LILO & STITCH (2002) is the CUTEST!! | *First Time Watching* | REACTION

[@iridescentidling]

Lilo being autistic-coded is so so important to me. Like her being bullied for being different and finding companionship in other “weird” things and having this obsession with photographing tourists just makes her so real and relatable

[@niallnochill]

I love how REAL Lilo feels. Like, she feels like an actual CHILD. Prone to outbursts, argumentative, kind… it took me by surprise how realisticly they depicted her! Also, everything you’ve just said makes me love her character even more❤️

[@judeless77]

LILO isn’t autistic, she’s traumatized because she lost her parents and her sister doesn’t know how to raise her.

[@discretelyobvious]

this! people get so butthurt over us autistics pointing it out too. i could go into depth about how she's coded as autistic, it's not just trauma that makes her the way she is (and growing up autistic around allistics is in itself traumatic)

[@sugary2006-uj2jy]

@@judeless77 you must be funny at parties

[@fireruby1882]

YES EXACTLY!! I heavily related to her since I was a kid 😭and now I know why

[@videohistory722]

Nanis story gets even sadder when you realize she was on track to be a professional surfer, as demonstrated by all the medals in her room and her skill on the beach.

[@meba444]

Also, Nani is canonically 19 years old in this movie. Imagine you’re a pro surfer, and then overnight your parents die, you have to take care of your 6yo sister, and help her through her grief as you work through yours. My heart goes out to Nani so much.

[@nathancruz9172]

@@meba444me too

[@aliaj98]

Ikr Nani and lilo are 2 of my favorite animated characters of all time and their stories are so sad and heartbreaking. But someone pointed out that the reason lilo feeds pudge a sandwich,regularly, is bc the parents died in a storm and shes trying to prevent it from happeneinh again,i guess.

[@nathancruz9172]

@@aliaj98 that’s exactly what I have in mind.

[@rebellyanmagic6409]

That comes up in the series as well. A few of Nani's old high school friends come to vacation and run into her. They think she managed to make it as a pro surfer and she's embarrassed to tell them the truth

[@videohistory722]

Another thing I never noticed until someone pointed it out: Lilo says she likes Stitch AFTER finding out Stitch survived getting hit by a truck. She thinks he won't leave like their parents did.

[@zoemiller5765]

Sad fact: (and a small history lesson) the way the US acquired Hawaii as a state was because Hawaii was originally a monarchy and so the US imprisoned their queen for years and the song Nani sings to Lilo was written by their queen for her people while she was imprisoned

[@Tetrabiblo]

Rip Princess Liliʻuokalani

[@Ari_C]

that's heartbreaking. it makes the song all the more beautiful and emotional

[@donniebrasco11]

Your history is wrong. #1 Queen Lili'uokalani was arrested and imprisoned in her *palace's upstairs bedroom* #2 she was conspiring to over throw the government of the republic of Hawaii #3 it was not years, it was from January to September of 1895 (8 months) until the rebellion stopped

[@nathancruz9172]

That’s a sad 😔 story.

[@TheChupVinaOfficial]

​@Tetrabiblo my name is Lilikoi, and I recently found out about Lili'oukalani. 😢❤

[@kmuk6276]

Have you noticed how lilo in the beginning gives the fish a sandwich because He controls the weather? ❤ her parents died becauseof the bad weather and shewants to give the fish sandwiches so that nobody will die again 😢 like her parents. I love this movie ❤❤❤

[@niallnochill]

Wow… way to make me upset again ☹️🥺 Lilo is too cute omg

[@judeless77]

That’s an odd assumption

[@chronosclaimsall]

@@judeless77 Not really? If her parents died to bad weather it makes all the sense that she would want tokeep the weather fish happy

[@RaquellyReacts]

@@judeless77but its true, its the reason she beat up Myrtle. And look at the expression on the adults faces when she says this, it’s because they know why she’s doing it.

[@brabbit736]

The clouds actually seemed to roll back, too, adding support to her belief

[@nescirian]

"Child actor's killing it" - she really showed off her range that year too - playing two wildly different iconic roles the same year, as Lilo here and Samara in The Ring. Honestly, the difference in tone is crazy enough that people probably think I'm joking, but you can look it up.

