I disagree with the former reviews. While Stitch has a Glitch was not up to the original, I thought it came close to being a worthy sequel. One too many characters have crisis of self-doubt, perhaps, to the point where you're muttering, "Okay, stop pushing that button." But overall it's fun to watch. The movie is mainly from Stitch's point of view instead of lilo's

Stich is a reformed character, living happily with his family, when something goes horribly wrong. Stitch begins having bursts of oncontrollable berserk behavior, and snapping out of them, with no apparent awarenesse of the destruction he has caused. His Jekyll-and-Hyde moments leave him confused and frightened, especially since Lilo believes they are just voluntary misbehavior. Stitch is in danger of ruining his home, and through no fault of his own--when he was made, something went wrong.

It's really a sort of metaphor for mental illness, and well-handled, in my opinion.In the end, only the love and support of his family can help Stitch.

The film could have used a bit of after-the-fact editing, but all in all it was a better sequel than I had hoped to see.

I had hope for this sequal. From everything I had seen in the trailers the animation looked up to par with the original and the story seemed quite interesting. So when I finally did watch it I was disapointed that it was so slow. It had some funny moments, but the story seemed to crawl along.

The animation, as I said, looks great. It's theater quality or close to it.
There was nothing spectacular about the soundtrack. In fact all I remember were a couple Elvis songs that popped up every now and then. The characters were pretty much the same as they were in the first. Pleekly was more odd than in the first, but at least he's not as bad as in the series.

The overall theme of the movie was love conquers all, and as I said before, the story was slow. I think the movie was too long. They could have easily cut a half hour out of the movie and it still might have been too slow. The only thing that kept it afloat were the times when Stitch would glitch and those were few and far between it seemed like.

Overall it was ok, it's not the worst dtv I've seen, but it's definitely not one of the best. This one would be a good for an avid Lilo and Stitch fan, but I wouldn't recommend buying it.
