It's a bright, engaging bauble with half a dozen Elvis Presley songs for Mom and Dad, and just enough sass -- Stitch sticks his tongue into his nose and eats his snot -- to keep the tweeners giggling.
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

Regrettably, towards the end the film veers off into a mess of weird aliens and Cartoon Network silliness.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Fresh
Disney's most winning animated couple since Bambi and Thumper.
Paul Malcolm, L.A. Weekly
Fresh
An entertaining and (three cheers) modest bauble that eschews most of the blockbuster trappings that have been strangling animated features in the past few years.
