3/4
"The one Disney movie worth a damn in the post-Katzenberg era."  Film Freak Central  Bill Chambers

B-
"The chaotic lead characters are not the sorts one will usually see in a Disney film."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

3/4
"Disney's most effortlessly charming and satisfying [hand-drawn] creation since 1999's Tarzan."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

3.5/4
"Disney's Lilo & Stitch is worthy of Looney Tunes."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

B+
"A highly watchable, giggly little story with a sweet edge to it."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

3.5/4
"The funniest character you are likely to see created in any film all year."  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

C+
"A half-hearted effort by Disney's traditional animation department."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

2/4
"Lilo & Stitch could be considered a safe and amiable vehicle for the powers-that-be at the Disney stable. But that's probably this movie's main downfall--it's TOO safe in a time where the sophisticated outlook of cinema is progressive"  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

B
"A curious hybrid of a movie, but it's still a good deal of fun, and it looks absolutely scrumptious."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2.5/4
"This movie represents a low point in Disney animation, occasionally resembling a high-budget Saturday morning cartoon."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3/4
"The movie's slightly offbeat tone and comic rhythms work well with the simple and bright animation techniques."  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

"Much like recent animated efforts such as "Shrek", "Lilo & Stitch" has lots of humour and sly pop cultural references that will appeal to adults . . ."  Sci-Fi Movie Page  James O'Ehley

4/5
"Disney sci-fi action-comedy goes Hawaiian, rejecting formula and finding freshness and fun."  Netflix  James Rocchi

3.5/4
"Stitch's crazy antics are an edgy counterpart to Lilo's poignant social isolation; the engaging yin and yang of the narrative."  Palo Alto Weekly  Jeanne Aufmuth

9/10
"For Lilo & Stitch, which appears at first to be another routine exploration of finding acceptance, the difference is in the details."  Window to the Movies  Jeffrey Chen

2.5/4
"It's probably the best cartoon that the studio has released since Mulan."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman

6.5/10
"Nothing great and certainly not a classic, but nevertheless entertaining enough."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

7/10
"Not as creative or exciting as its original teaser trailers, but still an enjoyable time at the theaters."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

7/10
"...with its good humor, quick pace, deft direction, and beautiful art work, the film is a pleasure."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

"...an excellent reminder that in the right hands, the fine art of hand-drawn animation can still be relevant and entertaining."  Light Views  John Larsen

8/10
"Disney's best summer offering since the last time a no-nonsense cartoon girl with straight black hair hit the screen (that'd be "Mulan")"  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

5/5
"Metaphor for ADD? Touched me deeply...astonishingly adult."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

4/4
"... nobody is really a villain, nobody has to die, and everything works out in spite of all the chaos... the only thing "Lilo & Stitch" leaves you wanting is more."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

A-
"Certainly the hippest of Disney's animation, "Lilo & Stitch" has more in common with "Edward Scissorhands" than "Snow White.""  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

8/10
"Lilo & Stitch es una historia contemporánea pintada con los pinceles clásicos de los estudios Disney."  Cinenganos  Luis Martinez

3/4
"A solid and entertaining introduction to characters who need much more freedom to really let themselves shine."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

"Just about glorious, in its wonderful originality, widely emotionally engulfing like no Disney film has been since ‘The Lion King.’"  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

3.5/4
"A raucous comedy/adventure [and] easily one of the strangest products to ever emerge from the Disney animation pipeline."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

3.5/5
"Easily one of the strangest products to ever emerge from the Disney animation pipeline."  Film Threat  Michael Dequina

4/5
"A lot of energetic, laugh-out-loud fun, with enough there to keep the adults in the room entertained."  Goatdog's Movies  Michael W. Phillips, Jr.

3.5/4
"This is the traditional Disney magic wrapped in a wonderfully original and imaginative new package."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

4/5
"As welcome as a gentle breeze through the hibiscus, with animation that shows those CGI smarties that there are still a few things machines can’t do. "  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

3/5
"Não encanta como 'O Rei Leão' nem diverte como 'A Nova Onda do Imperador', mas ao menos não cansa como 'Atlantis: O Reino Perdido'."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

4.5/5
"One of the most enjoyable and genuinely funny animated features [Disney's] ever made."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

C+
"An amusing Disney animated feature which works better for kids than adults."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

B+
"The offbeat sci-fi adventure coupled with a quite touching story of family-lost/family-gained will appeal to a broad audience demographic."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

2/5
"Not every animated film from Disney will become a classic, but forgive me if I’ve come to expect more from this studio than some 79-minute after-school “cartoon”."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

"Ultimately turns out to be another mild Disney adventure that waves the banner of friendship and acceptance."  Eclipse Magazine  Sean O'Connell

3.5/4
""The best Disney movie since the Lion King""  sbs.is  Stefan Birgir Stefansson

B+
"Sharply creative and surprisingly human… Like Stitch's spacecraft crashlanding on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, Disney's Lilo & Stitch is a bolt from the blue."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus

5/10
"What's a bit disappointing is the hand-drawn animation, resembling the old Looney Tunes cartoons."  www.susangranger.com  Susan Granger

3.5/4
"The best Disney animated film in years."  Oscar Guy  Wesley Lovell
