Movie Reviews of Leroy & Stitch
Movie Review: This movie somewhat surprised me.
Summary: 4 Stars
Before I saw this movie, I've thought that it wouldn't be good. Because Disney has maken too many things of Stitch, the qualities of them were not very high (except the original "Lilo & Stitch"). And "Lilo & Stitch-2: Stitch Has a Glithch" made me a little disappointed. However, as a Disney fan, I still wanted to watch this movie. To my excitement, this movie really surprised me, the story and the music are better than that I anticipated.
I think the story of this movie is interesting. It is filled with not only happy comedy but also warmth, love and something sad. The story of this movie is after Lilo and Stitch found other 624 experiments and found where they belong. Stitch, Pleakley and Jumba went back to the outter space, but they were not as happy as they anticipated. Dr. Hamsterviel escaped from the prison and forced Jumba to creat a new evil experitment, and named him Leroy, in order to plunder other 625 experiments from the Earth. After Stitch, Pleakley and Jumba were expected to be sent to the black hole by Dr. Hamsterviel, Lilo showed her friendly attitude to experiment 625 and named him Reuben, then asked him for help. Everything was under Dr. Hamsterviel's control when Lilo and Reuben arrived at the outter space. Then, Gantu suddenly realized what he should do as soon as Lilo and Reuben were taken into prison. Gantu decided to followed the Aloha Spirit, helped them escaped, and found Stitch, Pleakley and Jumba who has escaped from the black hole, then went back to the Earth. After the battle between Stitch's cousins and the army of Leroy, the Leroys were conquerred by Lilo and Stitch's chorus. A happy ending again.
The tableaux of this movie are not as good as that of the original "Lilo & Stitch", even not as good as that of "Lilo & Stitch-2: Stitch Has a Glitch", but I really love this all-new movie. Because this movie is full-filled with creation and special atmosphere. My favorite part is that the 624 experiments and where they belong, it's interesting, creative and funny. All the experiments have different bodies and faces, but their eyes are almost the same, resemble Stitch's of course. They are cute and kind, and try their best to serve the people. Their smile and usefulness make us feel very happy for them. We meet experiment 221, Sparky again in this all-new adventure. Besides, many comical things are in this movie. For example, Jumba's "DNA stands for Do Not Ask" always makes me laugh. The dubbing voices in this movie are really great, though the dubbers haven't been changed, they can still bring us laughter.
Hmm, how to remark the music in this movie? I've no idea. I think it's neither very excellent nor bad. At the beginning of the movie, the music is from the song that came up at the ending of "Stitch! the Movie", "Aloha, E Komo Mai". I have been loving this song since I first listened to it. And now, it returns in an all-new Stitch movie and comes up with many cute cousins, it makes me so excited. But the new version with vocal in this movie is not very good, at least, not as good as the Jump 5's version. The song "Aloha, Oe" in the ending is very wonderful, featuring Lilo, Stitch and Reuben's vocals, it feels so lively and really makes me feel warm inside.
Generally speaking, this is a good movie. It really surprise me! This is one of the best sequels of Disney. Just like "Bambi-2" ("Leroy & Stitch" is not as good as "Bambi-2" of course) did, it makes me believe that Disney can make up glorious sequels. I love this movie, and I think this sequel will surprise many Disney fans who think all Disney's sequels are bad.
Movie Review: A Great Farewell To The Series
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're a fan of the "Lilo & Stitch" franchise, as I am, it'll be with some sadness that you'll watch this film, knowing that it marks the end of "Lilo & Stitch: The Series", and the supposed end to the entire L&S franchise.
This should, however, not divert you from enjoying the film, which goes a considerable distance to sending off its base, considerably.
Being presented in the animation of "The Series" and "Stitch! The Movie", and with the voices of Daveigh Chase and Chris Sanders intact, "Leroy & Stitch" tells the story of Lilo's alien companions, following an official pardon, leaving Earth to lead lives of their own on different planets (Jumba returns to his lab, Pleakley is employed at a university, and Stitch is made commander of the BRB - Big Red Battleship), while Dr. Hämsterviel, with the help of Gantu, escapes prison and manufactures an army of a new Experiment (a prototype of Jumba's; essentially, an upgraded Stitch).
