As a kid, you don’t relate with Nani and find her annoying. As an adult, I’m rooting for Nani all the way! She’s a teen who not only lost her family but also has to take responsibility of her little sister. If you look closely into her room, there are surfing trophies and medals. It shows that maybe she planned to become a pro surfer before her families death. Shes had to take care of so much! She even put away her relationship and life to raise Lilo. I’ll always be heated how people praised Anna and Elsa to be the perfect sister duo of Disney. Nope. Lilo and Nani take the Cake ***So when I say i found Nani annoying I was watching it from a child’s perspective like around 8 or 9. And I just wanted to see lilo and stitches adventure! Long story short, as kids we don’t really see Nani as anything but a side character but growing up we end up seeing things differently! Also thanks for the likes ❤️***

[@thatweirdgirlinthecorner3073]

It's funny cause when I was a child I always thought Nani was old then I realize she's what like 19? 😂

[@kunilsen2519]

Nani was not annoying for me, but definitely more irrelevant. Not truly realizing what and how much she is dealing with and sacrificing. It was much easier to understand Lilo and Stitch as a kid. But as an adult, you can see Nani is just another kid trying her best to raise her sister. So many hardships they are both dealing with.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

I also like that the movie manages to capture the nature of the sisters as well with how they get mad at each other, make up, how Nani takes care of Lilo much like their parents did etc, etc.

[@petrastedman669]

It also feels incredibly real. She's her sister, not her mother. She's maybe late teens or early 20s, and has to deal with a lot of responsibility and is doing her honest best and trying to manage the consequences when she gets something wrong she wasn't prepared for. Not to mention Lilo is one of the best written child characters I've ever seen in a movie, period.

[@sweeney60]

@@petrastedman669 also let’s not forget that Nani and Lilo are sisters meaning they both lost their parents but Nani is not being given her time to grieve cause she’s had to step into the role of parent. How Nani has managed to keep it together as well as she has is nothing short of a miracle.

[@ma-ri-ko]

so, one of the dimensions of this movie that a lot of non-native folks may not pick up on is how disproportionately children are removed from indigenous homes. this is a global problem, but especially in north america, child protective services has very little grace with intermediate steps between identifying a problem environment and removing the kid from the family entirely. i have white friends who were required to go to parenting classes, get counseling, get job counseling, etc over the course of years and never had their children removed from their custody or had their kids placed with immediate family like grandparents while the parent got their shit together. conversely, i have an indigenous friend who had cps try to take his daughter away because they lived in a cabin off the grid and cps said that not having running water was unsanitary, i've seen infants taken away from their parents immediately after birth on the grounds of bogus drug test results, and i know a lot of 60+ year olds that were taken away from their families for residential schooling or because they weren't christian. so nani is reaffirming her and lilo's shared heritage before lilo is taken away by an agent of a colonizing govt, something that has been happening for generations.

[@ambriaashley3383]

Yeah it's so important to realize the racial and cultural bias that is inherent in our social services system. So many children (disproportionately POC children) have put into the system, into residential school, or Catholic services only to receive more abuse. I'm passionate about social work & really want to change the system from the inside.

[@tiyabear]

I actually don’t think Lilo needed to be taken away from Nani. Unforeseen circumstances (aliens) aside she was doing her best and needed support. Like therapy, reliable childcare and more time to adjust, not CPS breathing down her neck. Plus, yeah they had their problems but I think the foster system would’ve been really damaging for Lilo. Generally it’s not great for anyone, but it would’ve been especially not great for a kid like Lilo. Even teenage parents get nine months to prepare. Nani lost her parents, probably had little time to process it, and then was tasked with taking care of a grief stricken younger sibling but was expected to handle things perfectly all the time or lose the only family she had left. I didn’t get this watching this in 2nd grade, but for a 19 year old she’s doing better than expected. She cares enough to be a good guardian, she’s just dealing with the parental equivalent of being thrown in the deep end and told to swim.

[@catdragon2584]

Agreed. And I like that the movie ends with their family growing bigger, because that’s what we should be doing. When a family’s struggling, the key is to add to their support system rather than divide the family.

