crash landed on Earth, he was KINDA marooned there anyway, and without any major cities to terrorize like he wanted- in a way, his fate was the same from the big picture- with the exception that he's not lonely.
This film was beautiful in every way and meant a lot to me once I finally watched it. The characters relationships and family struggles were far more real then they should have been in a movie with an alien dressed up as Elvis.
Dude I’ve been saying this FOR YEARS: Lilo & Stitch is the perfect film (and personally one of my favorites of all time as well). I’m even writing my Uni dissertation on it, as I’m taking an Animation BA. Chris’ art style is also one of my main visual inspirations for my personal art style. Thank you for not holding back in praising how absolutely phenomenal this piece of art is in literally every way - and it’s an honor hearing it from a Hawaiian person.
I think Hawaiian rollercoaster ride was meant to show how stitch shouldn't fear water but embrace and respect it as both a powerful yet fun and relaxing force. If you panic in water you drown but if you respect and have fun with it you won't
Lilo & Stitch has been my favorite Disney movie since when I was growing up. And even now, the more times I rewatch it or listen to analysis on it like this video, the more I adore it. It’s interesting how when you’re a kid, Stitch’s shenanigans and the aliens are more entertaining, but then when you grow up, Lilo and Nani’s familial struggles are more relatable and stick with you more. Truly an artwork of a film all around.
Not to mention That The Movie Had Kevin Michael Richardson Who Voiced Captain Gatu and Cogsworth's Voice Actor, David Ogden Stiers Who Voiced Jumba is One of The Many Things That Made The Movie Great and One of the Best Movies That Disney Has Ever Made.
This has become one of my most favorite of Disney movies, as I love the ocean, as well as being near the location of the place my parents visited. I LOVE the family dynamic and the beautiful paintings of the backgrounds. The fact that they add so much of the culture, mixing it with aliens is icing on my favorite choice of cake! Thank you very much for your video, and translating the meaning of one of their songs! I really appreciate it! Aloha, Cousin! ^^
Yes Lilo and Stitch is extremely underrated yet it was extremely successful on first launch but I’m not sure on treasure planet/island and the lost empire though Stitch on the other hand Yes
@@racheljackson4428 Fun Fact: The reason this film exists is because Michel Eisner said that there needed to be a film that was cheaper than Tarzan and Atlantis the Lost Empire, a good example was Dumbo which also had a low budget. Thankfully Chris Sanders had just the thing.
I remember being the same age as Lilo when this movie came out. It was so special to me because it was also the year I would first meet my grandma in Hawai’i (Kailua in fact!) I remember becoming so interested in hula that she made an outfit for me. I remember bringing my Lilo and Stitch happy meal toys to Kauai on the same trip. This movie is near and dear to my heart.
Man, anyone get the old Stitch Disney hat back in the day? The one where it was just his upper jaw lol I don't think iv seen a character hat as awesome as that one to this day.
