The potential for a fun but thought-provoking tale of adoption and belonging was pushed aside for in-your-face characters that are hard to warm to. The movie opens on an alien world where a scientist is on trial for genetically engineering a violent creature Stitch. This creature angrily utters some alien gibberish which causes several other creatures to gasp in shock and one to bend over double to vomit. Stitch is captured, a large needle is injected into his brain and a pink liquid is extracted.
This simply annoys him, causing him to angrily thrash about so no suffering is hinted at but kids may be upset that such an invasive thing is done to Stitch. The alien scientist that created Stitch goes to Earth with another alien to try to retrieve Stitch or kill him if necessary.
They are constantly on the verge of capturing Stitch; one time the scientist drags Stich underwater, he grabs hold of Lilo so she gets dragged under as well. They are both saved but this becomes a little scary as the moment of being pulled underwater lasts around 10 seconds.
An alien is blasted by exhaust flames from a spaceship and plummets smoldering and bouncing off mountain peaks. An alien and a young man are hit with a volleyball, an alien dumps a sno-cone on a dog's head, and an alien licks the side of his glass containment vessel and we see slime dripping.
Something shoots through the sky in flames and we hear it hit the ground in the distance. Girls are mean to another girl; not inviting her to play. A young man dances with flaming torches, drinks a flammable liquid, spits it out causing a flare-up and sets a thatch-roofed stage on fire; we see him a bit charred. An alien is flung from a tree and sails through the air. Mosquitoes swarm an alien and we see him later wrapped with bandages and covered with welts.
An alien shoves two pieces of cake in his mouth, then pulls them out of his mouth, and reaches down his throat for a cherry to put back on top. An alien sticks his tongue in his nostril. An alien wags his backside at aliens and people a few times, and a dog sniffs an alien's backside.

Helped me decide 1. Had useful details. Adult Written by megan ruth April 9, Watching this movie stressed me out - not what I expect from children's entertainment. Had useful details 1. Realistic with positive family message I'll give negative-ish feedback first. Can be a little too much violence for younger kids, but most kids are exposed to WAY more on a daily basis at school just being around peers. The language stupidhead, idiot, etc.
They have a social worker that is threatening to take Lilo out of the care of her sister Nani. While this is a heavy storyline, it's realistic. As a foster parent, it's a reality that many children have to face. On that note, it's nice to have a representation of real situations that kids are going through more than people realize.
The death of parents, a family member struggling to take care of them while also working, social workers, learning to manage anger issues and bullies, feeling like a broken family. This is reality, and it's a beautiful message that there is redemption from that situation. There are several sad moments, heavy topics, and some violence. However, children over the age of 6 are SURELY exposed to all of those simply by attending school or living their lives.
Great movie that emphasizes the importance of family and relationships! Adult Written by Wr8 September 14, Not for young children I tried watching the movie with my 5yr old and 10 yr old and had to turn it off.
Lilo is disrespectful to just about everyone and violent attacking a child in when faced with conflict , Stitch is violent, scary and destructive. Plus the crude language and manipulations of the rest of the characters are unsettling. To have this influence on young children embedded even a shred into their thoughts is best to be avoided. Sad representation of a Disney movie.
Adult Written by Mamawills February 17, Scary themes and social worker coming to the house could be triggering for some kids. Lilo also bites and scratches another girl. Parent of a 3-year-old Written by Kdec October 28, Right away the little girl pummels another, knocking her to the ground while hitting and biting her.
The sister then shows up and upon almost getting hit by a car she kicks the car and calls the driver a stupid head. Read my mind. Parent Written by Liz C. June 6, Nani is a very strong character. It shows Nani being annoyed with Lilo at some points, which as much as we may hate to admit it, is realistic.
