Elvis, Hawaii, Lilo and Stitch, you can't go wrong.

Disney has given us another fun animated film that will have kids running back to the theater again and again.

"Lilo and Stitch" is a touching tale about a little girl who is dealing with the loss of her parents in a car accident and an alien who is a long way from home.

Lilo, a Hawaiian girl lives with her older sister as they try to create a life for themselves without parents. She is having trouble dealing with the loss and strikes out in anger and violence against others. She just wants to be loved and be able to love back.

Her sister Nani is trying what she can to raise her sister and keep a job and pay bills.

Stitch is a genetically engineered killing machine from another planet. Sticth gets a hold of a spaceship and crash lands on Hawaii and learns how to survive.

Lilo ends up adopting Stitch as her dog and the movie takes off with a story of Ohana, which means Family.

This movie is filled with Elvis tunes beacuse Lilo is a huge fan, it also has some Hawaiian music that in addition to the Elvis songs makes the soundtrack one to behold.

There are many laughs in the film, my kids loved this movie and want to see it again.

I will have no problem going to see "Lilo and Stitch" with my Ohana again.

This should bring back cell animation and make sure that the conversion to computer generated animation is still a ways down the road.
