 "There is a subversive element to this Disney cartoon, providing unexpected fizzability."
-- The Wolf, IOFILM.CO.UK
"The first half bursts with a goofy energy previous Disney films only used for a few minutes here and there."
-- Jeffrey Westhoff, NORTHWEST HERALD (CRYSTAL LAKE, IL)
"A very charming and funny movie."
-- Gregory Weinkauf, NEW TIMES
 "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”."
-- Scott Weinberg, EFILMCRITIC.COM
"The early and middle passages are surprising in how much they engage and even touch us. This is not a classical dramatic animated feature, nor a hip, contemporary, in-jokey one. It's sort of in-between, and it works."
-- Ian Waldron-Mantgani, UK CRITIC
"Never does "Lilo & Stitch" reach the emotion or timelessness of Disney's great past, or even that of more recent successes such as "Mulan" or "Tarzan.""
-- Phil Villarreal, ARIZONA DAILY STAR
"One of the most unpleasant things the studio has ever produced."
-- Jeff Vice, DESERET NEWS, SALT LAKE CITY
"Stitch is a bad mannered, ugly and destructive little ****. No cute factor here…. Not that I mind ugly; the problem is he has no character, loveable or otherwise."
-- Urban Cinefile Critics, URBAN CINEFILE
"A return to pure Disney magic and is enjoyable family fare."
-- Tony Toscano, TALKING PICTURES
"A curious hybrid of a movie, but it's still a good deal of fun,
and it looks absolutely scrumptious."
-- Frank Swietek, ONE GUY'S OPINION
"Kids will love its fantasy and adventure, and grownups should appreciate its whimsical humor."
-- David Sterritt, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR
"When one sees Stitch, a blue blob sporting pointy teeth, an oversized head and six appendages, comparisons to past Disney works go out the window. After years of
predictability, “Lilo and Stitch” is a crazy ride all its own."
-- Steven Snyder, ZERTINET MOVIES
"In addition to scoring high for originality of plot -- putting together familiar themes of family, forgiveness and love in a new way -- Lilo & Stitch has a number of other assets to commend it to movie audiences both innocent and jaded."
-- Shirley Sealy, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL

"When it's playing the laugh cards, it's positively hilarious. But--when it tries to play any other card in the deck, it comes up unfortunately short."
-- Widgett Walls, NEEDCOFFEE.COM
"A refreshingly low-tech cartoon."
-- Scott Von Doviak, FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM
"Não encanta como 'O Rei Leão' nem diverte como 'A Nova Onda do Imperador', mas ao menos não cansa como 'Atlantis: O Reino Perdido'."
-- Pablo Villaca, CINEMA EM CENA
"If "Lilo & Stitch" isn't the most edgy piece of Disney animation to hit the silver screen, then this first film to use a watercolor background since "Dumbo" certainly ranks as the most original in years."
-- John Urbancich, SUN NEWSPAPERS OF CLEVELAND
"It's not quite enough of a treat to recommend to child-free adults, but grownups with kids have nothing to fear from this good-hearted, badassed comedy."
-- Catharine Tunnacliffe, EYE WEEKLY
"At the end of the movie, my 6-year-old nephew said, "I guess I come from a broken family, and my uncles are all aliens, too." Congrats Disney on a job well done, I enjoyed it just as much!"
-- Michael Szymanski, ZAP2IT.COM
"A universally accessible family fantasy with a stronger sense of its time and place than most live-action films can claim."
-- Bob Strauss, LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS
""The best Disney movie since the Lion King""
-- Stefan Birgir Stefansson, SBS.IS
"A highly watchable, giggly little story with a sweet edge to it."
-- Eric D. Snider, ERICDSNIDER.COM
"The chaotic lead characters are not the sorts one will usually see in a Disney film and that makes for a certain amount of unpredictability before it all returns to business as usual."
-- Dennis Schwartz, OZUS' WORLD MOVIE REVIEWS

FRESH 73%
Avg. Rating: 7.4/10 |
"While dutifully pulling on heartstrings, directors Dean Deblois and Chris Sanders valiantly keep punching up the mix."
-- Bruce Westbrook, HOUSTON CHRONICLE
"This is a happy throwback to the time when cartoons were cinema's most idiosyncratic form instead of one of its most predictable."
-- Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"A beguiling splash of pastel colors and prankish comedy from Disney."
-- Jan Stuart, NEWSDAY
"It's a film that's destined to win a wide summer audience through word-of-mouth reviews and, not far down the line, to find a place among the studio's animated classics."
-- Susan Stark, DETROIT NEWS
"An example of quiet, confident craftsmanship that tells a sweet, charming tale of intergalactic friendship."
-- A.O. Scott, NEW YORK TIMES
"[A] crushing disappointment."
-- Richard Roeper, EBERT & ROEPER
"The result is something quite fresh and delightful."
-- Michael Rechtshaffen, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"A picture that extols the virtues of comradeship and community in a spunky, spirited fashion."
-- Steven Rea, PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
"Witty, touching and well paced."
-- Claudia Puig, USA TODAY
"Mostly the film is just hectic and homiletic: two parts exhausting Men in Black mayhem to one part family values."
-- Ed Park, VILLAGE VOICE

"Despite its Hawaiian setting, the science-fiction trimmings and some moments of rowdy slapstick, the basic plot of "Lilo" could have been pulled from a tear-stained vintage Shirley Temple script."
-- James Sanford, KALAMAZOO GAZETTE
