Tarzan
."

Dustin Putman

is worthy of Looney Tunes."

Eric D. Snider
3.5/4

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

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

"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

Film Threat
Michael Dequina
4/5

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."

Susan Granger
