  Lilo & Stitch Well, I finally got around to what some have called the funniest Disney movie ever made.
It may well live up to that claim, but it also has a sweetness to rival many of the classics. Lilo & Stitch is the story of an genetically created alien killing machine who escapes to the planet Earth, a galactic nature reserve for the preservation of mosquitos. While on Earth, the alien poses as a dog, befriending a orphan girl, Lilo, who may be taken into care away from her older sister if they cannot prove they can exist as a family.
As far as Disney films go, this is up there with the likes of Aladdin and The Lion King. The humour ranges from the standard slapstick to the utterly surreal (Stitch's construction and destruction of "San Francisco" is a highlight). However, it is the ability of the story to pluck at the heartstrings that lifts this to a classic status. The struggle of two outsiders to find their place is the world is done to stunning effect. There are flaws in the plot, such as the changing attitude of Stitch's creator towards the conclusion, but as a great bit of escapist fun, Lilo & Stitch is a winner. 4/5
