Amazon.co.uk Review
Disney sets a record for bringing out a direct-to-video sequel after the initial film. Stitch: The Movie arrives only a year after the enjoyable Lilo & Stitch and reunites the title character (otherwise known as Experiment 626) with his earth-bound family in the warm Hawaiian sun. The story has a nice set-up: since Stitch is Experiment 626, where are the first 625 invented by Dr Jumba Jookiba? Odds are the island paradise will soon be spaceport central for many more aliens. As with other made-for-video Disney titles, the animation is not as complex or rich. This hurts this sequel even more since the original film had such a unique, pastel beauty. Unfortunately, the other elements of the film are just as flat. Even though most of the original voice cast returns, the entire production lacks the same spirit and charm, and the story's theme is recycled (get ready for more "Ohana means family"). On the plus side, the film starts with an Elvis Presley song ("Slicin' Sand") and is only 64 minutes long. The movie sets up the Disney TV series The Adventures of Lilo & Stitch. --Doug Thomas

Prelude to the TV series.......2005-11-22
Despite some shoddy animation, this film sequel/TV series prequel does contain the same warmth, humour and ohana as the original film.
The only thing that really lets it down is the animation. Boring backgrounds, with blocky main characters who sometimes have thick black lines around them, it is not as beautiful looking as it should have been.
But all the original characters are present and correct in all their good-natured humour. Stitch is his usual manic, bad self, who you just can't help but love. And the cross-dressing Pleakley seems quite out of place in a Disney film, but all the better for it!!
The storyline is fairly dull. Stitch has to capture another experiment, but it sets up the TV series well. The ending is also quite action packed and exciting.
However, the morals that it tries and force down our throats are the same morals that were seen in the original film, and so seem a litte redundant here. Even so, the focus on family and friendship is always welcome, and only the cold hearted will not feel the tug on their heart strings.
It would have been nice to have a making of documentary to know a little more about the background of the film, but this disc's extras only include some games that will keep kids happy, and a music video.
Still, for a straight to DVD film, it's not too shabby, enjoyable at times, and its downright cute.
Missing Something.......2005-08-28
This addition to the first Lilo and Stitch movie retains the same humorous and heart-warming mood of the original which compensates, in part, for the deliberately unfinished concept. Sadly it feels very much like the intro to the television series that it was designed to be; with barely any of the experiments sighted and not much progress in the way of plot.
Since I doubt I will ever get a glimpse of the television series I have been left rather disappointed. Watched in conjunction with the series I believe this feature makes a brilliant introduction, but as a stand-alone film it really isn't able to hold its own.
Doesn't compare........2003-12-13
I was extremely disappointed in this film. I adored the first one, it was creative and fun, the music and animation were superb and it had all the qualities of a good Disney film.
However this second film doesn't compare. It is obviously a very rushed project. The amimation is sloppy and the music that was a huge focus in 1 was nearly non-existant in 2. The plot, also, wasn't developed and in 1hr the film speeds by.
As with many of the Disney sequels, care of preserving a good and well loved movie doesn't seem to be an issue but rather the promise of money from gullible fans. It almost seems to tarnish the films reputation. But as long as Disney thinks they can get away with it, they will continue to do so.
Don't stop now!.......2003-10-03
So far this year,Disney have sent out a streamline of five sequels,many of which have been unanimously poor(including Inspector Gadget 2,101 Dalmatians 2 and Jungle Book 2).But at last,we got a brilliant new phenomeon in the form of Lilo and Stitch,and it's followed only a year later by a sequel that doesn't disappoint.Many sequels are just remakes of the predecessors with nothing new and everyone replaced.But this one had a clever plotline,what happened to the previous 625 experiments before Stitch?
Also the same humour the first one carried has been returned successfully.But at only an hour long,the TV series is a highly awaited thing,but some part of me also hopes that for such a fantastic movie and sequel,a third installment is on it's way.
Excellent fun.......2003-09-25
Is a great little film. Plot is great fun. Hamsterviel has a big problem for such a small guy. Stitch is back on form. Not quite as much music which is a shame. But a great film nonetheless.

Looks set to be another winning release from Disney.......2004-02-29
I love Lilo and Stitch, the original film was spectacular, the second, not so good but just as hilarious, and the series is only the best cartoon on TV. I heard about this DVD on the US Amazon and it looks interesting. It's not just a DVD, it's also a game where you have to search all over Hawaii for various experiments. The DVD also features two episodes of the series, 'Mr.Stenchy', with Experiment 254, an adorable stinkbomb that Lilo uses to win the acceptance of the other girls, and what Gantu finds an affection for once he's snatched it for the hilarious Dr. Hamsterviel. The other episode is called 'Clip', which features Experiment 177, a hair eating experiment that runs amok over the island, and it's just brilliant. Lilo tries to use it to get back at her enemy Myrtle Edmonds (I hate her too), but it attacks her mum instead. It then has a fantastic run in with Gantu, who winds up giving his own hilarious example of the hula.
