Review of Stitch!

Stitch! (2008–2015)
2/10
Adaptation of the original series to the schizoid Japanese culture

With the original Lilo & Stitch (Movies, The Series) your children learn for life, here your children learn to be quiet in front of the TV.

"Stitch!" or "Yuna and Stitch" is essential an anime copy of the original Disney series "Lilo and Stitch: The Series". The story is set on the fictional Japanese island of Ryukus instead of Hawaii, the little native Hawaiian girl Lilo is replaced by the Japanese anime teenager brat Yuna.

In the first (revolutionary) movie "Lilo and Stitch" Stitch – an alien genetic experiment with superpowers but looks similar to a koala bear – came to earth and into the little family the orphan Lilo and her big sister Nani. Stitch overcame his destructive nature and learned what family ("ohana") means. Sine then Lilo – who is a clever, quirky, and extremely warm-hearted girl – spend all her time and power to show Stitch what family really means. In the original series Stitch's only wish was a family ("ohana"), in the anime his wish is now "world domination". Lilo's passion in the original series was Hula dancing, Yuna seems to be a Karate fighter. While the Hula dancing lead to tons of hilarious moments and fused Lilo and Stitch together in a peaceful manner, the Karate stuff is just boring. Stitch could not speak fluent English in the original series – one fact that made him extremely cute and lovable. This is gone now too. The primary antagonist Dr. Hämsterviel was hilarious in the Disney series, now he is just pathetic. Angel was a lovable character, now she is just a bitch. The movies and the original series impressed with beautiful hand-drawn watercolor backgrounds, now we have standard anime CGI.

Do yourself and your loved ones a favour and watch the original movies ("Lilo and Stitch", "Lilo and Stitch 2", "Stitch! The Movie" and "Leroy and Stitch") as well as the original Disney series ("Lilo and Stitch: The series")! They are clever, innovative, funny, extremely heart- warming and NOT classic Disney junk. Your children will learn for life and grow as a character.
