bruh tell me why just hearing stitch say “i’m lost” has me in actual tears

I can’t believe people had the audacity to say that Frozen was the first movie to show "Sisterly Love" when LILO AND STITCH LITERALLY EXIST

it's been almost two years and i know no one is gonna read this but if you look at the scene in Nani's room, she has a bunch of surfing trophies. It's theorized that she was going to become a professional surfer, but when their parents died she had to give it up to support Lilo. It's just a heart breaking background detail about Nani that i love.

Lilo probably consider Elvis a model citizen because that's her dad's favorite singer. If you look at the photo of her family, her dad's playing a guitar. Probably sang to lilo his favorite elvis songs. Why she's obsessed with elvis

Lilo's and Nani's parents died in a car crash during a bad storm. So Lilo's insistance on feeding a fish that controls weather takes on a whole new meaning

STITCH ALWAYS GETS ME WITH THE "This is my family, I found them. They're broken and little but good" IM SOBBING WOW OKAY

“This is my family, I found it all on my own, it’s little and broken, but still good...Yeah still good.” This gets me in the feels every time I hear it.

I'm always disappointed with how people literally refuse to appreciate this movie.

When Dylan cries, he waters himself. That's how he's grown so tall.

“WE have better technology than that!” this device is literally getting communication between galaxies..

Some things to note: Leis are a symbol of love in Hawaiian culture, so when Stitch is acting crazy and she puts a Lei on him, she is calming him with her love. Nani was only 19 years old. Her relationship with Lilo, and her struggle to keep the fragments of her family together, are what make the movie so heartbreaking. She gave up any future she had to keep her sister out of the system. Stitch's entire arc is the Ugly Duckling. Before the two pages, a swan egg hatches with a brood of ducklings accidentally. The swan grows up thinking it's a very ugly duckling, and that's why it looks different. The swan then gets lost and finds its true family. Stitch was born in chaos and evil. He finds his Swan family with Lilo and Nani, and he slowly realizes who he is and where he belongs.

Lilo and Stitch hit different as an adult because you understand the pain, lost, existential fear, and determination of Lani to keep her sister from going into the system while sacrificing her wants and needs and the trauma Lilo has from losing her parents. And Stitch wanting a family and becoming more sentient.

The running theory I've heard is that Lilo's parents died in a car crash due to a storm the one day Lilo didn't take Pudge the fish a sandwich. Lilo, being a kid, took that to mean Pudge controls the weather, and that it was her fault for the storm. This also explains why Myrtle's "you're crazy" comment caused such a dramatic reaction from Lilo - it wasn't just a mild insult, it was a direct insult to her for her method of coping with her parents' death.

Stitch crying out "lost" hits different when you realize Lilo and Stitch means lost and put back together

He's seen Mulan, Lilo and Stitch and Tangled. Those are my 3 favorite Disney movies and I'm happy he loves them all just like me.

for as little screen time as he gets, David (Nani's boyfriend in the end) stuck by Nani's side the entire time and helped her as much as she could with looking after Lilo and finding her a job. he doesn't even question helping her out when he finds out aliens have basically ruined her life, and they weren't even together at that point! also, its small, but him taking her complimenting his hair to heart rather than her thinking his butt is cute, is adorable

I can't decide if I'm more offended by him saying "there's no genetics in saliva" or that he then said "I'm not a botanist"

Lilo: "I remember everyone who leaves" Dylan: *(becomes so sad that he makes the whole room blue)*

Aside from the aliens, Lilo and Stitch is legitimately one of the most real stories to come out from Disney. A broken family, a little girl who feels like she doesn't belong or has anyone there for her, a big sister trying to single-handedly take care of the only family she has left, the stress of all that being added onto by social services,... One of my little sisters is so much like Lilo, and she has an emotional support guinea pig that she named Ohana because "Nobody gets left behind or forgotten." Everyone needs a Stitch in their life.

“Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.” This has to be one of the best and most beautiful quotes.

LILO:”I remember everyone that leaves...” Dylan: *aggressively cries in the corner*

Nani and Lilo's parents died in a car accident during a rain storm. That's why Lilo brings Pudge a PB sandwich every week. Pudge controls the weather. "Lilo" means "broken" in Hawaiian. And Lilo needed a Stitch 😭❤ I love this movie so much. It came out when my little sister was 3 and made her obsessed with Elvis Presley. And the way Nani and Lilo fight is totally how I fight with my sister. We are 13 years apart. When I'm upset about something or I'm missing home and my sister my husband will put on Lilo and Stitch.

it’s weird rewatching childhood movies as an adult bc i can UNDERSTAND what’s happening. that first scene meant nothing to me as a kid

Fun fact, in our Polynesian language, LILO means to give up or lost... it gives a more symbolic meaning to “stitch” and the meaning of the film as a whole

Lilo to stitch: you ruined everything Also lilo to the social worker: mY siStEr bEatS mE wiTh BricKs iN a PilLoW cAsE

Dylan: “there’s no dna in saliva!” “I mean I’m no botanist but...” Oh honey...

