A review of 'Lilo & Stitch'

For 23 years, since the first time I “met” Experiment 626, I have been enamored and entranced. Here is that character that I can relate to. Someone mischievous, naughty, and downright clever, and because of him, since 2002, the 2nd most famous word in Hawaii after Aloha became Ohana.

Many of the people who have watched the newest live-action remake sniffled and bawled as their hearts got wrung tightly. So many could relate to this blue oddball, and it showed. Our kid, who, for the past seven years, has been the #1 fan of a particular bear from the Hundred Acre Wood, declared his new favorite is now Stitch.

Why? Because he sees himself in him. He is a rapscallion who, at times, perhaps goes overboard, but still has a lot to offer. Stitch is his spirit animal now, as he was mine years ago. And so Stitch remains relatable and endearing two decades later.
