Why "Lilo And Stitch" Is One Of The Most Underrated Disney Movies

Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.

Why "Lilo And Stitch" Is One Of The Most Underrated Disney Movies
Disney.Wikia

"Lilo and Stitch" came out fourteen years ago this past June. It was one of my favorite movies when I was little, and it still is now that I'm eighteen. I love most Disney movies, but this is one of my favorites because it addresses real life issues. "Lilo and Stitch" is very often overshadowed by other Disney movies, which is why it is so underrated. If you've never seen "Lilo and Stitch," I highly recommend you watch it before it is taken off of Netflix on September 9th.

1. Lilo low key addressed the severity of cannibalism.

"If I gave Pudge tuna, I'd be an abomination!"

2 The movie didn't revolve around Nani and David's relationship.

Most Disney movies focus on the main character (usually a princess) finding her prince, but "Lilo and Stitch" is different. Nani wasn't waiting for a prince (David) to come rescue her from her problems. She was a strong independent Hawaiian woman that did not need a man.

3. It reminded us of what family really means.

If you've never heard the quote "Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind or forgotten," you've either been living under a rock for the past 14 years, or you're lying. Sometimes your family may be annoying or may not be easy to get along with, but your family is supposed to be there for you no matter what.

4. The title literally means lost and put back together.

5. It didn't set unrealistic body expectations.

In the words of my best friend, "Nani's waistline was anatomically realistic." Also, Lilo isn't exactly the tallest Disney character. She is short and sassy, which is why I relate to her.

6. It focused on real life problems.

"Lilo and Stitch" focuses on problems that many people can relate to. Last time I checked, not many people can relate to having to save your sister because you froze her heart, or becoming human after being a mermaid all your life. However, people can relate to losing a job, having a parent (or both) die, or facing the possibility of having your child/sibling go to a foster home.

If you are ever unsure of what to watch on Netflix, I highly recommend "Lilo and Stitch"

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
