I watched Lilo and Stitch at the library of KGU with Haruka. We saw this movie in English with English subtitle. I had known and liked Stitch but I’ve never watched this movie. This movie is animation of Disney.
Main characters of this movie are Stitch and Lolo. Stitch is called trial product no.626 because he is alien made by Dr. Jumba Jookiba. Stitch is so violence and dangerous so he is run out of his planet and he reaches the earth. Lolo is 5-year-old girl. She likes dancing hula and her and her friends’ relationship isn’t good. She lives with her old sister, Nani, in Hawaii and she doesn’t live with her parents. Therefore she feels lonely. She looks for comfortable in her life.
Lilo and Nani often have a quarrel and Nani thinks to give a dog for Lilo. Lilo feels happy and Lilo and Nani went to one place for getting a dog. Then Lilo meets Stitch. Then Agent Pleakley and Cobra Bubbles, which are from Stitch’s planet, are aiming at Stitch so Stitch feels dangerous and he transforms into a dog. When Lilo meets Stitch, she likes him and she decides to buy him.
Life of Lilo with Stitch starts and Lilo is so happy; however, Nani is often troubled with Stitch because he is violence and often destroys many things. One day, Lilo and Stitch come to the restaurant which is Nani’s work place. There are also Agent Pleakley and Cobra Bubbles and they aim Stitch. When they try to catch Stitch, Stitch stands them. Nani’s boss sees this situation and he fires Nani from this job. Lilo and Stitch are depressed and then Nani hard to find new job.
Nani try to find new job very hard but she doesn’t succeed and she is tired about Stitch a little; however, Stitch tends to get various feelings. Lilo teaches meaning of Ohana is family. Stitch understands this word and he knows the story of Ugly Duckling and he wants to meet his family. He believes if he waiting his family, he can meet them.
Lilo thinks Stitch doesn’t want to stay with Lilo and Nani so she says Stitch can go out her house. Stitch goes out with the book of Ugly Duckling and he waits his family. He believes his family comes to him and then he sees a figure; however, it is Captain Gantu, who is from Stich’s planet. Captain Gantu tries to shoot Stitch and he tells Stitch doesn’t have his family because Stitch is made by one scientist. Stitch is shocked and he goes to Lilo’s house.
On the other hand, Lilo stays at her house alone because Nani finds new job trough her boyfriend and she goes out her house. Lilo is surprised that Stitch comes to her house and Captain Gantu also comes to her house. Stitch and Captain Gantu fight and Lilo’s house is burnt. Lilo is helped and Nani comes to her house. Nani is so surprised and so shocked. Lilo goes to forest and she meets Stitch. Lilo says everything isn’t good because of Stitch. He is shocked and then Stitch and Lilo are caught by Captain Gantu; however, Stitch can escape from Captain Gantu.
However, Stitch is caught again by Agent Pleakley and Cobra Bubbles; however, Nani knows Lilo is taken away and she is very shocked and she blames Stitch. Stitch says Ohana is family and he encourages Nani. Cobra Bubbles is moved by Stitch’s words and they decide to help Lilo.
They try to help Lilo very hard. They succeed to help Lilo; however, Stitch is caught by Grand Councilwoman of the United Galactic Federation, who is top of Stitch’s planet. Stitch follows her and he asks her to tell Lilo and Nani good-by. Grand Councilwoman of the United Galactic Federation is surprised because Stitch changed and he is not violent but polite.

I think Lilo and Stitch is very good movie. Before watching this movie, I hadn’t known this story well so I thought it is fantastic and honestly it doesn’t have deep story; however, I was moved by this movie. It has very important thing and it told me importance of family. Stitch first didn’t have his family and he was very sad but he got his family and he knew importance of his family. I like the scene which Stitch watch the book of Ugly Duckling. I want many people, especially children, to watch Lilo and Stitch.
