Lilo & Stitch!

[annathepiper]

Okay, that was mightily enjoyable, and is arguably one of the most charming things I've seen Disney do for some time. Cute plushy aliens that sing Elvis ditties when they put their little hands on records and have their mouths opened: I'm for them!

I was nine kinds of charmed by Cute Little Hawai'ian Girl Elvis Fan delivering lines like "Elvis was a model citizen!" and "Elvis was the face of romance!" Stitch playing "You're the Devil in Disguise" on his little ukelele had me giggling hysterically. And I wanted to get up and dance when they played "Stuck On You" all throughout the "Lilo Bonds With Stitch" sequence.

Though I also do have to agree with Paul that the "Oh, San Francisco" moment was also massively giggleworthy as well. ;)

I *lurved* Lilo & Stitch. Despite the fact that apparently all the ads were saying this, I think it *is* the best animated Disney film since Lion King. It made me sniffly!

And the San Francisco moment was hysterical. *RAAR*! *laugh*

L&S is definitely the best Disney experience I've had in years. I personally was thinking I'd have to go all the way back to Beauty and the Beast for something I dug as much as this -- because although I really did dig Lion King, the Elvis factor of L&S kicks it up over that flick for me. But Beauty and the Beast has a whole bunch of music I also really love, so it competes. :)

Well, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairy tale, and I really *loved* Disney's version, but musically -- well, I'm still terminally disappointed that the Beast didn't really have a song of his own. *snif*

Although now I'm realizing I don't own the album on CD and I wanna listen to it. Hrnf. Anyway, I'm not the Elvis fan you are, so I didn't have that big musical plus with Lilo & Stitch. :)

Plus, I don't think I'll ever quite recover from the trailer for Lion King. The music in it, and the three minutes of magnificent animation, *still* stun me, even just in memory. Y'know, I *do* have TLK soundtrack. *vrooms to find it* :)

We have TLK on laser; maybe I'll have to watch it again. Granted, there was some pretty magnificient animation in there. :)

But I still periodically wander around singing, "Every morning just the same, since the morning that we came to this poor provinicial town -- GOOD MORNING BELLE!" ^_^

I didn't like Lion King OR Beauty and the Beast especially. My last favorite is still Aladdin. Esp cause of the music.

Aladdin had its moments for me -- certainly Robin Williams as the Genie was quite hysterical -- but I remember more of the music from the other two, as well as more of the lines.

"MUFASA!" "Oooooooh! Do that again!"

"I just GOTTA have a wildebeest!"

"Gaston, you are positively primeval!" "Why THANK YOU, Belle!"