[@fightingfaerie]

She’s also the little girl in the English version of Spirited Away

[@ThallVic]

And her name is Daveigh Chase, by the way.

[@GoldenWreck]

@@fightingfaerie holy shiz never realised that, that's phenomenal haha. No wonder both of those character's voices are so good and accurate despite Chihiro being dubbed

[@catatemyname7801]

A couple details about the movie: If you go back to the scene where Stitch is used to play a vinyl recording, Nani has a lot of trophies in her room. It is assumed that she was a professional surfer, or working to become one, before her parents died and she had to give up on that dream to raise Lilo. There's a scene that was cut from the movie that explains why Lilo takes pictures of tourists. Basically she's had a lot of interactions with ignorant tourists who were treating her like an exotic animal ("oh, look! A local!"). So she started taking their pictures like they are the exotic animals, to get back a little bit of emotional control over those situations, as a way to help her deal. This is one of my all-time favourite movies. I love your reactions, and all the picks you've listed make me so excited to see more of your channel. Much love from Germany!

[@fightingfaerie]

Yes you have to find the deleted scene. It is amazing.

[@ellebroidery]

Niall struggling with not calling the kids b*tches is the funniest thing I’ve seen all week

[@shame2189]

The bitch with the glasses really works people's nerves though lol, she's just as big a menace as Lilo but the cadence she carries makes her absolutely despicable. Her voice actress did a terrific job, all voice actors in this movie did!

[@mountain_dreams]

Theres so many good details about this movie! But Nani and David really are the best. Keep in mind Nani was 19, she just lost her parents too and now has to be the parent. Its also implied she was a professional surfer and gave up her dream when her parents died. Its also implied that Nani and David did have a thing, but after her parents died he backed off to give her space and to help support her. He never tries to push her anything either. Also 'Lilo' means Lost in Hawaiian, where as 'Stitch' is to put together.

[@dizzy5]

Lost and put together...

[@beccamann7535]

Originally, the spaceship chase was originally gonna be an airplane chasing the spaceship in a city, but it was boarded and animated before 9/11, but after that happened, they had to change the design of the following ship and the landscape (bc the movie came out in 2002)

[@niallnochill]

i legit just watched a youtube video with the animation of the ship as a PLANE!!! omg 🤯

Pleakley is “him” canonically his first name is Wendy Pleakley and he is very much into drag and I love that this was done especially in the early 00s 😂🤟🏼

[@ElCactus7567]

Oh you have no idea. Pleakley, the one-eyed alien in the wig, is a queer icon. Especially for anyone who's seen the show that was on the Disney channel. They didn't even hide it.

@@IllumInator-sv3tl it's on disney+ pretty sure it's just called lilo and stitch the series. it's really, really good. i was just watching it recently

[@Okay_Is_Wonderful]

Atlantis is quite underrated & Hunchback is deeper & darker than you'd think, both great picks!

[@cambenji]

i never thought much of hunchback cause no one talked about it. then i watched it… and that has become EASILY one of my favorites if not simply because the songs alone (i mean cmon “out there”, “god save the outcasts”, and “hellfire” ALL IN ONE SOUNDTRACK?!)

[@Miss_Moon14]

Atlantis is my favorite Disney movie ever it's so good

[@bensmith6004]

Stitch knows what San Francisco looks like because he saw the postcard when they were first wandering around the city after he was adopted

[@fightingfaerie]

Also the black and white movie was a monster attacking the city

[@shame2189]

The one question on my mind though; how the fuck did he learn what Hanukkah is?

[@HiddenWindshield]

30:25 Well, they did foreshadow Bubble's past a little bit at the beginning. Lilo: Did you ever kill anybody? Bubbles: ...We're getting off the subject.

[@theheartofthestone]

There is a fan theory that Lilo and Nani's parents were in the CIA and had worked with Mr bubbles.

[@HiddenWindshield]

@@theheartofthestone Just goes to show that there'll be a "fan theory" for absolutely anything under the sun, even if there's no evidence whatsoever for it.

