Movie Challenge: Day 21- Movie that You Watch When You’re Happy

Lilo & Stitch

This is my favorite animated (non-Pixar) Disney film. The perfect mix of sci-fi, humor (although kiddie), and heart makes this a smart and original movie. Stitch's tribulation throughout the film of being hunted down just for the simple fact that nobody wanted him is a reflection of how we, humans feel from time to time. The story of learning one's place in the world (in this case the universe) is presented with the revelation that family is home. Even through tragedy and indifference some form of a family exists, either in blood and/or friends. With the wonderful artwork all done through water-color and the interesting yet beautiful Hawaiian soundtrack (with a mix of The King in there), "Lilo & Stitch" broke from the classical Disney-produced musicals AND it succeeded. Spawning multiple sequels and a very well produced television show continuing the story of Stitch's 'ohana, it was no wonder that Disney has accepted this film as one of the classics.
