I am not sure if this was an easter egg put in by the production team or a fan theory but regardless, the movie has an interesting connection to Men in Black. During the scene with Jumba Jookiba chasing Lilo and Stitch around the house, he mentions that he loves the Elvis song that is playing. Jumba has never been to Earth, so how would he have heard it before? Well, in the first Men in Black, K mentions that Elvis didn't actually die, he just went home, implying that he was an alien, which would explain why Jumba knows the song.

Lilo feeding Pudge the fish a sandwich cause he controls the weather and the one time she didn’t feed him was when her parents car went off the road in the rain is something you don’t pick up on the first time but always hits hard on each subsequent viewing.

Lilo and Nani's relationship is extremely underrated, and much more interesting and emotional than Anna and Elsa's from Frozen IMO. Nani gives up her future (in her room she has a lot of surfing trophies), in order to take care of Lilo after their parents died in the tragic accident and the way she tries to work hard to take care of her and not get taken from her is because they are all they have left.

fun fact: the song nani sings to lilo on the hammock was written by queen lili'uokalani (the last hawaiian monarch). queen lili'uokalani wrote this song as an apology and a farewell to her people when she had to forcefully sign away hawai'i to the united states. i really wish hawaiian history was taught in schools just so people can be more educated on how hawai'i became the 50th state.

Lilo & Stitch is one of those movies I think I'd call as close to perfect as can be. It is still insanely good and absolutely hilarious. Also, Stitch is the best, no doubt.

The fact you let this movie be the first movie your child ever set eyes on is so adorable. I love it.

"It's little…and broken. But still good. Yeah. Still good." Gets me every time 😭😭

Great choice guys! Consider “Emperors New Groove” next. The comedy still hits! 😂

Years ago, I was a foster parent to a child of Hawaiian decent. She loved this movie, as so did I. We bonded over this movie. Miss you hope. Fyi, her aunt petitioned to adopt her. I cherish my time with her. ❤

"i found it all by myself" and "it's broken, but still good" makes me tear up everytime 😭😭

The fact that lilo and nani lost their parents during a rainstorm and lilo then feeds pudge the fish sandwhiches because she believes he controls the weather 🥺🥺

It’s cool seeing Jen get into the cartoon stuff more and more.

"Youre not allowed to watch screens" Your baby: "And I took that personally"

I love the speech that Stitch makes to the Grand Councilwoman. "This is my family. I found it all....on....my own. It's little and broken, but still good. Yeah, still good." 😭😭

How cute, your baby is more curious of the movie rather than sucking on the bottle!☺

the Director who did Lilo and Stitch (also the voice of Stitch) directed How to Train your Dragon, and Toothless has some similar qualities to Stitch

Their parents dying is why Lilo gives the peanut butter sandwich to the fish Pudge. She thinks it controls the weater so she doesnt want what happened to her happen to other families

Hero is the freaking CUTEST little spoof I've ever seen!!!!! He's so adorable I almost can't handle it!❤

I believe this was originally slated for a Holiday 2001 release, but 9/11 happened, which forced Disney to rewrite and reanimate the ending. In the original ending, Jumba, Pleakley, and Nani steal a jumbo jet, which Jumba nearly crashes onto a high rise...

Fun fact, Lilo is obsessed with Pudge the fish because she thinks he controls the weather and her parents died in a car crash because of the bad weather, so she feed him to keep the weather good. 😢

have not LOLed as hard in a while at "I picked out Boston" "and you say you regret it everyday" gold. Other than Bambi, Disney's best film imo An absolute masterpiece

this was my favorite movie growing up because I identified heavily with Lilo as the "weird kid" with family issues 😅 she has a lot of traits associated with autism that I was bullied for a lot, I love how she responds with voodoo curses lmao

18:00 that baby break was so sweet😚 clearly an Elvis fan and definitely enjoyed the movie

Cobra Bubbles is designed directly after Vingh Rhames’ role as Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction

If I'm not mistaken, Daveigh Chase, Lilo's voice actress, does the English dub for Chihiro in Spirited Away, which is another all-time classic in animation.