"X-Men The Animated Series" was so well crafted. The story of mutants was so universally relatable. Media abstractly taught me life lessons, touched on difficult situations, found intelligent ways to tell stories. So much so that even when I've gone back & rewatched them as a adult. I realized how well they told & crafted stories that anyone can enjoy & appreciate them. (Pretty much anything created by Don Bluth or Written by Roald Dahl) The Brave Little Toaster, James and the giant peach, The never ending story, Rocko's modern life, The secret of the Nimh, Little Nemo and the adventures of Slumberland, beetle juice, Alice in wonderland, Rock-a-doodle, Captain Planet, Thundercats, He-man, Spawn, Batman, Batman beyond, toxic crusaders, Matilda, The BFG, Ren and stimpy, courage the cowardly dog, magic school bus, Dexter's laboratory, pinky and the brain, I am weasel, IR Baboon, Ah! Real monster's, goosebumps, are you afraid of the dark, pee wee's playhouse, she-ra warrior princess, cow & chicken, gargoyle's, power rangers, TMNT, the Indian in the cupboard, Addams family, Jumanji, Hook, the sword and the stone, the black cauldron, toy soldier's, honey I shrunk the kid's, wild thornberries, hey Arnold, angry beaver's, Flintstones, the Jetsons, Kablam, So many 2D Disney movies, So many more I won't list them all but they had such creative range. So many ways of telling stories. So many types of creatures, unique worlds, weird things, macabre things. I loved how we used to embrace those things. Nowadays everything is so bland or Shallow live action version's filed with nonsense & hollowness. I miss the Era of creativity, of animated series, of things that made us utilize our intelligence. Artistic depictions of the Human condition that connects us on a deeper level. No matter what kind of character, creature, specie's they are. I seriously don't understand who can enjoy these modern live action movies. Filled with so much disconnected CGI. What happened to Practical effects? Now it's Cheap cop outs, bad writing, acting, filming. Storytelling that is treating our entire audience like they are 2 yr olds that just need a pair of shiney keys waved in front of them for entertainment... it's a very bland & soulless way to entertain... Seeing how things are nowadays, i feel so lucky that i got to grow up in the 90's. Back then I never could have guessed that things would have changed the ways they did. It was such a great time to be a kid during the 90s. The world seemed to have so many creative ways kids, teens and adults could all enjoy themselves. Entertaining movies with practical effects. Animated movies/shows galore. If they used CGI it was used intelligently. I really miss the Vibe of that Era. The creativity that came from that era. I really hope we find a way to reconnect with it because the world seems like it really needs it right now. I mean just look at the aesthetics compared to now? Things have somehow become so bland, bleek, and minimalism that it doesn't even make since. Most Old house's/building's/uúnique shop's are gone. Interesting oddities like drive in movies, indoor fun zones, arcade's, magazines that came with a demo disc to try out game's, blockbuster/Hollywood video, McDonald's had N64's, you could preview music before buying it, they had great kid's toy's, Roller Rink's, Garbage pale kid's card's. You get the point. I want to reignite that feel sort of like Retro-Futurism or that Y2K Vibe compared to this current Dystopian pessimism that seems solely focused purely on capitalistic agendas. Our Quality of Life should be better than this.
Of all RU-vid creators, I've never seen a video where someone who has lineage to a piece of media (i.e. Aldone, whose Hawaiian, covers Lilo and Stitch, a movie that takes place in Hawaii. I never learned much about this movie from others who've reviewed it, but after watching this video, I learned so much.
I watched this as a little girl and saw things more or less from Lilo's perspective. Now I'm an adult and understand Nani's perspective on the situation a bit more. She's just trying to keep what little family she has left
Agent Bubbles is my favorite character in almost any film. Edit: It would make it a lot less exhausting for me if you could pause for breath once in a while. Maybe do short musical, non-verbal interludes?
Iirc, cutting out silences between sentences is actually a thing RU-vidrs do quite often in order to maintain viewers' attention, similar to how some RU-vidrs that rely more on visuals have a lot of cuts or things moving on screen
@@47ratsinahoodie I really miss old long unedited let’s plays, nowadays people only post the funny scenes. Some channels can condense 24 hours of gameplay into a 15 minute video, it’s ridiculous.
This and hunchbavk of notre dame are my favorite Disney movies and are both mature, beautiful, funny and engaging for both kids and adults. Unlike certain Disney movies I have seen which are kiddie rubbish.
I had no idea about the plane hijacking scene!!!! The alien ship makes more sense though, we get to see how Jumba and Pleakley got there. Thus utilizing a story element that was already in the film.
After these years, it's still hard for me to struggle and balance with the fact that even though the animated film was likable and warm, it also exoticizes and commercializes Hawaii and Hawaiian people. And I wouldn't have become aware of this problem if I hadn't accidentally watched a documentary about it when I was a child (because my mother mistakenly thought it was the movie). And I'm still a little shocked by what Hawaiians themselves felt and thought about the Lilo and Stitch movie and its first sequel at that time.
