I watched this movie on Disney +. (and in theaters as a kid)
Back when Disney still had heart and soul in their projects, this is one of the best. Since the live action movie was announced, I started watching the old Lilo and Stich series again and will watch all of that as it's just so good.
This movie is where it started, and it's a heart felt, funny, emotional roller-coaster of a wonderful story. About an alien, bred for destruction and chaos, finding family in the most unlikely of places. A dysfunctional family of a girl trying to raise her little sister.
Stitch works his way into their family as their "dog" to avoid being taken by the other aliens hunting him and slowly learns what it really means to be... part of a family. To have belonging and love, and to fight against one's flawed destructive nature to be a better person. And not to mention looking cute AF in the process.
Sadly I never owned the VHS or DVD of this as a kid, so I didn't get to do the repeat viewings I usually would have. But I can watch it any time I want now on Disney +. As well as it's sequels and various TV series that continue the story.
I just hope the live action remake lives at least partly up to this, I know it's out but I haven't seen it yet. And it's a shame that Disney started to go down hill sometime after this.
Mistake Status: I'd love to do this whole series at some point. Which includes this first movie, the direct to video Lilo and Stitch 2, the 3rd movie just called Stitch which is a pilot to the then following Lilo and Stitch TV series, then that is followed up and ended by Leroy and Stitch. And then there's two anime, one in Japan and one in China.
Lilo and Stitch is a delightful movie about a lonely little Hawaiian girl who loves Elvis and her family as well as a strange dog that becomes her best friend...the surly-yet-sweet blue alien experiment known as Stitch. The very odd couple try to avoid somewhat-mad scientist Jumba and his bizarre friend Pleakley was well as the menacing Captain Gantu with the help of her sister Nani and boyfriend David. Fun, mild violence and just plain crazy antics make this movie endearing for all! Watch.

Question: Does anybody know what "Meega Nala Queesta" means?
Answer: As stated, it means "I want to destroy." But it should be pointed out it's a made up language, "Tantalog." Tantalog is a mix of Hawaiian, Chinese, and Chezcreekian. It's also spelled "kweesta." And "nala" means "want to" or "evil."
Answer: Meega nala qweesta means I want to destroy.
Answer: The movie contains two languages one is English, and the other is Hawaiian. Meega translate to I or me, and Quessta translate to destroy. I don't know what Nala means, people are telling me it means no or want, so essentially "I want to destroy".
Or it could be I no destroy but since they hate peace so much, they basically hate him.
