Lilo & Stitch (2002)
Attempt to recapture the knockabout recklessness of The Emperor's New Groove is mostly a failure, possibly because New Groove essentially happened by accident; many times, this film's attempts at flippancy and weirdness feel studied. Scattered laughs and a bizarre Elvis fixation hold the attention anyway until the film leaps headfirst into a river of sap (did the line about family really need to be repeated twice during the frenetic climax?), thus obliterating my hanging-by-a-thread goodwill. And I appear to be the only one who's noticed judging from the reviews, but the animation here is pretty shoddy. What the fuck, Disney?
Grade: C
