Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois direct Daveigh Chase, Tia Carrere and Ving Rhames in this animated comedy about an orphaned Hawaiian girl who befriends a fugitive alien who has been genetically engineered to be the ultimate destructive force.

First time revisiting this since the cinema release and it held up really well. Goes hard at the emotions but the comedy and the sci-fi aspects are strong too. Stitch is a wonderfully chaotic little creation. Nice use of Elvis and watercolour backgrounds. Feels like a true outlier in the post Walt Disney Renaissance wilderness doldrums.
