| Lilo & Stitch 2 / Stitch Has a Glitch : 4 of 5 | |

 Lilo & Stitch is one of my favorite recent Disney movies, with a fantastic, touching story, cool character designs, and beautiful watercolor backgrounds. The subsequent TV series, along with its introductory DVD movie, were just OK - I got tired of all the bizarre characters that were supposed to be Jumba's other 625 experiments. Thankfully, this movie is worthy of being called Lilo & Stitch 2 - there's no real mention of all those goofy experiments from the series, allowing the characters to really act and tell a fun story! The character acting is especially good, including a tender scene under Lilo's bed where she comforts the sad Stitch when he feels guilty for being bad, and a some really amazing animation when Lilo strokes Stitch's furry chest when she thinks he's dead (guess that's a big spoiler there!). I also loved seeing Jumba crying at the "beauty" of a sci-fi movie on TV (the classic giant ant film, Them). There's lots of backstory on the characters, including the moment that Stitch is born and Jumba is arrested, as well as mention and photos of Lilo and Nani's mother, who was pretty much unspoken of in the first film. I wasn't totally satisfied with Dakota Fanning's voice as Lilo, but the acting was definitely fine. My only other complaint is that it seemed a little silly for Lilo to be driving around in Stitch's hovercraft. Other than that, I was really satisfied with this excellent DVD sequel!
