1. Concept: The premise of how family can change a living being, no matter how destructive it is, is something that clearly has potential. If you add factors like aliens, a family of two sisters without parents, and an island, then it becomes at least curious.
2. Plot: There are some plot twists, although they are not argumentatively solid and give the impression of being forced. The narrative rhythm does not have an order or purpose either, so it seems random. Therefore, in general, the story is not very good, although the premise did have a lot of potential. The problem is that if you don't take care of the plot of a movie, then the rest of the factors don't help much. For this reason, I would say that this is the main limitation that the movie had. Now, something positive that I do have to add is that there are several lines of dialogue that are funny and quite entertaining.
3. Characters: There is a good variety of iconic characters. For example, Pleakley, Jumba, the President, Captain Gantu, or the social worker, and that's just the supporting characters. As for the main characters, we have Stitch, who is undoubtedly the most outstanding for his personality and appearance, although we also have Lilo and Nani, who have a history and a culture that make them very interesting. Especially Lilo for her rebellious and atypical attitude.
4. Complexity: What they lack in the story is compensated for by the complexity of the characters, which perfectly explains the situation of both Lilo and Nani. Well, in this case, they focus mainly on Lilo's perspective and how she faces the different difficulties they are going through. This complexity allows us to empathize with these characters and connect with their desires. In this way, we are also emotionally involved in their progress, which is quite substantial.
5. Acting: Chris Sanders' voice is the key to bringing Stitch to life, as it is not just about the way he says things, but also all the noises that characterize him. Now, in general, the cast did a very good job in representing their roles.
6. Aesthetics: Perhaps what had the most impact on me was the mixed style in which some environmental illustrations had texture and that allowed the characters to stand out. Apart from that, the animation seemed fluid and even cartoonish in some cases, which reminded me of the animations I saw in my childhood.
7. Audio: The best thing of all is that they used Elvis as the driving force of the story, who even becomes a passive actor.
