The History of Lilo & Stitch

Take a deep dive into the full lore of the world of #LiloAndStitch, beginning at the original movie and traversing onwards to the TV series, anime, video games, theme park attractions, and much more - covering all kinds of Stitch-related content from the well-known to the super obscure! (Including a couple of things that were at risk of becoming lost media).
Everything is added on to a central timeline and tied together to make it all make sense, as #Disney has claimed almost all of these #Stitch appearances are canon (although exceptions are mentioned as well). So enjoy this journey through the entirety of the Lilo & Stitch universe, following the many adventures of experiment 626!

Absolutely fantastic! Lilo and Stitch is my absolutely favourite Disney film. Its growth as a production feels like the development of the team's understanding of the core message.

[@OperationVaniT]

Thanks! It's our favourite too, I have super-fond memories of going to see it in the cinema :3 To get to see Stitch go so far is amazing, and yeah, every new person who tackles it definitely understood the assignment haha

[@majidebunny]

Wow what a great comprehensive look at everything Stitch! I can only imagine how long it took for you to put this all together! One small thing, you mentioned at 1:44:00 that the character parks appearances go before the Leroy and Stitch Movie because Leroy has never been in the parks, but just before this at 1:43:18 so show a video of the Leroy walk around character. He has made multiple appearances at Disneyland Paris along with the other experiments.

[@OperationVaniT]

That's not Leroy, that is Experiment 627 from Lilo & Stitch the series ;D It wasn't a mistake, the experiments first appearance were in Japan for the "Find Stitch! Hana Hou!!!" event in 2006, which was a little too close to the release date of Leroy & Stitch. Disneyland Paris brought them over specially for a party and then let them roam in the parade for the 25th anniversary in 2017 with that fab new Pleakley outfit :3

[@majidebunny]

@@OperationVaniT Ah okay, I didn't realize 627 could do the 6 arm thing too! I wish they brought out all of the experiments more, they are so fun to see as a group!

[@OperationVaniT]

He also has 2 heads ahaha, sadly they didn't include that feature XD Definitely!! Besides seeing Lilo and Stitch when we can, ee managed to meet Angel at DLP when she was first there, but sadly missed out on getting to meet Gantu and Hamsterviel at WDW due to lockdown. Hoping they hold more events with all of them in so we can meet the rest! ^_^

[@mxagostinho]

I loved this!! Will you do more videos about other films? I would LOVE to watch an Hercules one

[@OperationVaniT]

Thank you! :D We do have a few ideas in the works...Not going to spoil anything, but we can definitely consider Hercules in the future when we sort out some of our other stuff!

[@azusitajr5501]

Oh in Spain we did get the uncensored scenes!!

[@OperationVaniT]

That's cool to know, also surprising. From what I could see, most of the international versions got the censored version. Guess Spain was more chill on that kind of thing.

[@azusitajr5501]

@@OperationVaniT YEAH WICH IS WILD cause we usually get our cartoons n stuff directly from the UK !! But u believe Disney used to send the full og films and Spain was in charge of the censorship. Even tho we also didnt get that Pocahontas and John Smith song as well?? Like , the moment i realized that existed I was like huh wwha

[@lilcrazymiami8306]

I love lilo and stitch

[@laylonerdio]

[@OperationVaniT]

Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed our crazy deep dive :D

7:25 "And as Disney didn't want to tie a children's movie down with real world affairs." Times sure have changed! Seems political correctness messaging, and 'real world affairs' is all they're willing to put in their new movies. Good, entertaining storytelling has taken a backseat to the DEI / ESG etc. message.. And audiences don't seem to enjoy being preached at, or talked down to, rather than entertained, judging by Disney's abysmal box office returns of late... Here's to hoping Disney drops the 'woke' pandering, and gets back to making enjoyable movies again..