Employing all of the characters featured throughout films and Series (including the Grand Council Woman and all of the Experiments), the film moves to give a climatic send-off to The Series by presenting an all-or-nothing scenario, and a Hämsterviel reaching his pinnacle of nastiness.
Though the title seems to imply it, the film by no means excludes Lilo, or diminishes her role as a main character. Stitch's dialougue, however, which has often been one of the prime sources of amusement in the past, seems diminished, with him giving less monologue than in any of the other films. Likewise, this film relies a bit annoyingly on 3D animation when it comes to spaceships.
In return, however, fans are treated to the first true "fight scene" of the franchise, between Stitch and Leroy battling it out in Jumba's lab. Another personal favorite of mine includes the climatic musical performance of "Aloha Oe", and the full induction of 625 as an essential character.
Shortly said, it's a fun film, climatic to The Series and worthy send-off, if that's what it is. It still isn't equal to the original "Lilo & Stitch" or "L&S2", but it enunciates on the potential of The Series, and manages to pull off a good film. Fans should definitely get their hands on it.
Movie Review: Send in the clones
Summary: 4 Stars
You've seen the movies, watched the shows
And now here's where it ends
This is the time to say goodbye
To Lilo and her friends
In the series, one by one
Experiments were shown
How to control their special skills
And come into their own
Jumba goes back to his lab
And starts another creature
Pleakley gets a cushy job
But wants to be a teacher
Stitch commands a battleship
A brand new big red brute
If you love men in uniform
You'll think Stitch really cute
Gantu frees Doc Hamsterviel
I can't guess his intent
They go to Jumba's lab and steal
his new experiment
Using it like Jango Fett
They make a batch of clones
Trained to kill without a qualm
Just like the Star Wars drones
Like Obi Wan and Anakin
Leroy and Stitch do battle
Doc Hamsterviel intends to slay
Experiments like cattle
But Jumba has a back up plan
A pelvis shaking ploy
When Stitch straps on the old guitar
And sings Aloha Oe
If you watched the TV shows
You need to get this one
If not just rent it for your kids
And consider your job done

Movie Review: A wonderful Aloha for Lilo and Stitch
Summary: 4 Stars
I was a bit sad when I heard that Lilo and Stitch: the Series was ending. I loved the original movie, and consider it to be Disney's best work since The Lion King (possibly even better, in a way). So I was looking for something special in Leroy and Stitch, as a send-off to Chris Saunders' little blue alien and friends.
After watching Leory and Stitch, I feel I was well rewarded.
A few parts of the plot were a bit contrived - but we are talking about a straight-to-video children's show. However, it reinforced the feeling of both fun and seriousness that made the original such a wonderful film.
I won't reveal anything regarding the plot; the basics can be read in the synopsis here on Amazon. I will say, however, that it was a nice send-off for the experiment ohanna - and it did make me just a little misty-eyed at times when I realized that it was truly the end of the series. I would consider Lilo and Stitch the most successful of Disney's more recent releases - and this is a fine end to the story. Goodbye, Lilo! See ya, Reuben (watch the movie and you'll understand)! Aloha, Stitch! We'll miss you, you loveable, cute 'n' fluffy rascal.
Movie Review: Leroy and Stitch
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a really cute little movie. You tend to expect only so much from sequels now fast forward and this is the fourth installment. My daughter loves this movie. I didn't know what the story line was so didn't exactly know what to expect.
This is basically the storyline: after having found all of the missing experiments and finding places for them Lilo, Stitch, Pleakly, and Jumba are honored by the Grand Council. Stitch, Pleakly, and Jumba are all offered the ooportunity to come home. Meanwhile Dr. Hamsterwheel is freed from prison. He finds Jumba, who is creating a new experiment, and steals the experiment which he names Leroy. He uses Leroy to capture the other experiments and take over the council. It's up to Lilo, Stitch, Pleakly, and Jumba to save the day.
