“The first u0026quot;Lilo and Stitchu0026quot; was a warm and entertaining animated feature, compensated fully by beautiful animation, a nice soundtrack and a superb script that was not only funny but taught morals without feeling slushy. u0026quot;Stitch! The Movieu0026quot; was merely okay, but it doesnu0026#39;t have the magic or the sense of fun the first film had. I will give some credit the voice work is very good, Daveigh Chase is very sweet as Lilo and David Ogden Stiers just as he did in the original was marvellous as Jumbaa. Hamsterviel is a good villain, sweet on the outside but quite dangerous really. I liked it that Gantu had more to do here, and there are some decent laughs mostly from Experiment 625. However, the film is too short, at merely an hour there isnu0026#39;t much character development consequently the characters and the relationships between them (Lilo and Stitchu0026#39;s especially) werenu0026#39;t as engaging or as poignant. In both this and the TV series Naniu0026#39;s personality seems somewhat distorted. Also the animation isnu0026#39;t as vibrant, colourful or as detailed as it was in the original, not helped by rushed editing, and the script felt rather shallow. By all means, this movie isnu0026#39;t bad, but it pales in comparison to the original. 5/10 for trying. Bethany Cox”
