I watched this on Disney +.
This is the 3rd film in the series, (even if made 2nd) but functions more as a pilot to the TV series. Here we are introduced to the idea that if Stitch is Experiment 626... well where's the other 625 experiments?
Stitch has his family now, his "ʻohana", but still feels lonely as the only one of his kind. Longing to have cousins and siblings, the other experiments are discovered in dehydrated form as balls, that if they get wet they revive and each have their own specific powers and abilities and personality. A new space threat Dr. Jacques von Hämsterviel, wants the experiments for himself to make an army and will stop at nothing to get them. The movie becomes a battle to track down a couple of the missing balls and keep the others safe from Hämsterviel.
with in the end, the rest of the experiments are scattered allllll over Hawaii. This of course, leads into the Lilo and Stitch TV series which is about the named duo tracking down Stitches other cousins as they pop up all over the island and give them family and purpose.
(as of writing this review, I'm only 4 episodes into the show. August 2025.)
Mistake Status: Absolutely plan to do this whole franchise at some point.
