Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch is a direct-to-video animated film produced by DisneyToon Studios. The film is an interquel, being the direct sequel to the 2002 Disney feature film Lilo & Stitch and taking place before the events of Stitch! The Movie and subsequent additions to the franchise. Although originally slated for a theatrical release (like Return to Neverland), it was released to DVD and VHS on August 30, 2005. Like the original film, Lilo & Stitch 2 features the music of Elvis Presley and the original film's animation style.

[edit] Synopsis
Lilo and her classmates are preparing for a hula competition where the winner gets to perform at the local May Day festival. Each student is required to create an original dance. While preparing for the competition, Stitch's past comes back to haunt him. It seems that after Stitch was created, Jumba did not get a chance to fully charge Stitch's molecules before they were both arrested. At first this glitch causes Stitch to revert to his old destructive programming, but it will ultimately destroy him if Jumba cannot create a charging pod before Stitch's energy runs out.
Meanwhile, Stitch's uncontrollable destructive behavior is driving a wedge between him and Lilo and ruining her chances for success at the hula competition. Eventually, the two devise a hula based on the legend of Hi'iaka. Lilo gets mad at Stitch and he sends himself away so he won't hurt anyone he loves. Ultimately, Lilo forfeits the competition to help Stitch, and her love revives him when Jumba's machine cannot.
[edit] Continuity issues
The film seems to overlook the continuity established in the PlayStation 2 video game, Disney's Stitch: Experiment 626. In this game, set before the events of the first film, Stitch is apparently fully charged and wreaking havoc in outer space. This plot is also evident in the deleted scene entitled "Stitch's Trial" shown on the first Lilo & Stitch DVD.
The layout of the house has changed, but that's because Lilo and Stitch: the series was not created by Chris Sanders, it was created by Jess Winfield, who most likely did not know the layout they were giving it in Stitch has a Glitch.
There are several other inconsistencies in the film, including the hula girl Teresa being referred to as Aleka (although it could be her Hawaiian name).
Despite these differences, it appears that Disney has retconned Disney's Stitch: Experiment 626 and that Lilo & Stitch 2 stands in continuity, appearing after the first installment, and prior to Stitch! The Movie.

[edit] Trivia
- This is the only series film without actress Daveigh Chase who voices Lilo in all other Lilo & Stitch movies. According to Disney Animation Studios, because Chase was busy working on Lilo & Stitch: The Series she allowed her best friend, Fanning, to fill in. [citation needed]
- Despite always being labeled with the subtitle, "Stitch has a Glitch," this does not actually appear in the title card. However, a modified title card featuring it did show up in the preview for the film's Disney Channel airing.
