8 Reasons Why "Lilo and Stitch" Is The Best Disney Movie Of All Time

Disney movies are just the best. They have great animation, lovable characters, teach good lessons and are usually pretty funny and witty, and of course, they remind us of our childhood. It's always hard to pick a favorite Disney movie because they're all just too good, but the one that has stuck with me my whole life is "Lilo & Stitch." I know it's a "kid" movie, but I don't care, because in my opinion it's pretty much perfect. I'm sitting here with my Stitch tattoo on my wrist, wearing my Lilo and Stitch t-shirt, surrounded by my countless Stitch stuffed animals, clothes, bags, makeup brushes, phone case...I admit I'm a little obsessed, but here's why I love this movie sooo much.

1. The cutest main characters EVER.

If you don't think that a chubby little girl in a Hawaiian dress and a tiny blue alien are the cutest pair of best friends you've ever seen, I don't like you.

2. The unconventional family.

A lot of movies and TV shows make their characters way too perfect, and it can make the show hard to relate to and give people unrealistic expectations. In Lilo and Stitch, the sisters get into a screaming match in the first half hour of the movie. Relatable.

3. Nani in general.

Lilo's older sister Nani is praised a lot for being one of the only Disney women to not have a totally unrealistically skinny body, but still look amazing and be confident. She's also total sister goals, from when she gets Lilo a dog, then fights to keep her when the social worker visits, and then that heartbreaking scene in the hammock...I'm tearing up thinking about it.

4. Lilo is a badass.

It's the truth. Poor Lilo is imperfect and gets bullied quite a bit by Myrtle and her squad, but she totally stands up for herself. And it's kind of awesome and hilarious at the same time. She's like five but already confidence goals.

5. The Elvis references.

I will never get sick of that "Burning Love" montage.

6. The vacation vibe.

Who would've thought that Hawaii would be the perfect setting for a Disney movie about aliens? I don't even know why, but it works. Every time I watch this movie I feel like I'm going on vacation. And don't even get me started on how much I love "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride."

7. The friendship between Lilo and Stitch.

One of the overarching messages in this movie is that even if you feel like an outcast, there's someone out there for you. Watching these two little outcasts become best friends warms my heart every time.

8. The deep message.

Although Lilo and Stitch is cute and funny and great for kids, it's got a few really deep meanings. There's the classic message of "Ohana," and there's also some really great commentary about standing up for yourself and being a true friend. It really spreads the greatest message.

My tattoo-from the ending "This is my family. It's little. And broken. But still good. Yeah, still good."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