The sandwich and the weather controlling fish is actually foreshadowing to later when she tells Stitch about their parents' car accident in the rain.

[@Dominicque1]

Fun Fact: When fans ask the film's director and writer, Chris Sanders, what Meega, nala kweesta meant. he said, “Although I know what it means, I could never say it.”

Lilo's VA is an amazing girl who has played some very memorable characters. Some examples are Chihiro from Spirited Away and Samara from The Ring

[@videohistory722]

White leis represent love. It calming him down is meant to show how he's never been shown love before, and from this point on, he starts to change for the better.

[@JoCamp696]

There's a theory floating around that Lilo and Nani's parents were also CIA and Bubbles took their case because he worked with them.

[@kriscynical]

This movie is so wonderful for "broken" families that have suffered loss. My family was decimated by more than half within ~15 years from deaths and divorce, including both of my older sisters. We're down to myself, my adult niece, and my parents now, and I often use the line from this movie to describe us: "This is my family. It may be little, and broken, but it's still good."

[@RedBanana_]

There’s something about “oh, she’s swimming with hammerhead sharks” that just makes me laugh. Because, generally speaking, hammerheads are scared off *incredibly easily,* like, quite a few people have said that they can be quite annoying to try to swim with because the air bubbles alone can often be enough to scare them off. (Just to be clear, regardless of this, I’m not suggesting anyone actually attempt to approach hammerheads without training, they *are* still animals with serrated teeth and an insane bite force).

[@fernandodesiqueiraqueiroz5832]

My mind just blew out when i realized that they named Stitch because he mends Lilo's family.

[@RukiyaReacts]

Awe, thanks for the shoutout, babe! Lilo & Stitch is a childhood classic for me, and I'm so glad you loved the movie! 💙

[@kiefcoffee]

Lottsa deleted scenes portray Lilo's perspective of the tourists far more, they treat her as an "other" in her own home, so she photographs tourists the same as they usually do with natives. I suggest checking em out, would've loved if it was more a part of the film's themes! Only really present in the theatrical cut with the "fakey luau" Nani's fired from and Lilo's wall

I like David in this movie, based entirely on the fact that his presence is entirely additional. Any scene he is in doesn't need him, any plot relevance he holds could just as easily be filled by Nani or just left empty. But, even though he has no need to be there, he is, and while he is he is supporting Nani, vibing with Lilo, saving Stitch, and just being a kind and caring guy to this family. And though he wants to be Nani's partner, he isn't pushy about it, and still cares about them when that goal is being denied.

[@arianerouge8693]

I realized there were so many hidden jokes in this movie. Like that earth is in "area 51" of the galactic federation. Or the Mulan shop. 😂

[@Tetrabiblo]

Fun fact: Disney didn’t even know this movie was being made because the animators and writers thought they would get rejected due to the concept being too “weird” for Disney at the time

[@ThallVic]

In fact, I remember that the promos were mostly Stitch causing chaos in other Disney Classics. And one poster for the movie were famous Disney characters weirded out by Stitch.

“Oh good. My dog found the chainsaw” top tier cinema line. The delivery 🤌🏻

[@serenitytoepper]

Why is Pudge the fish important? Because of this, Lilo has come to the conclusion that Pudge the fish controls the weather-as he is a fish in water and rain comes from the water- and gives him peanut butter sandwiches so no other kid has to go through what she did. She is coping with the loss of her dead parents. And this is her only way of being able to express her feelings about this. I read somewhere on Disney facts sideline that explained that she blames herself because on the day she didn't feed him a sandwich, the storm happened, and her parents died. So, this is why she thinks Pudge the fish controls the weather and it's a sad tale yes. But she has a lot to deal with being a 7-year-old who's being raised by a teenage sister. Lilo is also heavily damaged herself. She suffers from abandoned child syndrome which is a common illness among children who have lost their parents. She also has a behavioral disorder called intermittent explosive disorder in which she often has outbursts of anger and usually takes it out on her classmates violently. I wanted to share this with you.

