Lilo and Stitch

So, recently Netflix added one of my FAVORITE Disney movies: Lilo and Stitch. It's so simple, yet so sweet. I really never get tired of watching it. I've watched it three times this week, yet it's still so wonderful. I love the fact that it's not focussed on romance. Yeah, thats nice for a lot of movies, but sometimes you get tired of seeing boy meets girl kind of movies. This movie talks about friendship, something that means a lot more to people in general. Everyone can relate to a story about friendship: not everyone can relate to a story about romance. Don't get me wrong, I love a good romantic movie every once in a while, but it just gets old. And watching the friendship between Lilo and Stitch, who are both outcasts like me, really hits a chord in my heart. I really empathize with Lilo, so that's probably why I love this movie so much. I also love the fact that it takes place in Hawaii. I thought it was a really neat twist on a Disney movie. Most Disney movies take place in fanciful forests or magical places of the sort. This is just such a real place for it to take place in, and I like that.

I'm also not sure if this is true, but I'm just going to tell you a theory I heard about Lilo and Stitch. In the beginning, Lilo is swimming in the ocean, feeding a peanut butter sandwich to Pudge the fish, who controls the weather. It has been theorized that Pudge the fish represents an old Hawaiin legend about a God that controls the weather, and because Lilo's parents died in a car crash because of bad weather, she feeds Pudge the fish every Thursday to make sure nothing will ever happen between her and Nani. It makes a lot of sense, and really warms my heart to think if this is true. Just some food for thought.
