52 Thoughts About "Lilo & Stitch" During Its 20th Anniversary

Not to make anyone feel old, but Lilo & Stitch came out 20 years ago.

I was 15 when it came out (because I'm old) and never got around to watching it (because I was ~too old~ for cartoons), but have always heard it was very good.

The anniversary had me curious, though, so I decided to finally check it out. Here are all the thoughts I had while watching:

1.I love when the production logo matches the movie.

2.Monstrosity feels like a strong word...

Gantu asking what is that monstrosity in Lilo and Stitch
Disney

3.626 kind of sounds like Stitch if you say it super fast? Is that how he gets his name?

4.Why would you create something that's supposed to destroy literally everything?

Jumba saying His only instinct: to destroy everything he touches.
Disney

5.Okay, what does "meega, nala kweesta" mean, because these aliens look scandalized...

6."It is the flawed product of a deranged mind" lol same

7.Why does this mean alien shark sound so familiar?

(Upon inspecting the actor's IMDb it's because he's voiced approximately 8,000 cartoon characters.)

8.Piglet??

11.Again, why do evil scientists always create monsters that are "unstoppable" or undefeatable? Do they really think they're immune from that?

Jumba saying I designed this creature to be unstoppable.

Nani saying to Lilo I need you to stay here for a few minutes. I’m gonna be right back. Lock the door and don’t answer it for anyone.

Lilo's on the verge of being taken away from you and you leave her home alone?? When you know Mr. Bubbles is always lurking??
