Synopsis
Combining whimsical, unforgettable characters, an imaginative and offbeat story, and colorful artistry, Walt Disney Pictures' delightful new animated comedy LILO AND STITCH, tells a captivating tale of a young girl's close encounter with the galaxy's most wanted extraterrestrial.
Lilo is a lonely Hawaiian girl who adopts a small, ugly 'dog' whom she names 'Stitch'. Stitch would be the perfect pet if he weren't in reality a genetic experiment who has escaped from an alien planet and crash-landed on Earth.
Stitch, an alien, is the only creature of his kind in existence. He is the result of an illegal genetic experiment by the mad scientist Jumba who simply refers to him as 'Experiment 626'. Although Stitch appears to be harmless - small, furry, six legged - his very existence is an abomination to all that's decent in the galaxy. Jumba engineered Stitch as the ultimate fighting machine. He is abnormally strong, virtually indestructible, smarter than a supercomputer and very mischievous.
Through her love, faith and unwavering devotion to 'ohana' (the Hawaiian concept of family), Lilo helps unlock Stitch's heart and gives him the one thing he was never designed to have - the ability to care for someone else.
With its lush tropical setting, unique sense of humor and classic songs by Elvis Presley, LILO AND STITCH promises to capture imaginations everywhere.
