Goofs:

Continuity: When Pleakley and Jumba join Lilo and the others in the room, Pleakley first has on a black sandal and a white high heel. The sandal changes into another white high heel when we next see him. Yet nowhere do we see Pleakley remove the sandal. Nor is it in the room - it has disappeared entirely.

Quotes:

Stitch: [Lilo's finger is about a few inches away from Stitch] You're touching me!
Lilo: I'm not touching you.
Stitch: AAGH! YOU'RE TOUCHING ME!

For DTV pretty good

I watched this having not seen the original I am unable to compare them. But for a straight to video Disney sequel the standard I did not find to be that bad. It was reasonably well animated and had a descent cast (I am not sure how many of them where in the original). It is a typical children's movie theme of morality but an unusual story to put the message across. We have the often mined theme of a parentless child finding friendship with another being (in this case Lilo with Stitch), but an unusual story to show it where Stitch has a glitch in his molecular make-up that is threatening to turn him evil. The admittedly short movie moves along at a good pace all coming to the inevitable conclusion but in a pleasant enough way. I enjoyed it and would certainly watch it again, but it would be better watched with children.
