Lilo & Stitch (2002)
Movie
Released
The 2025 remake gives its human family a welcome physical warmth, but the 2002 original's shapes and animated movement make Stitch's destructiveness more inventively comic. Its Hawaiian household also has a particular hand-painted texture. I prefer the shorter film's balance between family strain and unruly invention, while recognising that the remake's revised character choices offer a different emphasis.
