Lilo & Stitch (Disney film): Difference between revisions

Line 40:
* [[Blatant Lies]]: During Jumba's trial when he denies creating new lifeforms. --> "I would ''never'' '''ever'''" (Stitch is presented as evidence) "[[Foreshadowing|...make more than one!]]"
* [[Bluffing the Advance Scout]]: {{spoiler|At the end it's revealed that Cobra did this.}}
{{quote|{{spoiler|"Saved the planet once: convinced an alien race that mosquitosmosquitoes were an endangered species."}}}}
* [[Blunt Yes]]
{{quote|'''Jumba:''' After all you put me through, you expect me to ''help'' you, just like that?! ''Just like that?!''
'''Stitch:''' Ih. [[(Yes.]])
''<nowiknowiki>[</nowiki>[[Beat]]]''
'''Jumba:''' Fine!
'''Pleakley:''' "Fine?" You're doing what he says?!
Line 92:
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: Jumba does not appreciate being called an "idiot scientist".
{{quote|I prefer to be called '''evil genius!'''}}
* [[Inspector Javert]]: Captain Gantu, the closest thing to a villain in the story, who is initially only trying to recapture a dangerous, escaped experiment. A mixture of his callous tactics (he knows he's captured Lilo in the same container as Stitch and implies that he faleslyfalsely believes that Stitch might eat her, yet he leaves her in there anyway) and the Galactic Federation's [[You Have Failed Me|zero tolerance for failure]] causes him to be court martialed, after which he spends the animated series as an actual villain before being reinstated.
* [[Logo Joke]]: The Disney castle is supposedly abducted by a flying saucer.
* [[Loud Gulp]]: Pleakley gives a very visible gulp after dodging a door-piercing [[Improvised Weapon]] thrown by Jumba (who was aiming at Stitch but missed).
Line 112:
* [[Only Six Faces]]: All Hawaiian girls look alike. Most noticeably in the dance scene during the opening credits, where if you watch carefully, you'll notice one and the same girl is used for other dancers.
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Agent Pleakley. See [[Wholesome Crossdressing]] below.
* [[Pardon My Klingon]]: The line "Meega nala kweesta" is an alien insult so vile that it makes ''mechanical'' species throw up in horror. Naturally, Stitch uses it once or twice throughout the movie and its spinoffs.
** It's been established that the phrase actually translates into "I will destroy" or "I'm going to destroy" (contrast with "Meega naga kweesta/kreesta" - "I will not destroy"), which doesn't seem bad enough to provoke that kind of reaction. Granted, the phrase was used so much in a humorous context in promotional material that its meaning was likely an added afterthought for the spinoffs. Or they didn't think anyone would bother translating it in the movie.
** During the fight with Jumba Stitch says something in the alien language and Jumba tells him to leave his mother out of it.
Line 128:
* [[Scary Black Man]]: Cobra Bubbles, who is voiced by none other than [[Pulp Fiction|Ving Rhames]].
** Played with. At first, he looks ''very'' imposing and acts rather uncaring. However later on, he shows himself to be a lot more than that. He does indeed want Lilo to be safe, but he doesn't want to split Lilo and Nani up because they're all they have in the world, mentioning he'll take Lilo away only because he ''has'' to. {{spoiler|The end credits show him hanging out with them, watching movies and having Thanksgiving dinner}}.
* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: It's said that Stitch can't survive in water since "his molecular density is too great". This would mean simply that he has a higher density than water--I.E, even if he were, for example, to hold his breath, he would not be able to displace enough water to increase his buoyancy enough and he'd still be too dense to ''swim''. In laymenlayman's terms: he sinks like a rock and can't swim.
* [[Shout-Out]]: When Stitch rips up a drawing of Lilo's, she exclaims, [[Pablo Picasso|"No! That's from my blue period!"]]
** Many of the background aliens have designs based on [[Winnie the Pooh]] characters. The alien who says "He's loose on deck C" appears to be modelledmodeled after Roo, The alien who calculates where Stitch will land is clearly modelledmodeled after Piglet.
** [[Mulan]] Wok. Also, there is a Mulan poster hanging on Nani's wall.
** In Lilo's room, on the shelf on her easel there's a small [[Dumbo]] doll.
