LoginIs Lilo and Stitch 2:Stitch Has a Glitch as good as the original? Not quite. The original film is funny and touching with wonderful animation and great writing and characters. But is it better than the series and Stitch the Movie? Yes I think so. While the series is decent despite some hit and miss moments, Stitch the Movie feels like an extended TV episode and a rather mediocre one at that.
Lilo and Sticth 2:Stitch Has a Glitch was much better than I expected, and one of the better sequels in my opinion. Though it is not without its flaws. As others have noted, it is too short, at just over an hour it could have done with being 10 minutes longer. The subplot about David and Nani's relationship problems could have also done with more development and while they were still entertaining, Jumbaa and Pleakley could have been used more.
However, the animation is just great, very fluid and colourful in the colours and backgrounds and the characters are well drawn. The soundtrack is also delightful, and made you want to sing along, the story is heart-warming and well-paced with good messaging and the script is both funny and touching. The characters are still likable, Lilo is well-meaning and sweet, Stitch is lovable as always and Nani's personality is less distorted than it is in the series. The voice acting I have nothing against either, and I feel Dakota Fanning is a worthy replacement as Lilo.
Overall, above average and surprisingly pleasant. Had it been longer, it would have been even better. 7/10 Bethany Cox
Above average sequel to a great film

68 minutes to basically give a “love conquers all, even death” message to charming characters in endearing ramshackle narrative that does nothing but dilute the brand. Welcome to more of these direct-to-video Disney exercises in making profit above all else. Don’t get me wrong, the film industry is a business above all and its commerce above art, with art being an only incidental by-product, but Disney can do better than this. Any emotive response is beamed in from your feelings about the characters from the first movie as everyone is noticeably off here, and there’s nothing generated from the narrative that builds towards an authentic emotional reaction. It’s just another run through the franchise with diminishing returns and characters/actions being entirely inappropriate for what has been previously established.
