'Lilo & Stitch': Disney's Original Animated Movie Is Even Better 23 Years Later

Released in June 2002, Lilo & Stitch, as a film, was much like its title characters — an outsider in the Disney canon. It was an original idea that merged science fiction with a contemporary set drama about sisters on the verge of being separated by child protective services. It had a smaller budget and scale than previous Disney animated films, and was even done by a smaller animated team. However, the finished product, a gorgeous blend of hand-drawn animation, water-painted backgrounds, and CGI to give some of the sci-fi elements an alien element, turned out to be a timeless Disney classic.
