[edit] Plot

Continuing where Stitch! The Movie left off, Lilo and Stitch are given the task of finding Jumba's 625 other experiments, changing them from bad to good, and finding the one place (on Earth or otherwise) where they truly belong. Meanwhile, the former Captain Gantu and his reluctant partner, experiment 625, try to capture these same experiments for the imprisoned Dr. Hämsterviel.

Running two seasons for a total of 65 episodes, the series (and the franchise) ends with the direct-to-DVD movie Leroy & Stitch.

[edit] Featured

[edit] Recurring

  • David Kawena (voiced by Jason Scott Lee and Dee Bradley Baker) - Nani's boyfriend. David is a great surfer. Like Nani, he also has trouble finding employment. He is also the only one of the four humans (the other three being Victoria, Mertle and Cobra Bubbles) aside from Lilo's family who is aware of the aliens and experiments.
  • Yuki, Elena and Teresa - Mertle's possé consists of Yuki (voiced by Lili Ishida), Elena (voiced by Jillian Henry) and Teresa (voiced by Kali Whitehurst). They usually travel in a group and seldom say anything other than a sarcastic "Yeah!" in unison when agreeing with Mertle on something. They actually would like Lilo if Mertle didn't make them think they didn't.
  • Grand Councilwoman (voiced by Zoe Caldwell) - the leader of the Galaxy's ruling Federation, she is the one who banished Stitch in the first movie. She later agrees to let Lilo and Stitch become official experiment hunters in order to retrieve all of the remaining experiments.
  • Keoni Jameson (voiced by Shaun Fleming) - Keoni is a young, laid back boy who Lilo has a crush on. Lilo constantly tries to vie for his affections. He had a crush on Pleakley, whom he knows as Lilo's 'aunt', in the episode "Hunkahunka", but in "Nosy" he stated that he only had the crush for that one week. His father owns several business on Kauai. He has a friend who just happens to be a girl (not a girlfriend, though). This friend is first shown in "Hunkahunka" and later seen in "Morpholemew".
  • Mr. Jameson - Mr. Jameson is the father of Keoni and, on several occasions, Nani's employer. He owns several businesses around Kauai, including the Birds of Paradise Hotel.
  • Moses (voiced by Kunewa Mook) - the hula teacher of Lilo's school and there he teaches Lilo, Victoria, Mertle, Yuki, Elena and Teresa how to hula. He is very patient with his students and tolerates their antics. The word Lilo and friends also call Moses is Kumu, meaning teacher in Hawaiian.
  • Victoria (voiced by Daveigh Chase and Alyson Stoner) - Lilo's new friend, whom she meets in the episode "Swapper". Throughout the episode, Lilo tries to prove to her she wasn't weird but in the end, Victoria reveals she likes weird stuff so she and Lilo become friends. Victoria is also in Lilo's Hula Class and owns Snooty (Experiment 277) as a pet. She appears in the episodes "Swapper", "Snooty," Slick", "Remmy" ,and "Wishy-Washy".It's odd that she only appears in 5 episodes, because Swapper was released from his pod early in the second season.
  • Mrs. Hasagawa (voiced by Amy Hill) - The little old lady who owns the fruit stand. She occasionally appears in episodes. She is short, has glasses, and grey hair. In episode #220-Mrs. Hasagawa's Cats, she keeps many experiments, thinking that they are cats. It is not known if she, being the caretaker of several alien lifeforms, is under the official protection of the United Galactic Federation as Lilo and Nani are. The experiments are: 002-Doubledip, 031-Gotchu, 044-Forehead, 051-Hocker, 077-Zawp, 111-Mulch, 134-Shredder, 214-Pix, 288-Boomer, 358-Manners, 507-Woody, 521-Wrapper, 533-Blowhard, and 566-Derrick. In the episode with "Checkers" (#207), she is called a troublemaker. A Mrs. Hasagawa quote: "But you know what they say about happiness - it's like the Parubian Monkey flu... very contagious!" Stitch mispronounces her name as "Missus Hasagasawa." In the crossover with American Dragon Lao Shi falls in love with her.
  • Sunburned Ice Cream Tourist: This is a running gag throughout the Lilo & Stitch franchise. Whenever he appears, The Sunburned Ice Cream Tourist drops his ice cream (presumably a mint-flavored ice cream from its color) from its cone before he can finish it. The Sunburned Ice Cream Tourist never has a spoken part in the series except "Whoa!" when he tripped on the pod and when he said "Whaaaaa" after suffering from 151( babyfier)'s effects.

The show has also had crossovers episodes with other Disney Cartoons: Kim Possible, The Proud Family, Recess, and American Dragon: Jake Long. But they didn't bother about the different animation and different amount of realisticness/unrealisticness. "Weird Al" Yankovic also made a cameo appearance in the episode "Clip". [citation needed]

[edit] Awards

  • The episode "Remmy" was voted the winner of Disney Channel's "Click it to Pick it" Asia.
  • The episode "Angel" was voted best Lilo and Stitch episode. [citation needed]

[edit] Trivia

  • Lilo & Stitch: The Series was originally going to be named just "Stitch! The Series" This was later changed, resulting in the mismatched title of Stitch! The Movie.
