Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch

Lilo is a warm, determined girl who dreams big for the May Day hula. She draws strength from her family and from memories of her mother, using that inspiration to push herself and Stitch. When Stitch’s seizures disrupt practice, she initially doubts him, risking their bond. She ultimately recognizes Stitch’s condition, apologizes, and reaffirms her love and commitment to him.

Stitch is an endearing, mischievous creature struggling with a defective charging process. His seizures threaten both his life and Lilo’s plans, fueling a fear that he might hurt her. He fights to control his impulses and protect Lilo, feeling guilt when accidents occur. In the end, Stitch’s bond with Lilo endures as he’s revived and accepted by the family.

Jumba is the brilliant, sometimes overbearing creator behind Stitch. As the clock ticks, he works on a charging device, improvising with household objects due to limited resources. He communicates the life-or-death stakes of completing Stitch’s charge in time and helps guide the team through the crisis.

Nani is Lilo’s protective older sister who keeps the family together while juggling her own life. She supports Lilo’s hula dream but must balance family needs while David is in her life. Her steady presence helps the family endure the mounting pressures from Stitch’s condition.

David is a caring friend who balances loyalty to Nani with his role in the Pelekai family. He offers support during the crisis and worries about Nani’s relationship, contributing to the family’s emotional landscape. His presence reinforces the theme of chosen family and shared responsibility.

Pleakley tries to repair the growing rift between Nani and David, offering comedic relief while also playing a mediator role. He participates in the family’s chaotic life with a mix of humor and unexpected wisdom. His actions reflect the film’s lighter side amid the crisis.

Mertle serves as a school rival who challenges Lilo, remarking on her mother’s legacy and pushing Lilo to prove herself. The rivalry heightens the stakes of the festival and tests Lilo’s resolve. Her actions reflect the social pressure young students feel during competitions.
