About The Movie
With all 625 evil experiments having been caught and
rehabilitated, at the start of Leroy, the Galaxy's ruling Federation calls a congregation with four individuals at
the foreground: once-outcast orphaned young Hawaiian girl Lilo (voiced again by Chase), the partially-domesticated, partially-intelligible
Stitch (Sanders), the massive, accented, four-eyed Jumba (Disney's go-to guy David Ogden Stiers), and the three-legged, two-tongued,
one-eyed beanpole agent Wendy Pleakley (Kevin McDonald). The four friends are each honored: Lilo is made ambassador to Earth,
Jumba is given the key to his old long-closed laboratory, Pleakley is offered an Earth expert position at the Galactic Alliance
Community College, and Stitch becomes Captain of the Galactic Armada and the proud new owner of a BRB (Big Red Battleship).
All seems right, until the gang realizes that accepting
their awards would require a parting of ways. So, Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley reluctantly return to the island of Kauai and
the now-ordinary existence it offers. After a series worth of Hawaiian episodes, you might hope for something different, in
which case your wish is granted when Lilo decides that her three out-of-this-world buddies should split up and blaze their
own trails. Unfortunately, the intergalactic treats promised turn out to be not so treasurable without companionship, but
before we can get a moral and the umpteenth invocation of "ohana" (in the unlikely case that you've either forgotten or are
choosing this review as your introduction to all things Stitch, "'ohana' means family and family means nobody gets left behind
or forgotten"), chaos breaks out.
This chaos can be traced directly to the malicious
red-eyed rodent-esque alien Dr. Hämsterviel, who, upon escaping prison, "forcibly forces" Jumba to make an evil new creation.
This experiment is, more or less, a red and evil version of Stitch, who Hämsterviel dubs Leroy. The petite doctor expects
Leroy to help undo all the good that Lilo and Stitch have done. He sends Leroy out to oust Stitch as captain of the BRB and
capture the hundreds of reformed evil experiments now roaming about Hawaii. (The latter is depicted in an inspired montage
set to the "Hawaii Five-O" theme.) To seal the deal, Hämsterviel creates an army of Leroy clones. Needless to say, it's up
to the good guys to save the day. In addition to Jumba, Pleakley, Stitch and his various colorful cousins, Lilo gets special
help from the sandwich-loving Experiment 625, to whom she finally gives a name (Reuben).