Lilo really is one of the best kid characters in movies. She feels so accurate. They’re rambunctious and obsessive and loud and weird and operate on their own logic.

Dylan: "This whole family is crazy." Also Dylan: "gEt tHe bRiCkS"

Dylan is just slowly morphing into a kid that only watches disney movies and loves it

"Pudge controls the weather" - because she doesn't want it to rain again. "I remember everyone that leaves" - that's why she loves taking pictures of tourists OHMYGOD THE CHARACTER CONSISTENCY!!!! I LOVEITSOMUCH!!!!

"This town just accepts that there's a dog dancing" Dude, by the end of the TV show there are exactly 626 of these things all over Hawaii.

“Go to Your Room!” “I’m Already in My Room!” Lilo is such an accurate depiction of a six year old!

Lilo: *starts to pounce on that one girl* Dylan: IS SHE BEATING ON THAT HOE?!?!?

"there's no dna in saliva." -Dylan, a botanist

Ive seen a lot of people bring up the thing about pudge controlling the weather and Lilo thinking she caused her parents death, but not as many people bring up another sad backstory that's a bit related. When stitch is leaving she says she remembers everyone who leaves while looking at tge picture of her parents, and she is always taking pictures of the tourists. She takes pictures to remember people because everyone she meets is always leaving because theyre tourists and eventually their vacation ends, so she constantly being abandoned by people. She wants to keep the memories of everyone because even her parents left, and she only has 1 picture to remember them by, which is why shes so protective of the picture when Stitch grabs it, and she doesnt want to only have 1 picture to remember someone by again, so takes pictures of everyone. I also think thats why she is trying so hard to be friends with the mean little girls, because theyre the only ones that live there and wont leave. In an episode of the T.V. show theres a new little girl that shows up and tries to be friends with Lilo, but Lilo says she cant because she'll leave soon. Luckily the little girl moved there so they do become friends, but it just adds another level of sadness to this movie, and backstory.

I love how Dylan pointed out that it was very, unsettling when Jacob imprinted on Bella's kid

“I’ll remember you though, I remember everyone that leaves” got me in literal tears

The reason why feeding Pudge is so important to her is because he control the weather, and part of the reason her parents died was bad weather.

"She's beating a ho up!!" This made me cry laugh so hard. For about 5 minutes. Thank you Dylan. Been a while since I laughed so hard.

Dylan's face when Lilo had the spoon voodoo dolls and she really said "My friends need to be punished" was amazing 😂😂😂

When Lilo beat that girl up, I had never felt more attached to a Disney character. She was my idol

I remember reading a critic's review of this movie when Lilo & Stitch came out in theaters and they complained about how annoying Lilo was... I watched it anyway and concluded that the critic critiquing the kid's movie probably never met a kid who suffered from something traumatic. This movie is so realistic to the psychological aspects of being orphaned (Lilo) and being abandoned/runaway from an abusive homelike (Stitch). It is a brilliant movie.

"There's no genetic mutation in saliva" *AncestryDNA and 23andME has left the chat*

“I remember everyone who leaves.” This movie legit hits me in all of the feels simultaneously

*She gives Pudge the sandwiches because he controls the weather and Lilo’s parents died when it was rainy* 😭

Every time Dylan gets all logical I’m just like bruh it’s a cartoon

As a daycare teacher, I can personally tell you, the counting of the kids is a real thing XD

“You imprinted on my daughter?!?” I howled with laughter

Dylan: “Lilo is truly the best Disney character” Flynn: *do i mean nothing to you?*

“I mean I’m no botanist, but I don’t think that’s how saliva works” One there is dna in saliva, and two Botanists are plant experts

"that's a tall ass shark" that line made my day

I never realized this movie is so emotional until I grew up 😭

Plot twist Mr. Bubbles is part of the Men in Black and that's how he knows about the alien society...

"Pudge controls the weather." "It was rainy...and they went for a drive..." Ouch, Disney. That hurts.

Dylan: "There's no genetic signature in saliva, is there? I'm no botanist but I don't think that's how saliva works!" Forensic Sciences: *"Am I a joke to you!?"*

Stitch’s “this is my family” speech gets me every. single. time.

Ok anyone else got proud and excited to see Dylan “almost” cry?

