Stitch! The Movie | Rotten Tomatoes (1) David Nusair Reel Film Reviews The movie's geared-solely-towards-kids approach is evident in virtually all of its attributes... Rated: 1/4 Feb 4, 2016 Full Review Stitch! The Movie | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy Disney had to call it something, and "Pilot Episode for an Upcoming TV Series That We're Shamelessly Going to Make You Pay for Separately" is a lot of words for a DVD spine. Rated: 5/10 Mar 14, 2013 Full Review Stitch! The Movie | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Brian Webster Apollo Guide Less substantial than the original, but still quality family entertainment that's light-years ahead of most of its competition for the eyes and hearts of pint-sized viewers. Rated: 73/100 Oct 14, 2003 Full Review Stitch! The Movie | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Bill Chambers Film Freak Central The film's brevity is due to sacrifices in character, not plot, and that's a shame, since it wasn't exactly the chaos of Lilo & Stitch's narrative that made it so ultimately charming Rated: 2/4 Aug 24, 2003 Full Review Stitch! The Movie | Rotten Tomatoes (5) David Cornelius eFilmCritic.com It is missing a great deal of the original movie's heart... This one's more sitcom-y, less endearing, a little bland. Rated: 2/5 Aug 23, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Jaiden i Really good had a good thing for it not better then the original but good added more backstory shows the anxiety in stitch and how much he cares for lilo he shows he’s sorry and lilo helps him too and learns that stitch need lilo like lilo need stitch and all of it in a very short time and you can see in the competition how much lilo cares for stitch she keeps looking back and then think no stitch need me and runs to help and it shows stitch cares for lilo because he try’s to run away from earth to escape hurting lilo good movie should watch Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review SkyRo P The Lilo and Stitch franchise has expanded far beyond the initial movie, with subsequent installments and a popular television series that have kept the beloved characters in the spotlight. While the first movie catapulted Stitch to megastar status, the subsequent releases have allowed fans to deepen their connection with the characters and fall even more in love with them.The second film, "Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch," while a decent adaptation, lacked some of the emotional depth and compassion that made the first movie so special. It still showcased the lovable characters fans adore, but perhaps fell short in capturing the same magic as the original.The television series, "Lilo and Stitch: The Series," followed the adventures of Lilo and Stitch as they chased down experiments, captivating audiences for two seasons. Many fans, both young and old, found themselves drawn to the animated series, which provided a more in-depth exploration of the characters and their world.While the franchise also introduced new characters such as Leroy in "Leroy and Stitch," not all additions resonated with audiences as well as Stitch did. The character of Angel, Stitch's companion, underwent significant development throughout the franchise, becoming a noteworthy figure despite not being as prominent in the movies."Stitch: The Movie" offered another perspective on the beloved character, reigniting fans' excitement and leading to attractions at Disney World and a surge in merchandise sales worldwide. While subsequent installments may not have captured the same essence as the original film, they still offer an enjoyable viewing experience for fans of the franchise. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Nathan B YOU'RE FREE (to spend your remaining years in this light house alone) Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/06/24 Full Review Luke R It's a pretty good film! Good childhood! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Doug Y Parece mais um episódio do que um filme em si, é legal o filme, bem divertido, foi o inicio para gerar a série do Lilo & Stitch, porém a Disney poderia ter investido mais na qualidade da animação, para que não fique com muita cara de apenas um episódio de uma série. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/23 Full Review Luke A I watched this movie when I was younger, and I loved it, but now rewatching it at 15, it wasn't very good. And I know that sounds like I dislike it just because I grew up, but I actually still really enjoy kids movies. I just rewatched the Ice Age movies, and I gave them all 5/5 stars. It's just that this movie wasn't very much, and if you don't have a young child watching with you, it's not worth the watch. But I do think it is perfect for little kids. Stitch is still one of the best Disney characters though. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
