- 90Washington PostDesson ThomsonWashington PostDesson ThomsonThe animation, rendered in good old-fashioned watercolors, is appealing. It's easy, rather than flashy, on the eyes. But the best thing about the movie is the humor.
- 88New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickDrawing inspiration from anime and vintage Looney Toons, this beautifully drafted, offbeat charmer is hip, funny - and a bona fide heart tugger for the whole family.
- 80TimeRichard CorlissTimeRichard CorlissIt's a bright, engaging bauble with half a dozen Elvis Presley songs for Mom and Dad, and just enough sass -- Stitch sticks his tongue into his nose and eats his snot -- to keep the tweeners giggling.

- 75Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThe most original and amusing animation in recent memory. Kids will love its fantasy and adventure, and grownups should appreciate its whimsical humor.
- 75USA TodayClaudia PuigUSA TodayClaudia PuigThe soundtrack is mostly Elvis tunes, and Stitch even does an adorable impersonation of the King. As Elvis might put it, you can't help falling in love with Lilo & Stitch.
- 75Seattle Post-IntelligencerPaula NechakSeattle Post-IntelligencerPaula NechakAlthough the start of the movie is a little fragmented, and the last quarter turns predictably rote, the middle is heartfelt, wonderfully diverse and empowering.
- 70New York Magazine (Vulture)Peter RainerNew York Magazine (Vulture)Peter RainerDisney's Lilo & Stitch, which is animated in the traditional way, with watercolor backgrounds, is lovely, and funny, too. It owes a great deal to Japanese anime, but there's also a "Looney Tunes" friskiness to it that's distinctively homegrown.
- 63ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliIn terms of storytelling, voice characterization, and visual appeal, Lilo & Stitch seems more like a wannabe production than an actual Disney effort.
- 50Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe animation in Lilo & Stitch has an engaging retro-simple vivacity, and it's nice to see a movie for tots make use of Elvis Presley, but the story is witless and oddly defanged.
