When Lilo and Stitch was on its way back in 2002, people were not really sure what to expect. The poster merely said “There’s one in every family” with a picture of what looked like a blue dog with big long ears with many of the loved Disney characters sitting in the background. So the question was what was the film going to be about, many Disney peeps or a simple spin of feature film?
Well the truth is that it was none of those things. Stitch was actually an aggressive alien from another planet who was turned good by Lilo and her sister by making him a member of the family. This film was set in Hawaii and the film was nominated for an Academy Award and recieved a huge fan base. So fo course Disney saw this and soon after another film was released along with a television series based on the poular franchise. Disney had managed to do something they hadn't done in many, many years. It was a film much like the Jungle Book in the way the entire family could just sit back and relax enjoying it.
Stitch is now of course put over everything Disney. What was it that made this film such a success, the fact that it was set in the beautiful Hawaii or that Stitch appeals to both sexes?
Stitch actually has a ride at Walt Disney World and performs in many of the shows. Hoodies, cups, t-shirts, pins you name it Stitch spotted on it. If you still have not seen the original film it is worth a watch even if it is just to see what all the hype is about.
Of course you could go on one of those Hawaii holidays to see the island from the films. USA holidays are great for the entire family and if you are looking to meet Stitch himself then Orlando holidays is where you should be looking to go.
