Essay On Lilo And Stitch

“I’m the one they call when things go wrong, and things have indeed gone wrong.”
-Cobra Bubbles
I have chosen to interpret the movie, Lilo and Stitch. The movie wavers around the tale of a young girl named “Lilo”. Lilo has a close encounter with an extraterrestrial most wanted prisoner. The audience is soon brought to the realization that Lilo is a lonely Hawaiian girl who has lost her parents and is now being cared for by her older sister. Her sister wants Lilo to feel more “at home” so she decides to let her adopt a dog. The dog she chooses is the little blue alien she soon names “Stitch”. Through her faith, love, and energetic belief in ohana, which is the Hawaiian concept of family, Lilo helps surface Stitch’s heart and gives him the

ability to love. None of this comes easy with evil scientists, and a scary social worker on their backs.
Lilo is the main character we are touched by.

She is spirited and has a highly bizarre personality. She does not fit in with the other children in the movie. This is enlight of her parents’ death. Stitch is the blue alien “pet” of Lilo’s. Stitch is originally an illegal genetic experiment. He teaches Lilo that it is completely normal to be different. Nani is Lilo’s older sister and legal guardian. She is faced with the responsibility of caring for her younger sister after the death of her parents. She is usually faced with a great deal of stress. Cobra Bubbles is the social worker assigned to the case involving Lilo and Nani. Primarily, it seems that Agent Bubbles is going to take Lilo away from Nani after several terrible miss treatment circumstances. Cobra Bubbles is of course a tough man, but is mistaken of being evil. He is very calm and entirely caring. He is extremely stubborn as he stuck his ground with the decision that Lilo was not safe with her sister. While the movie progressed, so did Cobra Bubbles. His character was shown to have a huge impact on the family. He was not one to let his emotions get in the way of his work, although he seemed saddened when having to take Lilo away from Nani. In the beginning, he didn’t see Nani fit to care for Lilo but gave her three days to prove him

wrong.
I do agree with the social workers role in the movie. Cobra Bubbles was an innocent character just trying to give the best life to Lilo he thought was fit. Social workers like Cobra Bubbles try to give hope to people who feel helpless. We realize the family was hopeless. “We’re a broken family, aren’t we?” Lilo asks her sister after punching her friend in the face. Cobra Bubbles knew Lilo had just lost her Mother and Father in a tragic accident. Social workers try to keep families together rather than apart. We often overlook that when we think of social workers. They try to help their clients believe things will get better. Stitch wasn’t apart of Cobra Bubbles mission, but along the way he was helped. “This is my family, I found it all on my own. It’s little, and broken but still good.” Stitch explains while the evil aliens are taking him. Cobra Bubbles then reminds Lilo of her paperwork that stated she owned Stitch. This is Cobra Bubbles true turning point when I realized social workers truly bring families together. The way I see it, social workers are modern heroes.
The positive outcomes included Lilo and Nani growing closer to each other throughout the movie. When Lilo was taken, it somehow made Nani click into parent mode and mature. Another positive outcome was Cobra Bubbles character caring for Lilo and Nani. He explained to Nani that she needed to properly care for Lilo by providing the necessities she needs in life. Mr. Bubbles makes the first function apparent to the sisters that physical care and maintenance is top priority. He also shows them that together they have a family that may be broken, but is still a good functioning family. With a little work, anything can be possible. We soon learn Nani, Lilo, and Stitch grow to be a beautiful family. The negative factor was the continuous problems Stitch put Nani through. Stitch actually got Nani fired from her job because of a crazy incident. This caused more problems and made Mr. Bubbles concerned with Nani’s parenting abilities. If Stitch would have been disciplined sooner, this may have acted out different.
As a child, I had seen this movie before.

Looking at it present day, I can’t say I truly ever reached the full potential of this movie. This movie proves to people that being abnormal is completely acceptable, It also teaches children families are never perfect, they need to be worked at. The most important role this movie had to offer was the importance of Lilo’s role with her social worker. Often, children fear their social worker because they think they are present to tear families apart. This movie proves Lilo was aware Mr. Bubbles was trying to give her the best life she was deserving of. Mr. Bubbles was an overlooked character that shined out to me. He taught the family about values and the importance of caring for one another. Without him, the family would have simply been a broken train wreck. “Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left

behind.”
