Even with the common misguided write off that it's "for kids" (as if they can't appreciate a good narrative).

Man, I hate that notion. It's no excuse. Plenty of Kids movies can hit just as hard as any other movie. There's a damn good reason why Lilo & Stitch is my favourite Disney movie, and it isn't just because of wacky alien hijinks, it's because it's a relatively realistic depiction of the issues families can face with child services.

That movie's great! I wanna watch it again now.

A kids film doesn't even have to be deep to be good. My favourite animated film is Megamind - the plot isn't anything deep or meaningful, but it keeps you entertained and guessing all the way through.

It's a wonderful film. Got my niece into it so when my mom and I went to Hawaii recently we had to tell her Stitch was on holiday to stop her asking to join. But it does have a really nice message about made family. 

And I found out recently there's a manga where Stitch lands in fuedal Japan and I need to read that.

One thing I didn't expect to come out of this movie was the Luna becoming a nihilistic meme on Spanish* Instagram. Seen a few just browsing but here's an example I could find again.

(My Spanish is basic but it's something like "happy birthday friend. Another year older, another year closer to death")

*Not sure whether it's a specific Spanish-speaking country

Watched this at the cinema today, much better than I thought it was going to be. My eyes dotting all over the place for all the lil tributes/homages etc.

I think it's the music that made this for me* and will probably invest legally in the OST.

 

 

*Not that dogshit Peaches stuff though

Has anyone heard when this is likely to drop on any of the streaming services without having to buy or rent it, in the UK?

I haven't yet found anything beyond paying for it on Prime.

If you have Sky, buy it digitally with the blu-ray, then take the blu-ray down to CEX