Dude, ‘Lilo & Stitch’ is one of those lightning-in-a-bottle movies. It just worked. It’s so good, and fun, and Stitch is the greatest 😂

Lilo and stitch, Hercules, and Mulan were definitely my favorites as a child

I like it when you BOTH watch a movie for the 1st time, then the reactions feel more genuine.

Lilo & Stitch is an accomplishment in Disney’s library. I love the authenticity of Lilo and Nani’s relationship, and the real struggle of Nani trying to provide a stable home life. Also, Agent Bubbles is such a cool side character. I love that he has a background in alien government stuff but he clearly has a passion for protecting kids.

Sandwich day is so special and important to lilo. Her parents died in a rainstorm so she gives pudge(who she believes controls the weather) a sandwich to appease him so that no one else she cares about dies due to bad weather

One of my absolute favorites, and I even followed the entire TV series (same voice actors) 9.5/10 indeed

beautiful movie, i cry every single time i see it. it was criminally underappreciated on release and for years afterwards. thankfully, people have really started celebrating it more the last 10 years or so

The 3 of them watching Lilo and Stitch is too wholesome 😭

Man, Stitch has universal appeal. He's both adorable and badass.

The scene where Stitch and Jumba have their fight was originally a lot more violent and parents complained at a test screening so new shots were done while certain moments were altered to make it more comedic than violent such as the swiss army knife of weapons became a "swiss army knife" including a mini tube of tooth paste and instead of Jumba blasting the ceiling with plasma blasts it was altered to throw plates. A big change was the ending where now is the Hot Potato game of Jumba's overloaded blaster, originally Stitch was to rip the stove off and because it is a gas stove, when Jumba fired, the gas lit by the plasma blast caused the explosion.

This was one of the first movies I showed my kids as soon as they could somewhat comprehend sentences 😂 love this movie so much

I opened up KZfaq, saw this, and literally gasped! My all time favorite Disney movie and I'm thrilled to see you guys watch it!!! ❤❤❤

Aloha Oe scene is my favorite scene of the movie, specially after learning the history of the song Apparently it was a farewell song written by the last queen of hawaii before being annexed by the US which is an amazing symbolic parallel to the story, their family being ripped apart by the US goverment

11:47 I noticed they had replaced the dryer machine into a cupboard with a pizza box on Disney +. Also, I still have the DVD with hiding dryer machine.

This is my FAVORITE Disney movie hands down. It's just so unique, funny, and wholesome.

There are 3 sequels, actually lilo and stitch 2, Stitch the movie ( which lead into the tv show) , and Leroy and stitch. I would love to see you and jen watch the sequels eventually! Love the channel!!

Big Hero 6 is another one I recommend watching

Hero is SO precious 🥹🥹

Lilo & Stitch is one of my top favorites from Disney. It is a fantastic movie. Glad you all enjoyed it!

While it would seem random and weird with Lilo appaise to Pudge the Fish by giving him a sandwich on every thursday, it actually makes sense that she does this as her parents died in a car crash on a rainy night and she doesn't want to lose Nani to a similiar fate.

The reason lili gives the fish(weather control)a sandwich is because her parents died on a rainy night. She doesn't want other people to get hurt.

Fun Fact: Ving Rhames character Cobra Bubbles is based off on his other character Marsellus Wallace from Pulp Fiction

One of those times where you see Disney having collected some amazing talent and them getting to run loose to great effect. One thing I really like about the art style is this bottom-heavy thickness in all the character designs. Its an attempt to imply the perspective of a little girl looking up at world taller than them. Its not the only aspect of the flick that has a unique spin from Disney's general style at the time. They were able to pull this off because the team worked out of MGM in Florida - heavily dependent on their own small team of hungry, young talent and largely out of sight and away from the temptations of meddling from the larger home office.

Lol Aw Jen got really emotional because Stitch is a “dog”

This was the first DVD I ever bought. This is a special one to me

don't let this heart warming movie distract you from lilo's question to Mr. Bubbles who never answered btw.

Fun fact: The model city that Stitch builds in Lilo's room shows off Stitch's impressive memory. He wouldn't have had knowledge of Earth cities before his crash landing. And yet, he is able to build a replica of a very specific Earth city: San Francisco. But why? And how did he know about San Francisco? Because when he was going through town with Lilo earlier that day, he was flipping through postcards. One of the postcards he was looking at was for San Francisco. Stitch created a model replica of an Earth city based entirely on a postcard that he only saw in passing.

