Smart, poignant, and utterly beguiling.
It's a bright, engaging bauble with half a dozen Elvis Presley songs for Mom and Dad, and just enough sass -- Stitch sticks his tongue into his nose and eats his snot -- to keep the tweeners giggling.
An entertaining and (three cheers) modest bauble that eschews most of the blockbuster trappings that have been strangling animated features in the past few years.
[A] crushing disappointment.
Mostly the film is just hectic and homiletic: two parts exhausting Men in Black mayhem to one part family values.
The best thing about the movie is the humor.
Cute story, great characters, fabulous soundtrack.
It is the sweetest Disney movie of its generation; but the lengthy beginning and somewhat shorter climax drag it down at the worst possible points.
This is a very disappointing effort from Disney.
...an affable but hopelessly uneven fantasy...
It's offbeat, action-packed, and it has a heart as big as a Hawaiian welcome. And in keeping with the Disney philosophy, the style of drawing has its own distinctive look.
It's funny, it's sad and, frankly, it's a bit weird.
Regrettably, towards the end the film veers off into a mess of weird aliens and Cartoon Network silliness.
Easily one of the strangest products to ever emerge from the Disney animation pipeline.
The movie does manage to tug at your heartstrings with its themes of loneliness and finding a place to fit in, but it does it without ever rising too high on the sap-o-meter.
Similar to most contemporary American feature-length animation, the film's overall structure is frayed.
... it unapologetically affirms that love can make good things happen in a broken family.
This one's for all the lost sheep and ugly ducklings out there . . . a quirky nature vs. nurture experiment where nurture wins out and even the oddest duck finds a family
A raucous comedy/adventure [and] easily one of the strangest products to ever emerge from the Disney animation pipeline.
Putting aside the Pixar computer animated offerings, this is the best Disney animation in nearly a decade.
Make sure your kids don't get too much sugar in the cinema - the house mightn't be up to the mayhem when they get out.
