That IS great, but we’ve had a lot of this before. I wish people wouldn’t ignore the older movies, especially the classics, to praise the new ones-
Girls who had to work hard for something and succeeded:
Parental abuse:
Labels don’t define you:
Overcoming depression:
Learning to trust:
Diverse cast and shows science is exciting:
Probably far more than that, but that’s just a few off the top of my head.
Then there is Lilo and Sitch which covers:
-The value of family, as well as the message that you can make your own family and that family is as valuable as the one you are born with
-Overcoming labels slapped on you by others and that you can make your own path (Stitch is labeled a monster at the start and by the end, he has overcome some of his programming and is a productive member of society)
-Determination can lead to success
-Arguably overcoming depression, since Lilo does start off as a very sad little girl and gets better over the course of the movie
-The main cast is non white, either Hawaiian or Samoan
-Accepting the differences in others (the humans and aliens grow to work together)
-There is not a big romantic plot at all, since the movie is more focused on the bonds and love of a family.
lilo and stitch is just the best movie ever
Let’s not forget Pleakley dressed as a woman and no one said anything. He was accepted for who he was