@@catdragon2584 yeah an when you get into the series you see it was exactly what she needed. Jumba and Pleakley end up being additional almost parental figures. It takes a village to raise a child as they say

[@LunatheLoungeSinger]

Well in reality (I know for NYC) she would have had an open investigation for 30 to 90 days if someone reported the family to CPS/DCFS and when a determination has been made if she was abusive/maltreated Lilo or the claims would be unsubstantiated. If the determination was substantiated Nani would be asked if she would like preventive services if she said no CPS would prob have a FTM (family team meeting) or a CSC (child safety conference) meeting to see if court intervention is needed. The family Court Judge would request for the Nani to comply with court ordered supervision for 6 months to a year with a CPS worker monitoring the family and local preventative services are put in as extra help and an extra set of eyes in the home. Removal is the last thing CPS/DCFS wants to do and most of the time when it takes place it is at the decision of a Family Court Judge as they have to write the order unless it's like an emergency untimely death/murder (it seems thier parents passed some time ago and no one reported it immediately) of a parent and there are no custodial or legal guardians (like obtaining guardianship/custody from a family court ) then a temp removal/placement may take place. Trust me if CPS was involved this movie would be at least be a mini series of thier involvement.

[@maddwitch]

@@LunatheLoungeSinger In their case, it isn't about a complaint, but guardianship after the death of both parents. Nani has to prove to the courts that she is a fit guardian to to be made a permanent guardian. That means home visits, interviews, and documented proof that she can support and care for Lilo.

They have resources for helping guardians secure employment, access social services, parenting classes etc. He never offered her any of that and made it seem that if Lilo had to go to foster care it was going to be permanent which I didn't have to be, the point if foster care is that it's supposed to be temporary.

This movie is careful to show how good Nani actually is for Lilo. She understands her personality and admits her own mistakes like a parent should. She tells Lilo her boss is a vampire so Lilo doesn’t feel guilty about Nani losing her job, which also distracts Lilo from the bleak situation. With the right support, Nani would be an ideal guardian. Sadly, children of native people and poc are taken away far more easily and often by social services. They have so little guidance in finding resources to help them get jobs and benefits to support themselves. I always thought the movie did a good job hinting at that, with Nani having to job hunt all by herself as a teenager.

Love this movie! And love how both Nani and Cobra Bubbles want what's best for Lilo & both have good points to make for their own side. Cobra Bubbles is correct that the chaos & instability in their current living situation isn't good for Lilo but Nani is right that it's unlikely a foster family will be as understanding and supportive of Lilo's quirks, which also wouldn't be healthy for her.

[@christinaify]

Lilo brings Pudge the Fish a sandwich because he controls the weather and her parents were killed while driving in a storm. My heart. Nani singing Aloha' Oe to Lilo the night before a government agency is about to separate them. My heart. "...I remember everyone that leaves." My heart.

[@petrastedman669]

All wonderful moments that tug the heartstrings. Also, "This is my family. Is little... and broken, but still good. ... Yeah. Still good." Not sure if it makes it better or worse that I can do the Stitch voice; the odds increase dramatically that I might make myself cry.

[@DBfan12]

This was my favourite Disney movie as a kid, and still is tbh. I just related so much to Lilo as a kid.

[@nehankhan1584]

I have a recommendation; The Emperors New Groove… the sarcasm and humour in that is amazing

[@COSun25]

Nice to see you guys review one of Disney's best from 2002. I can't wait to see you go deeper into the 'Lilo & Stitch' franchise including the two animé series.

[@joecrammond6221]

i like the story with cobra bubbles, he is portrayed as doing his job as a social worker, certainly not easy, especially when it comes to separating families, and he is sympathetic

[@sarcasmallover8999]

So happy you guys did this movie, its my favorite Disney animated film. I was born and spend half my childhood in Hawaii, watching this gives me a sense of comfort few other things provide.

[@thenerdytiger9306]

29:00 🙄yeah because removing the only person who understands this young child is really what's best for her.

[@macdancer37]

You’re right! They are singing in Hawaiian. Also this was my favorite movie too growing up, loved watching y’all react to it!

[@justasimpwithclass4244]

It always gets me when Lilo prays for a friend/angel, cause when I was little I would pray to god for the same thing. Although I’m not religious anymore it still makes me emotional, cause I really hoped and believed there might of been at least one person out there who understood me. Unfortunately I don’t think there’s anyone out there for me still.

[@justasimpwithclass4244]

Not me crying 💀

[@kittykat90190]

Believe me, there is someone. It might take you a long time to meet them, but they’re out there. My sleep schedule is shit, so I can’t guarantee any quick replies, but if you want to chat in the comments section, I’m down for that.