The same people who made this made How to Train Your Dragon. You should react to it if you haven't already seen it.

This is likely one of the first film to alter its film due to the events of 9/11. The original climax was Stitch and Co. stealing a passenger jet plane to save Lilo and the two ships were flying through a city (which was likely based off the climax of CON AIR). However, the scenes had just finished being animated and then, the terrorist attacks on September 11th happened, so the filmmakers literally re-designed the plane into a spaceship (which is literally coordinated "Red, White and Blue") and the city was CGI-ed into a mountain range. Nearly a decade later, the original scene was released on DVD (and can largely be found on KZfaq)

My old friend Dennis Kamakahi wrote and sings the song "Always" when stitch dies... The song is an ancient Hawaiian song that a lady sang when her lover fell into a volcano in hawaii. The man came back to life from the power of her song and love for him

Stitch even got his own anime.

Stitch is my absolute favorite disney character. I own almost all the stitch funko pops

Fun trivia fact for this movie: The final two planes sequence was originally planned to have them fly around in the middle of a city on the island rather than through the mountains, but then 9/11 happened during the final production cycle(s) and so the directors decided it would be best to change it so as to not invoke the image of two plains flying around a couple of tall buildings.

I love that y'all's baby made a cameo in this video, he is so adorable 🥰

also your little one is literally holden mini, so adorable haha.

Lilo and stitch both bit someone. And both bitten people said “does this look infected to you?”. Showing the similarities between lilo and stitch. Watched this movie plenty of sometimes but first time noticing

20:05 Yeah, Stitch is more like Muffin. “Coconuts have water in them!”

Another fun fact: This is the 1st Disney movie to use all watercolor background since Dumbo in 1941. I appreciated that. It was a nice touch.

Lilo's older sister Nani is the real hero of the show. She's a great role model.

hero is so cute oml. when he did that head tilt at 22:32 made my day

Seeing how much you loved the music and Jen loving the characters and movies so much, I just knew she was gonna say its a movie she has to see again with your son when hes older.

Nani and Lilo’s relationship always makes me so emotional. Nani is only around 18/19 so is barely an adult but had to give up her future to look after her baby sister after their parents passed. They’re both grieving but Lilo is of course acting out making it even harder on Nani. They love each other but Lilo is only a kid and is traumatised from losing her parents which makes it harder for Nani. Now they have the threat of being separated from one another after already losing their parents. I’m 21 and have 2 sisters age 5 and 6. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to raise them (and I definitely would) if my mother ever passed away.

I remember unwrapping this movie as a Christmas present when I was very young one of my favorites of all time so glad you guys enjoyed it!

My dood Hero hooked on Lilo & Stitch 😂😂

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this. The imactic spaceship chase was originally very different. It involved Stitch and group stealing a 747 from Honolulu airport to chase after Lilo. They chased through downtown, hitting several buildings. Then 9/11 happened about 5 months before the release. And they had to emergency reanimate the whole sequence to be in mountain valleys. They kept almost all of the motion and camera angles, just swapped backgrounds, animated over the 747. Ice cream dude was in a crosswalk originally. Just put him in the valley bottom. There is video of the original storyboard animatics for the sequence on youtube. It's pretty cool to see, but honestly the way it worked out is actually much better. It feels cleaner and less busy.

I just realised Mertal and the giant shark alien (Captain Gantu) both said "Does this look infected to you?" which shows how Lilo and Stitch were both outcasts

Yeah precious baby angel Hero was getting my full attention every cameo ❤i had to rewind a lot because I definitely missed anything else happening 😂😂❤

Votes on when they say "aw, just like our dog" about Stitch....when he stands on his head and moons the audience, when he swears, or when he finds the chainsaw

I remember watching this movie when I was 4. It warms my heart to see Hero enjoy watching it too.

This movie is all Jacob Elordi knew about Elvis before signing on to play him in Priscilla and he still blew Austin Butler out of the water 😂

Lilo is by far one of the most realistic kid characters in Disney period which is why she's the best kid character, and add stich in the mix and they make the perfect little werid duo

stitch’s great escape, maybe the most infamous MK attraction of all time. I miss it

Loved this movie as a kid, haven’t watched it in a long time but looks like it still holds up. You should show Jen those trailers/commercials for the movies where Stitch invaded other Disney films.

