action
An alien mad scientist, Dr. Jumba Jookiba, is jailed for conducting illegal genetic experiments and creating creatures designed to wreak havoc and destruction. His most recent experiment is number 626: a small, blue alien who is stronger, faster, smarter and more destructive than it appears. On his way to a penal colony, 626 crashed into a small Hawaiian island on Earth. He disguises himself as a dog and is adopted by a little girl named Lilo, who lives with her sister Nani after her parents are killed in a car accident. Lilo is lonely and kind of an outsider until she finds a new friend in 626 whom she calls Stitch.
Lilo tries to teach Stitch behavior by using Elvis Presley and his music as a model for good behavior, but Stitch's destructive intentions make it difficult for everyone, especially Nani, who wants to provide a stable, home environment for Lilo by trying to create one to find a permanent job. Since they are constantly monitored by the social worker Cobra Bobo, Lilo runs the risk of being sent to the children's home if their living conditions do not improve.
Things are made even more difficult by Jumba and Agent Pliiklii, who have been hired to capture Stitch. After their failure and the consequent release, another alien named Captain Gantu is entrusted with the task. But this one catches Lilo and Stitch, but Stitch escapes. Lilo is kidnapped by Captain Gantu. Stitch, Jamba, Pliiklii and Nani finally save the girl.
At the end of the film, the President of the Council ends up on earth in person to capture Stitch herself, as Captain Gantu does not report success quickly enough either. Stitch is now captured and his wish to stay on earth is initially rejected. But Lilo shows her purchase agreement because she had initially bought Stitch at the animal shelter. Since aliens always respect the law and it would be theft if they just took Stitch with them, the President of the Council is happy to be able to leave Stitch with his new family. Jumba and Pliiklii are sentenced to stay on earth as well, to keep an eye on the new family. Cobra Bobo, the social worker and former alien hunter, is also satisfied with this situation, but, like the Council President, fears both the resulting paperwork and the problem of explaining this to his superiors. Lilo and Nani now have a large, if somewhat chaotic, family of aliens.
Production and creation
Lilo & Stitch is the second of three Disney cartoons that was produced primarily at Disney- MGM Studios in Orlando , Florida .
The movie was originally intended to be set in Kansas , so Stitch could interact with other characters without wreaking havoc. The decision to change the location of the film to the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i was an important way to further elaborate the story.
“Cartoons are so often made in medieval Europe, so many fairy tales have their roots there, that it was a big leap to set it up in Hawaii. But that decision changed the whole film and rewrote the story for us, ”says Chris Sanders.
While the animation team went to Kaua'i to see the scene, their guide explained the meaning of “ohana” in the sense of an extended family. This conception of 'ohana became an important part of the film.
“No matter where we went, our guide seemed to know someone. He was really the one who explained to us the Hawaiian concept of 'ʻohana', a sense of family that goes well beyond immediate relatives. This notion influenced the story so much that it became the main theme, which is how Stitch evolves despite what it was created for, which is to destroy, ”said Dean DeBlois.
The island of Kaua'i previously appeared in films such as Raiders of the Lost Ark or the Jurassic Park trilogy. The producers were faced with the challenge of mixing the film's story, which depicts the impoverished and troubled life many Hawaiians and other residents of western states went through during the past economic downturn, with the island's peaceful beauty.
To give the film a lighter appearance, the studio used watercolors to paint the backgrounds. This technique had not been used since Dumbo (1941). Because of the production schedules that have been tightening since Dumbo , watercolors were risky. One wrong stroke could ruin an image, and with around 1200 backgrounds for this movie, there was no time to waste. Opaque gouache and acrylic painting, the current industry standards, are more forgiving of mistakes as an artist can paint over them. By using watercolors, Disney artists had to carefully plan a background before starting work to avoid mistakes. Sanders and the studio's background department looked for easier ways to get the light look, but eventually decided that traditional watercolors were the way to go and had the Orlando staff trained in the technique.
The original plan for the end of Lilo & Stitch was completely changed due to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 . The original ending shows Stitch stealing a Boeing 747 and taking a spin through the business and hotel towers of Honolulu . The custom ending uses a spaceship with Jamba at the helm soaring through clouds and a narrow valley while Stitch steals a full tank truck and sinks it into the crater of a volcano.

publication

In the meantime, the uncut version has also been released on Blu-ray with an FSK approval and no age limit.

The film drew the sequels Stitch & Co. - the film in 2003 and Lilo & Stitch 2 - Stitch completely turned off in 2005 after themselves, with Lilo & Stitch 2 in the time between the first film and Stitch & Co. plays. The original name of Lilo & Stitch 2 is : Stitch has a glitch ("Stitch has a worm / a disorder"). The TV series called Lilo & Stitch , which continues the story of Stitch & Co. , also followed. In May 2007, another sequel called Leroy & Stitch was released in Europe, which continues the story of the Lilo & Stitch series and the Japanese show Yuna & Stitch . This takes place in the time when Lilo grew up and Stitch, Jamba and Pliiklii live on a Japanese island and have many adventures with the local girl Yuna.
Real film remake
On October 3, 2018, Disney was planning a real-life remake of Lilo and Stitch. Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich were announced as producers , based on a script by Mike Van Waes .
criticism
“A refreshingly cheeky cartoon from Disney that charmingly undermines the otherwise rather rigid (graphic) structures of the studio; In doing so, he once again celebrates the traditional (family) values, which he manages to do in a subtle, soulful, amusing and rousing manner. "
Names
Stitch means something like "stitch" or "thread" in German, Nani is the Hawaiian word for "beautiful". The name Lilo did not originally exist in Hawaii. The name is originally from Germany and was brought with them by German settlers and missionaries who came to Hawaii in the late 19th century. German names or words were later incorporated into Hawaiian grammar. The Hawaiian word lilo means, among other things, "lost" or "transform".
