Summary: Far, far away, on an alien planet, a rogue scientist named Jumba (voiced by David Ogden Stiers) has created a bright blue creature called Experiment 626 (Chris Sanders), through illegal genetic research. This new creature loves destruction and chaos; he's considered dangerous enough to be exiled to a deep space lockup. But 626 steals a spaceship and escapes, touching down in Hawaii, where he ends up in a dog pound. He's adopted by Lilo (Daveigh Chase), a spunky young girl, who renames her new pet Stitch.<BR>Stitch turns out to be quite a handful--his destructive impulses are on full display as he trashes Lilo's house, among other naughty acts. Lilo is being raised by her older sister Nani (Tia Carrere), since their parents died in an accident, and they are under surveillance by an evil social worker, Cobra Bubbles (Ving Rhames), who wants to take Lilo away from Nani. Lilo must tame Stitch, or his bad behavior could be held against Nani by Cobra. Meanwhile, Stitch is being pursued by his creator Jumba, who has followed him to Earth to try to recapture him. But Stitch becomes steadily more thoughtful and well-behaved as he grows to love Lilo and becomes a part of her family. The film's animation is done in the traditional 2-D style, complete with beautifully drawn watercolour backgrounds which give it a dreamy, colourful handcrafted appeal.
