Lilo and Stitch- Clearly not a fad
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 most loved Disney characters sitting in the background. So the question was what was the film going to be about, many Disney peeps or a spin off of all of Disney in general?
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's love for him. This film was set in Hawaii and the film was nominated for an Academy Award and recieved and still does recieve a huge fan base. So Disney being Disney, the sequel followed soon after along with another and a television series based on the franchise. Disney had done something that they hadn't achieved in years. It was a film like the Lion King in the way that the entire family could sit down and watch it.
Now Stitch is plastered over everything Disney from t-shirts, theme parks and other such things. Was it the Hawaiian setting or the fact that Stitch appeals to both boys and girls in that he is cute yet a complete and utter maniac at the same time?
Stitch can also be found in tomorowland of Walt Disney World in the form of his own ride. Hoodies, cups, t-shirts, pins whatever you can think of, Stitch is 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 of the talk 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.