Hero is such an adorable baby OMGGGGG

Also Stitch is voiced by one of the Director’s of the Movie Chris Sanders

I’m sure it’s been commented but there are a couple of other changes in addition to Lilo hiding in the dryer, when Jumba is fighting stitch in the house he throws a weapon that almost hits Pleakley with toothpaste but the original shows it was an actual weapon with a sharp knife. And the big change: following 9/11 the red ship they fly in the end was originally a 757 plane that flew in between buildings. They changed it to an alien ship and mountains

The chase between Stich and Jumba against Gantu were heavily altered because originally, the chase between the two space ships originally was going to be Gantu's ship vs a comendeered Boeng 747 (the cut scene showed how Stitch got aboard the jet right before take-off and scaring the staff and passangers off the plane so he, Jumba, Pleakly and Nani could commendeer it to chase after Gantu) and it happened in Kanui's capitol and the unlucky tourist who gets his ice cream knocked out of his cone was crossing the street when the edge of the jet's place knocked out his ice cream. Then 9/11 happened and Disney couldn't just have the scene be like this as it would be disrespectful to the victims of the 9/11, as the jet crashed into World Trade Center was hijacked and it happened in the city. So a new shot were added to show where Jumba had parked his space ship. The Boeng 747 were altered to make it look like a space ship and while most the animation was kept the same, the backgrounds where changed to take place on the mountains of the island, rather than the city, plus the ice cream guy were lying on a beach chair next to a river in the jungle.

This movie manages to be absolutely adorable and heartwarming while also being heartcrushing. Lilo is so adorable but so lost and confused. Noni is trying her best but being a parent suddenly when you're just a sister has to be confusing and so hard. Both still grieving. Stitch doesn't know who he is or where he is from but he wants more having seen a family. Lilo talking to him about how he cries at night kills me every time. It's a maturity level a child should not have but she has been through a deep trauma and understands. It's a beautiful movie with fun characters and a great story. AMAZING music.

I love this movie so much. My favorite along side Iron giant. So much emotion throughout the whole movie and the significance of the name Lilo and Stitch is great. Also the idea that she feeds a fish that controls the weather then explains parents death really hits hard

Not me unintentionally being prepared for this video by wearing my Stitch Disneyland Spirit Jersey and the Stitch lounge pants I got at Walmart last night! It’s what I slept in last night and haven’t changed yet, but it’s perfect!

I love the advertisements for stitch where he is in other Disney movies causing chaos. Like the one where he is messing with beauty and the beast.

The end fight in the house was originally a lot more violent and it was clear Jumba was trying to kill Stitch. I guess they reanimated it for the same reason as the plane redo so that the film would be a bit more lighter in the aftermath of 9/11. Its also why Jumbas proportions (specially his eyes) change so much during the movie as his scenes were reanimationed

Oh mama ♥ the way your little fella looks up at you and watches you talk 😍 😭 too cute!

This movie really is a certified classic. 😌

13:33 Holden: “I don’t say it *every* day.” 😂

Holden and Jen, bless you guys and your family.👍👌

Thank you for going back to your regular editing style!!!! Big relief.

This was by far disney's best story of sibling love ever. Nani was only 19 when their parents died, and she was training to be a pro Surfer(you can tell by all the trophies in her room) but she gave it all up to get a job to support lilo so that lilo could stay with her family

This movie has been my comfort movie for years now

I love stitch and all the aliens when i was a kid. Its almost like a pre ben 10 ben10. And the older sister ooooooof. Whata beauty

My daughter is in love with Stitch. We were at Magic Kingdom a few days ago, and she wore a Stitch costume for when she saw him. He was excited to see a mini version of himself.

As a Polynesian kid…lilo and stitch was definitely dope to see

I just love both of you so much as a channel. Here's to 300k soon! 🍹

Second favorite Disney animated movie. Beauty and the beast being number one. Awesome selection. Love Lilo being a real little girl and also just loving Elvis. Also vote again on maybe reacting to some of those crazy Elvis movies lol