*clearly broken roof is about to fall* Dylan: it’s gonna fall *roof falls* Dylan: i’M a PrOfEsSiOnAl MoViE wAtChEr

"I'm no botanist but I don't think that's how saliva works" - Best line I've heard all year

Nani had surfer trophies in her room among others and dropped everything to care for lilo. And this movie had realistic body portions and body type it's amazing not to mention the thing she has with David I love this movie

Lilo: “Did you lose your job because of stitch and me?” Dylan “ *yes* ” Nani: “nah” Dylan: “ *_yes_* ”

Dylan: *predicts one thing that happens in the movie* Dylan: “IM A PROFESSIONAL MOVIE WATCHER!”

25:57 Dylan: What the f- Stitch: Fluffy!

This movie was like one of the first female power movies! Nani is such a bad bitch, she's trying to balance a job and taking care of her little sister. The movie does SUCH A GOOD JOB on covering trauma and hardships, and you really see this through how nani and lilo interact with each other. Also CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW DAVID IS SUCH A GOOD GUY :( He legit is there for nani and takes her rejections well, because he knows how much she's struggling.

“It’s a Disney movie it’s gotta end well” you watch Pocahontas my friend

Dylan is so pale I didn’t even realize he was fading to a black and white filter at 21:15

Fun fact: Disney + changed the 10:43 dryer for a cabinet because they thought that kids will mimic the action of getting into dryers and that it would be dangerous

“I’m no botanist but I don’t think that’s how saliva works” Classic

“I’m no botanist but I don’t think that’s how saliva works” I was crying

now im just waiting for him to start doing Barbie movies

nobody is gonna talk about the fact that stitch it’s a metaphor to stitching the family together, and that lilo name him that way because she had a BROKEN family? okay

me, 21 years old hears "it's okay, i remember everyone who leaves" one line just made me a mess. i never fully acknowledge that line when i was younger.

Even though Shrek isn't Disney it still deserves a movie commentary

“This might just be the best Disney movie ever” Flynn is offended...

Lilo- “I remember everyone that leaves.” Me- 0 to bawling my eyes out in .1 second

Stitch: *spits* Dylan: "I'M nO BotAnIst."

For the love of God Disney, NEVER live action this film!

“there’s no genetic signature in saliva” * 23 and me entire business is QUAKING

When I was younger I rewatched this movie constantly, back to back. I watched it so much I knew basically all the lines and used 'props' to act out the scenes alongside the movie

As a kid who grew up in Hawaii, this was my absolute *favorite* Disney movie. I think I had just about every Stitch stuffed animal and I actually started Hula because of Lilo

if imma be honest, if Stitch was going to be mistaken for something it would be a koala... AM I CRAZY

23:02 “you can just date me and we’ll call it even” Dang that was so slick even I didn’t hear that as a kid

The song Nani sings to Lilo is called Aloha Oe and it’s a song the last Queen of Hawaii wrote and sang to her people when the US was annexing her country. It was her final farewell and it fits in this movie because the US government is taking away Lilo and Nani’s family like Hawaii was taken from its Queen and people

I legit forget how amazing this movie is until every time I re-watch Dylan watching this movie, because of how much he loves it, it reminds me of how much I love it

“OHHH MY GAWD SHES BEATING THE HOE UP! YOOO SHE CRAZY CRAZY” HAD ME ON THE FLOOR

I love how this went from Lilo and Stitch to Elvis Presley's dark past and Iowa facts.

“Aliens are attacking my house! It’s okay my dog found the chainsaw!” I love this!

Stitch saying "I'm lost" breaks my heart into a million pieces every time.

Dyan: There's no genetic material in saliva. *23andMe has left the chat*

18:50 There are packs of wolves in populated areas of Russia that deliberately send their cute pups into towns to beg for food. It goes against all instinct, but they know humans feed cute, non-threatening animals, so the rest of the pack stays back while the pups (and smaller, grown wolves) gather food scraps for the whole pack. The big, scary wolves hunt when they can, of course, but they do what they have to. Yes, animals know exactly what they’re doing.

25:53 that frog is the best character in the movie 👏😌

The lilo and stitch series was so great as well. You got fun adventures and more development and friendship between them.

you skipped my favorite line lilo: did you lose you’re job because of stitch and me? nani: Nah. the manager’s a vampire. he wanted me to join his legion of the undead. lilo: *whispers* i knew it

"I'm no botanist but thats not how saliva works" uh you okay there dylan think you meant biologist

I just did an 8 hour assignment on this movie and the tv series after it... I was soooo tired of it but I saw you did a reaction to it and I had to watch. Thank you for making it enjoyable again

I love how in almost every video Dylan does, he somehow involves twilight-

lilo: "Beats another girl up" Dylan: Isn't Lilo the best?

Dylan: the Disney classics *name's two movies that aren't Disney*

i read that because of financial struggles and producers focusing more on ambitious projects, the animators had to make do and left to their own devices with this film that's why they went with the watercolor background and storyboard style animation which I really like bc it adds to the story and magic

“What if Bubbles ends up dating the sister because he has to watch over them?” I sense a fan-fic.
