Review
A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Emma Simmonds
Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On), this remake of the much-loved 2002 Disney animation is a near-seamless mash-up of live-action and state-of-the-art computer animation. Adorable newcomer Maia Kealoha plays Lilo, a wilful and friendless Hawaiian orphan being raised on the island by her older sister Nani (Sydney Agudong). The siblings' already precarious situation is jeopardised when Lilo brings home extraterrestrial escapee Stitch from a rescue centre. Originally known as Experiment 626, Stitch is on the run from the Galactic Council, presided over by the Grand Councilwoman (voiced by Hannah Waddingham). In pursuit are his creator Dr Jumba Jookiba (Zach Galifianakis) and the Galactic Federation's Earth expert, Agent Pleakley (Billy Magnussen). The film has been made with great care and love for Hawaiian culture, with the story fleshed out nicely. Kealoha is a perfect match for her cartoon counterpart, with Agudong excellent as her struggling sibling, while Magnussen provides standout voice work as his slapstick-prone alien character. Lilo & Stitch rather hammers home the "family matters" message, but overall this is expertly executed, cross-generational fun that combines the look of a lavish Disney production with oodles of oddball charm.