[@hellopeople6138]

as someone who grew up with alot of childhood trauma, I sob every time I watch this movie. Even by just watching the clips you showed I ended up crying. Life isn't fair and kids shouldn't have to learn that so early and showing Lilo's coping mechanisms turning other kids away from her is so heart breaking

[@co0kii]

This is my cue to finally watch lilo and stitch!! I was in the target demographic but never got around to watching it. I have watched the opening sequence a few times and absolutely love the song. It’s so overwhelmingly pure, and makes me feel warm inside ☺️

[@haexan]

I loved Lilo and Stitch as a child, and rewatching it makes me realise something new every time, from the meaning of Lilo and Stitch's names to Nani's surf trophies in the background telling what she had to give up and it hurts even more in relation to the soundtrack song, which also adds to the subtle yet consistent comment on how the Hawaiian people are mistreated and they're traditions misuse for tourist entertainment, and I'm sure I'll notice another thousand things as I rewatch it again and again... absolute masterpiece!

[@Izzyneedscoffee]

When I was a kid I remember the first time I saw this movie. I came from an unstable home and my sister ended up having to take care of me. My home life was a lot like Lilos

[@laurajaynenolan2149]

I did miss your beautiful faces at the end but really enjoyed this whole video, thanks so much for being your awesome selves! 😊♥️ always love your reactions 🥰👏

[@agenttheater5]

7:37 I don't think she knows that fish eat fish. It's been all but confirmed by the writers that the reason Lilo feeds Pudge the sandwich was because she somehow got the idea that the reason why her parents died in the crash was because Pudge made it rain, so now she thinks that if she doesn't give him a peanut butter sandwich every week he'll make the weather hurt someone else.

[@valentinafangirling]

Doesn’t matter how old i am i still cry to this movie every time. Even in reactions. My ultimate favorite movie, and stitch is my ultimate favorite character.

[@sarahskittles3608]

Stitch is forever my favorite Disney character and this movie was always so great, but it’s literally so depressing, I’m 30 and I still cry like a baby whenever stitch is in the woods by himself with the book saying, “I’m lost” 😂

[@mynameismaddymwah3178]

I always related to Nani because I’m the oldest sibling and always felt a lot of pressure to be the best example possible but I’ve always struggled to meet everyone’s expectations. So I always related most with Nani, even as a kid.

[@lessismore8533]

Yah younger sibling are SO spoiled it’s not fair! They do like NO work 😂 This movie is so relatable

[@justjaimie]

I feel like you guys make some of the best movie commentators. I appreciate your insights on the movies and I like your humor. I get so happy when i see a new video of yours pop up!

[@petrastedman669]

David Ogden Stiers voiced Dr Jumba! He was also Gov Ratcliffe and Cogsworth from Beauty & the Beast. Just one of the greatest voices.

[@summerrose8110]

Thank you for watching Lilo and Stitch. This movie is close to my heart. I can still do Stitch impressions when I was little and now.

[@soficontreras8249]

OH MY GOD THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES YEEEESSSSSSSS thank uuuuuu

[@themoviebud1988]

No worries, hope you enjoy 😊 - Sam

[@takijahrichardson8752]

Ohana means family gets me every time 🤧

[@petrastedman669]

Family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten.

[@DAMIENDMILLS]

I love how Disney edited the washing machine Lilo hides in, into a pizza box. They assumed parents blindly turn on washing machines without checking for children. But the funny thing is, they left in the foley of a washing machine door. When does a cardboard box sound like metal? 😆

[@hoykfnvnnesnxnnensncjforkx1616]

Wasn't it because originally when they released the movie kids were going into their washing machines at home so the release on disney plus they decided to go back and change it

[@DAMIENDMILLS]

@@hoykfnvnnesnxnnensncjforkx1616 Kids have done it before the movie came out. I remember doing it before the movie even came out. And my mother never turned it on while I was in it. That's the parent's fault if any kid ever got hurt.

[@starlacUK]

@@hoykfnvnnesnxnnensncjforkx1616 IIRC The blame can be placed on the BBFC - the UK film ratings board - noted that they would give the film a 12 (12 and over only) rating if the machine scene wasn't edited or cut because of fears of inimitable behaviour. Disney edited it to get a U rating (the UK equivalent of G).

[@DogsandPennies]

No it’s because there’s been way too many cases of kids being trapped in washing machines and hurt so they didn’t want to encourage it. It’s silly to complain about an edit that’s ultimately for the good of children’s safety and really just doesn’t have a negative effect.

[@dee.appleshyn2939]

This is one of my all time favorite disney movies! I wish people watched it more! I never tapped so fast in my life! Thank you MovieBudz you guys are amazing!

[@cat-napsss]

11:28 so fun fact, the table and pizza box Lilo uses to hide is only in the Disney+ edited version. It’s actually the washing machine, and you can hear the unchanged audio of the door clicking open. They altered it to keep kids from being their unhinged selves and locking themselves in washers.

