typical pound puppy. He turns out to be a dangerous alien who
crashed on Earth while being transported to an intergalactic prison.
Named Stitch, the six-legged creature impersonates a dog to keep the
alien police off his trail. But it’s hard for Lilo’s family and her
Hawaiian neighbors not to notice that Stitch isn’t just an ordinary