I'm really glad to watch this and k now your connection to the movie. I have no personal connection aside from a great love for Chris Sanders as an artist, but Lilo & Stitch is my 2nd favourite Disney behind Lion King 1 and 2 because those I have personal connections to.
I dont think the ice cream man is losing. I think in my weird brain even as a kid that he has severe dairy allergies or diabetes and it’s him trying to end it all on his last vacation but life wants him to carry on.
Being a hardcore svi Fi fan, this is my all time favorite film by Disney. Do excited for the live-action remake next year. Stitch in my opinion, has always been like Disney's Sonic The Hedgehog. 🤣
Hercules and Lilo and Stitch are my favourites Disney animated movies. I'm dreading for the unavoidable live action remakes. Why Disney? Just why? Leave our childhood memories alone!!!
12:52 I can only assume that they were probably going to do an autopsy, since it was such a strange, looking dog. I don’t get why he would be in a cage though.
Cool also saw some comments online about a few scenes like 7:36, 9:00, 9:15, 11:38 being suprising they got made and on tv. Not sure how or why that happened but movies one of the best
Lilo and stitch is one of my favorite film. Top 3, for sure. I’m not a person of color But I’m sure that Disney got many Cultures right in there movies like lilo and stitch, Princess and the frog, Aladdin, Hunchback of Notre Dame(Minusing The G racial Slur), Encanto, Moana, Etc.
Been watching your videos for about a week or so now, and I didn't know you were Hawaiian. What island do you live on? My family lived on the Big Island for 4 years when I was younger. We lived in Kona for 3 years, and Hilo our last year there.
For some reason lilo and stitch feels more like a Pixar movie than a Disney movie. I know Pixar’s big thing is 3d animation, but the story, creativity, and weirdness of this amazing movie feels more like a Pixar creation than that of Disney
i like your effort here, but to be honest half of this video was saying things in Hawaiian and translating them instead of analyzing the movie which from the thumbnail/title i thought it would be about. you were also retelling the movie a lot (summerazation) instead of adding anything to it that explained why you think its so perfect. i didnt get much out of this video, but you seem like a new channel so i'm 100% sure you can improve. all love!
You do not know Aldone's background, and neither do I! If he is Hawaiian, how do you know that he is Hawaiian? Does he say that in this video? Did he tell us that somewhere else?
In my opinion, this movie suffers from one fatal flaw. It does one thing very, very well, and that is the story of Lilo and Nani. The Hawai'ian cultural aspect is part of that. I found the whole alien plot to be a distraction. Whenever it went to them, I just fond myself thinking, "Can we go back to the story of the sisters please?" You could have replaced Stitch with literally anything, and it wouldn't have made a difference in the story of Lilo and Nani. He could have been a dog, a cat, a rabbit, or a robot and their story wouldn't have been affected. I guess I'm saying that Lilo & Stitch should have been Lilo & Nani and have the focus be on the sisters' relationship. It wouldn't have been the first movie about a broken family trying to stay together, but it would have been one of the best. I'm not sure how the movie would have played out without the alien plot, but I stand by what I said before that it just distracted me from the real heart of the story, which was Lilo and Nani. Oh, I also like how they approached Cobra Bubbles. They could have made him a straight up villain, but no, they took a very realistic and very mature approach to his character. He is just a man doing his job, and sadly, his job sometimes requires him to make very heartbreaking decisions.
Absolutely NOT. It's far FAR from being "perfect," and not even one of the top 20 best Disney animated films. By this logic just because I'm Hispanic, "Encanto" or "Coco" should be my number 1 favorite film just because "representation." And no, neither of those two are on the top 20 Disney animated films either.
Jeez. You are talking as its a big deal and its the worst movie. And AGAIN. You people say these things without explanations. So you are just doing this for no reason and just to spite.
