🟨 Bath Bombs and Bad Ideas

🎥 Let’s Start by Showing Y’all the Trailers, Shall We?

🧠 So What’s the Plot Rundown?

Time to review this third film in the franchise… or is it the sequel?

Because this film released before Lilo & Stitch 2. So… is it a sequel? A prequel? A midquel? I don’t even know. Disney’s timeline is confusing.

Well in this film, Jumba gets kidnapped by Captain Gantu, who’s now working with Jumba’s original partner named Dr. Hämsterviel—who is a literal hamster alien.

What does he want from Jumba?
Easy: he wants his experiments back.

Turns out Jumba has made 626 total experiments—yeah, makes sense because Stitch is Experiment 626. So he’s got 625 more experiments?

Yikes.

And they’re all condensed into these little pong balls inside a machine of his.

So Jumba is captured, and now the gang has the 625 experiments.

🛁 Bathtub Science and Sandwich Disappointment

Lilo and Stitch decide to release one of the experiments in their bathtub (that’s how you wake them up) to go save Jumba, even though Pleakley has said it’s dangerous.

Wow, I can’t see anything going wrong.

While they wait, Agent Cobra Bubbles is contacted—Hämsterviel wants to do a trade for the experiments.

So they’re waiting for his call like this is a customer service hold line.

Oh—and Gantu and Hämsterviel go and wake up one of the experiments.

Gantu grabs a small ball labeled #625. It broke loose out of the machine.

So they plop it in water, and out comes an experiment.

Unfortunately for them, this experiment is lazy and likes to only make sandwiches.

Oh the cruel irony.

⚡ Will They Save Jumba? Will They Find the Lightning Alien?

So here’s the big question dump:

Will the gang be able to save Jumba?
Will Lilo and Stitch be able to locate the experiment who escaped when they released it (which is this lightning-powered experiment)?
Will they stop Dr. Hämsterviel and Gantu?

All will be revealed in the spoilers.

🚨 Spoilers: The Third Act

Time to spoil the third act and any revelations.

So after finding the lightning-powered experiment, they train him.

And they team up with Stitch, Statler—uhh wait—Pleakley and Bubbles, who are awaiting Dr. Hämsterviel at the cliff near the lighthouse to exchange Jumba for the experiment.

As soon as the exchange happens, both Lilo and Stitch jump onto Hämsterviel’s ship.

Stitch gets captured and tied to a chair where he’s about to be lasered in half, while Lilo is put into a tube where Dr. Hämsterviel will use a machine to disintegrate her.

Well this got dark.

So Zappy McZap Zap shows up and says “COUSSSSSINNNN” and saves Stitch by frying the circuits.

Then they tie up Dr. Hämsterviel.

Then they go save Lilo.

They eject Gantu’s ship from the main ship by electrocuting the circuits that connect it.

So Gantu—along with Experiment 625—crash lands back onto Hawaii.

Even though they have a rough landing, they somehow land upwards.

625 offers Gantu a sandwich.
But like always, he doesn’t want a sandwich.

🔌 Now What?

Dr. Hämsterviel gets taken away to prison.

Zappy McZap Zap is given a job to power up the lighthouse.

Because that makes sense?

Lilo and Stitch offer to go find the other 624 experiments who’ve been scattered all around the island and give each of them a job.

The councilwoman agrees to this and sends them out to do the mission.

Which leads us to the TV series… which I’ve never watched.

🟨 Final Thoughts

The end.

Anyways—hope y’all enjoyed this review.
Till next time.
