| Lilo
is a peculiar 5 year old Hawaiian girl. She is obsessed about
taking care of downtrodden
animals (she collects cans and bottles to recycle from the beach,
and buys fish food
with the money she makes, then paddles out in the ocean to feed
the fish there). On a
distant planet, alien authorities have captured the most dangerous
of all criminals,
Stitch, and are sending him via rocket to a prison planet. He's a
tiny little thing,
with 6 legs, and looks a bit like a dog. The rocket crash lands on
Earth, Stich escapes, and ends up in an animal shelter. He's a
brilliant manipulator, so he figures out that
if he can pass for a dog and get adopted, then the alien police
dudes will have trouble
finding him. Lilo sees him and, since he's obviously the most
unusual and needy of all the dogs, she takes him home. He tucks
two of his legs up under his fur so he looks
more dog-like to her. While the aliens try to find him, he hangs
out with Lilo during
her funky little adventures.
This is the second feature
to be produced primarily at Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida.
The Style of the movie will be more cartoony, similar to the
animation style of the old Disney
animator Freddie Moore. The movie won't be a musical, but they're
going to try to buy the rights to a couple of Elvis
songs, because Lilo likes to hula dance on the beach to Elvis
music. |