[@LunatheLoungeSinger]

There actually is an episode in Invader Zim where Gir was fixed to be smarter and it went Hal 9000 on everyone

[@user-rz3cr1zi4y]

my grandma gave me cafe de leche in the bottle when I was 2 and it put me right to sleep. caffeine has no effect on me, sometimes to this day it knocks me out 😂

[@eccentricHellion]

Fun fact: in the original Lilo was hiding in a dryer (next to the washer) but they changed it so kids wouldn’t try to climb in the dryer lol. It’s still that way on old VHS and DVD releases.

[@LadyKuroneko13]

I like the room scene in Spanish “Go to your room” “Guess where I am???!!!”

[@PandaOfHearts772]

Oh god, I blocked out Nani singing goodbye to Lilo.... instant tears 🥺🥺🥺

[@monio.9444]

I can't even watch a reaction video to this movie without those damn ninjas cutting onions all around me. Such a good movie. Thank you for doing this one. Looking forward to the next video.

[@isabeauwolf562]

I remember watching this movie in theaters with my dad when it first came out. Now for the past few weeks, its all my 3 year old daughter would watch. XD

[@AetherSpirit95]

One of my fav fun facts for this movie is there’s a deleted scene where they explain why lilo takes pics of tourists is because she’s taking pictures of them like tourists take pictures of indigenous Hawaiians and native culture

[@AetherSpirit95]

Oh an also she names him stitch so he can stitch their family back together

[@briannabradley2624]

Not me watching this and bawling my eyes out almost the whole time 😭😭

[@OshawottLuke]

I'm rewatching your reaction one day after I first watched it. Searched other reactions to this movie and watched them but none were as good as this one, in both loving the fun stuff and the emotional stuff. I never thought I'd rewatch a reaction so soon. It's both because of the movie and because of you.

[@agenttheater5]

2:10 Jumba: "I didn't teach him that!"

[@ShadowKaiserin]

This movie holds a special place in my heart, as a former foster kid. And you're right, the foster system is terrible.

[@kassandrajeffery7035]

I love this movie so much. The changes in animation and character designs (ie, removing sharp joints/features and replacing them with circular ones, like elbows, etc) Plus, of course, the fact that all of the music is native Hawaiian or Elvis. I didn't know about the cultural and historical meaning/symbolism behind some of the music choices, etc, until I read the comments below, but I've always loved that they centred it around the culture and people of Hawaii.

[@Sarah-xb1tw]

HOW EXCITING! I absolutely loved Lilo and Stitch growing up. Your reactions and commentary are always so enjoyable. :))

[@daniellemhall1358]

When Stitch says "I'm lost" I CRY EVERY TIME.

[@cherrylattimore]

this is the first time watching it since disney "cleaned up the scene" where Lilo hides in the dryer and her sister sits ob top of it to grab her in the blanket. (time stamp 11:28) In the original it was definately a dryer but disney realized that was a lawsuit waiting to happen and stuck a picture of a pizza on the door (though no idea what it's supposed to be now since saying its ok to crawl into a pizza oven doesn't seem much safer, lol). (i know i keep my pizza oven right next to the washing maching, lmao)

[@petrastedman669]

Specifically, they changed it to a table with a pizza box on its edge in front of it to mimic a door. That way they could keep the animated motion work they'd already done and just overlay it with something less imitable and potentially unsafe.

[@unknowndane4754]

There's also the scene where Stitch fights the alien (I can't remember how to spell his name and is too lazy) and throws a multitool, in the original the item poking out of the door is a knife, here it's toothpaste.

[@cherrylattimore]

@@unknowndane4754 i'd forgotten about that one. Somebody did a utube video about a bunch of stuff disney-plus decided to change in various disney movies before adding them to their streaming services - not sure how i feel about it but safety first i suppose.

[@unknowndane4754]

@@cherrylattimore I feel like these kind of small censoring things aren't too bad, as the storytelling isn't actually affected

[@starlacUK]

The UK ratings board told them to change that scene when they issued it there back in '02, or else get a 12 rating (no-one under 12 allowed). The edit got them a U (the UK's G).

[@judeless77]

I love how Lilo is the same girl from The Ring. It makes sense.

[@a.g.demada5263]

In France, she's voiced by the girl who voiced young Tantor in " Tarzan ", Pacha's daughter in " Kuzco " and the little kangoo in " Winnie the Pooh "

[@lessismore8533]

How does it make sense? Lol.
