In a decade marked with underperforming box-office receipts and murky studio relationships, this was the Disney animated film that stood out as an uncontested hit. Lilo & Stitch was the anomaly of the early 2000s. Though still under the official banner of Walt Disney Animation Studios, the film was entirely created at Walt Disney World in Florida (as were 1998’s Mulan and 2003’s Brother Bear). Lilo & Stitch‘s existence even feels inherently misfit-ish, having been made at Disney’s satellite campus. True to some of their stylistic tropes (which would later be seen in DreamWorks’ How to Train Your Dragon in 2010), directors Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois craft the ultimate misfit story about two outcasts who find friendship in one another and together build a broken ‘ohana.

Here’s a breakdown of each movie, some things you may not know about their origins, and what I was surprised to remember. Now in my mid-20s, the summertime seemed an appropriate season to revisit some of those memories, so I recently viewed all four Lilo & Stitch films. His franchise was, at once and out of the blue, our everything. My brothers and I were in peak childhood when Stitch became a superstar.
