Stitch! The Movie Reviews

Less of a sequel movie and more clearly a pilot for the eventual series where we’d meet all 625 prior experiments to Stitch, Stitch! The Movie is… fine, I guess? As these direct-to-video franchise chum exercises go this one isn’t particularly egregious or noteworthy. The chaotic heart of Lilo & Stitch is smothered here in sitcom-y tropes and setups. No one is entirely out of character, but something is clearly “off” about the world. I suppose a vague blandness is better to the torpedoing these products, which is really all that are in its purest cynical form, have done to other beloved Disney franchises. How’s that for a ringing endorsement on the cover art?
