Featurette from the bonus VCD that accompanied the Lilo & Stitch Soundtrack.
Enjoy =)

[@sashap9909]

Fun fact: Lilo in Hawaiian means lost and so lilo and stitch mean to be lost and then put back together

Wow that's deep and awsome

I'd be lying if I say this didn't bring tears to my eyes, the love and appreciation for my culture shown through this film. Mahalo nui loa

[@80sfreak14]

Davin C hey, em, you said your culture so I made out your from Hawaii. I'm moving to Hawaii in June and I don't know what to expect, how are the schools, are the people nice and how will the Hawaii kids react to a pale Irish kid, I'm so nervous but also excited.

move movies should be made like this: with respect and accuracy to the culture

[@jennifercortes3653]

Except Mulan..I grew up with the Mulan movie and the live action is just not empowering like the animated one.

I felt like crying while I watched this. why? the nostalgia. my childhood 😂 lilo and stitch

[@ash19964]

I first saw this movie when I was 5, and it's still one of my favorite Disney movies to this day ! ❤️ I've wanted to visit Hawaii and learn more about their culture ever since.

[@vallgonzall3084]

Yeah! I loved this movie when I was a child

[@morganl.kennedy3619]

My mom grew up in Hawaii until she was 9 years old, but my great great grandma came to Hawaii from Okinawa at the turn of the 1900s. She raised me like a Hawaiian. Nani was my Disney princess for a long time. She looked like me and my cousins. I still love the only Disney movies that show a way of life not many people get to see. Mahalo nui loa Disney!!❤

[@sandramorey2529]

I was fortunate enough to be part of Kumu Mark's halau when they came and made the film of our Wahine dancing" Kalakaua He Inoa". We got to see the early rushes. It was a very thrilling time formHula dancers and for Hawaiians. To this day keiki are dancing this traditional dance. Kumu actually wrote Hawaiian Roller Coaster too. Over the beginning credits is the traditional chant to Liliuokalani, the last queen. The man who plays the kumu is Kanewa Mook, one of the finest Kumu in Hawaii and consistently a winner of Merrie Monarch Festival. Oakland CA 2022

[@VieraXXII]

I just noticed the banner saying Merrie Monarch Festival! :'} Good job to the animators. I wish they would have done that for Tiana.

[@davidb5205]

What do you mean? What exactly did they do here that you wish they did?

[@ilovelegos2000]

Saw it twice in theaters when I was 4. Glad I grew up with this movie and not the Goddamn frozen fan base!

[@brycewakefield6565]

ilovelegos2000 yeah that’s a musical which I hate

[@kc_9970]

Blame it on Elsagate.

[@Zeldafan1ify]

Beautiful... I'm so grateful to have been a child when this movie was released.. I hope to visit Hawaii someday, i might cry when it happens haha

[@jessicarooo8832]

Done with such accuracy ! Why did Mulan 2020 go so wrong!

[@yunuenhagane3495]

They actually were very strict on the message they let the directors give on movies and this was an experimentation time for disney and after this movie they fired one or both of the directors because jon lassiter hated him and was angry the movie did so well

[@02mjan]

My God, Lilo and Stitch had to dive for Moana to swim 🤩 this will forever be one of the best Disney classics and it will withstand the test of time.

[@markymarklawler]

Fun Fact: Jason Scott Lee is from Los Angeles, CA however he was raised in Hawaii

[@yasmeens.h9846]

What a great culture. Thank you for sharing :)

[@theanxiouscatechist2504]

OMG, the banner says ''Merrie Monarch''! I just noticed it after so many years! I love this movie.

[@sophiaschannel1611]

2:26 Pleakely: Here, educate yourself

[@quincywho]

What truth they showed of the culture. My favorite movie growing up. And the Elvis parts were just phenomenally woven in. Ugh. Just the best.

[@euducationator]

such a great movie.

[@betsy658]

Check out the Vulture oral history of this movie. They went into so much depth about the making of this, including how Tia Carrere was the one who suggested Aloha ‘Oe be included.

[@iiAngelic]

Cried to the dancing and I'm not Hawaiian!

[@starmariejackson3747]

Thanks for uploading this.

[@monakeulen5622]

Jason scott lee was my childhood crush due to his amazing portrayal of Mowgli in the 1994 jungle book

[@CatGirlAlena]

Back when Disney was good and actually cared about the series they made.

[@Scottwilkie18]

What’s crazy is Jason Scott Lee played Bruce Lee and I thought he was Chinese

[@spicyenchilada808]

He's mixed hawaiian and chinese

[@JesusGirlz09]

Nice

[@mileycyrusfan197]

Man, I love this movie!! So glad I grew up with this. and does anyone know where @3:31 - 3:35 would be in the song? in another clip, the first half of it is mirrored.

[@mileycyrusfan197]

@@relix0228 yeah, I know the name of the song. I'm referring to the timestamp I just showed. I'm asking if you or anyone know where the dance moves go in the song.

Ah my bad for misunderstanding

[@mileycyrusfan197]

@@relix0228 lol that's okay. do you know where the dance moves in the time stamp goes in the movie? half of the dance during the beginning is not shown.

[@relix0228]

@@mileycyrusfan197 The dance move you've time stamped is sadly not shown in full view since the scene was focused on the kids waiting for their entrance along with lilo running to the studio as far as I know

I had no idea mogli was in this.

[@justthegirl9799]

Moana who?

[@jesse399]

They should make a live version of this movie.

[@gregstallion5873]

A know a lot of indigenous Hawaiian, Polynesian and other South Pacific Islander peoples feel disrespected by all of this, but I'm 100% Roma and adopted from Eastern Europe and I have to deal with Stromboli and Esmeralda. I'd take this over people thinking my characters are Black, Mexican or (Ashkenazi) Jewish. I'd rather have my culture embraced than deal with racist sterotypes and plots that fail to explain our actual Browness and the depth of our oppression.

[@EatDatBitchAwp]

All my family n friends absolutely loved the movie. Even my cousins who practice the culture way more than me love it. No local hawaiian or kanaka maoli I know said they think it’s disrespectful, they all loved it.

is that all you got out the movie sis? hawaii is not all happiness and rainbows