[@InvasionAnimation]

Fun fact: the spaceship chase scene in the mountains was a reshoot. They were originally in a plane with buildings then the day of darkness happened. So it was changed.

[@brodyquest02]

fun fact i like to tell people watching this movie for the first time: remember how lilo has a tradition of bringing pudge the fish a peanut butter sandwich every thursday bc he controls the weather? remember how her parents died in a car crash bc it was raining? :D

[@bookaddict9591]

This is one of my all time favourite animated movies hands down, alongside two of those you mention coincidentally 😅 The character's in this movie are allowed to have emotions even when they aren't "pretty" and they feel far more realistic because of it, i never get through it without crying a whole lot.

This is one of my all time favorite Disney movies. I love how Lilo just accepts everyone for who (or what) they are. I love the realistic portrayal of the relationship between Nani and Lilo. Something a lot of people miss is the reasoning behind Lilo's fixation on making sure Pudge gets his sandwich. She says, "Pudge controls the weather." Her parents died driving on a rainy night. It's her way of making sense of and controlling her world in a way that makes sense to her child worldview.

A couple tidbits to rend your heart: “Lilo” is Hawaiian and means “lost.” So someone lost and someone to mend the heart back together. Lilo is in the autism spectrum. It’s why she is so challenged relating to others. She and the entire movie is special.

[@bitterzombie]

Stitch has been my favorite disney character since I was a child. His behavior is the result of his neglect, he was made to be a monster & he embraces that, but he grows from that because he wants more than that. It is like when a kid is raised to believe that there is something wrong with them, that they don't deserve love. That's part of why Lilo & Stitch's friendship is so impactful- they are both coming at it from the same perspective, just different experiences.

Sad History fact: originally the big climatic space ship chase was going to have Nani, Jamba, Stitch and Pleakly steal a plane and do the chase through the city.

The scene with the spaceship chase through the city was actually redone after the movie was already made. Originally they hijack a plane and chase down Gantu though the city. They changed it because it involved the plane crashing into a building. Right before it was set to be released in theaters, 9/11 happened, and they made the executive decision to delay the release in theaters to reanimate it so now its just a spaceship that LOOKS like a plane.

What's sad about Nanis luau job is that this is actually what Hawaiians had to do when the western culture took over. A luau was a sacred practice until the westerners took the concept and had the audacity to change it into a time to stuff your face with food and put on grass skirts and coconut bras and dance the hula. And when they had these events, they didn't even let actual Hawaiian people in, so to make money to take care of themselves, the Hawaiians were hired to work in these disgraceful events to clean up after the tourists like slaves only to make less than a buck.

I love this movie because it touches very quickly on colonization, gentrification, grief, sisterhood, and how unjust the United States systems are. Lilo taking a picture of the tourist in HER home land (because thats what tourists do with everything), Nani singing the song that was made from their Queen to her, CPS targeting low-income and barely surviving (and mostly POC) families and separating them, even if they do all the right things. And Nani having to make sacrifices to her own life and giving up her ambitions to raise Lilo, which is a reality for a lot of people. Mertle (or whatever her name is) treating Lilo like an outcast in her own land when SHE is just another gentrifier and colonizer, and having the nerve to treat her like an alien. Even the music of the movie is so well thought out and having a Native Hawaiian like Mark Kealiʻi Hoʻomalu put his cultural touch on it made it soo much better. Several of these issues are still extremely prevalent in the United States. This movie is very special to me.

Not me crying when Stitch said he found family all on his own. 😭

Your timing for this video drop is on point. Right when the live action Stitch dropped. It's like you knew. Stitch is absolutely my favorite Disney character 💙

The song Nani sings to Lilo is the song the queen of Hawaii wrote before she was forcibly removed from the throne by the US. Also, the ship was originally going to fly through a city. Then 9/11 happened and they changed it to the mountains.

As a kid who was raised and adopted by my older sister this movie always makes me emotional and I relate to lilo asf

Ive literally binged all your animated reactions LOL. I love your reactions and sobbing to Coco is how I found you tbh. Speaking of classics: Have you seen Treasure Planet or BROTHER BEAR? 2 of my most fav Disney classics that I think are underrated af
