Lilo and StitchMovieZak Blak08/07/02

Lilo & Stitch. Movie. Disney. Starring cartoons NOT ripped of from Japan for once. Well...not that I've seen so far.

You know, its pretty rare that Zak goes to see a Disney flick. I've stayed away really since the Little Mermaid. Hell, make that the Aristocrats. Especially after I saw Kimba the White Lion "remade" into the Lion King. Without permission. Same with Atlantis being Nadia of the Blue Water. But I digress...or was that a digression? Who the fuck cares? See...Geekdom! The ONLY place where Disney and Fuck are combined to make....FUCK DISNEY!! ho ho hoooooo....ah...whoever didn't see that coming can die. Onto the show.

Lilo and Stitch is the sometimes touching, most times nutty, story of a weird ass alien looking Koalla Bear who lands on Unimportant Island #4 in Hawaii. I think the native for that is Kuaii. Go figure. Oddly enough, the way its pictured, it looks just like the ghettos in the Virgin Islands, but with those wacky Hawaiians. Either way, they're all potheads who live in caves. Our rich white buddies bought up all the land for a few pot seeds and moved everyone to caves. Yay us! So...Stitch is a mutant alien Koalla who is an illegal genetic experiment reject who gets banished to Earth after his jackass Mad Scientist Creator gets caught. The mad scientist is also apparently Russian. Gotta love Russian Aliens.

I'll be damned if I can remember Lilo's sister's name, but the main story there is that she's basically in a pot of boiling water with the intimidating Afro American social worker who has her on a deadline to get her shit into shape or else he's a takin' Lilo to some other ghetto Hawaiian family. Then enter Stitch into Lilo's life. She adopts him and he is apparently the CAUSE of all of the reasons that Lilo is taken away. Oh and Lilo's sister loses her job. Don't forget that.

I know this is pretty disjointed, and quite the chaotic review, but I have to say, I was expecting an entire OTHER movie. See...I unfortunately watched the previews for this movie. They featured dissing of Disney characters. But alas...if you're expecting that, don't. Loser.

Back to the story at hand. Ok, so in ALL their intergalactic smartness the Galatic Confederation of Smarter Aliens send the Russian Scientist Alien and some one eyed reekazoid to track down Stitch. After the inevitably fuck it up, they send a 20ft Shark Soldier to get the job down.

Then all SORTS of wackiness goes on BUT I won't ruin it. Instead I'm going into an artistic rant. This was the first movie Disney made since Dumbo that had fully watercolor painted backgrounds. Which was FABULOUS! I loved that because it really brought back the artistic talent Disney is sometimes, but not often, known for. The character animation as always was in synch, and quite well done....but sweet christmas, I found myself loving the damn backgrounds. In fact as I was gabbing about them to my cousin I was stopped by a lovely Usher at the movie theater who asked me what I was talking about. I then informed her, and then we shagged like TWO DIRTY RABBITS! YEAH BABY! Ok I can't back that up, but she was all digging my explanation of watercolor backgrounds. Love the lovage.

But I do admit, this was quite the entertaining show despite my somewhat retarded rant of a review. Official Zak [Blak] rating??

8.5 Russian Alien Scientists out of 10. Not bad for Disney. Quite original.
