Original film | Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch | Stitch! The Movie | Lilo & Stitch: The Series | Leroy & Stitch | Stitch! anime
These are Funny Moments found in the 2003 direct-to-video animated Pilot Movie to Lilo & Stitch: The Series, Stitch! The Movie.
- The teaser: It opens with sinister-sounding music with Gantu's new ship docking with Hämsterviel's ship... which turns out to be a giant hamster wheel propelled by a hamster's drinking tubes.
- Another one happens when Hämsterviel asks Gantu to take a seat. Too bad the seat in question is small enough to stick on his butt when he stands up.
- The rest of the movie kicks off at a Luau that the Pelekai ʻohana all attend. Jumba and Pleakley show up wearing period beach clothes.
- This exchange:Lilo: Today, you'll take your rightful place as part of the Hawaiian community. Are you ready?
Stitch: Hajibah! (he shows up in a hula skirt, grass hat, and sunglasses)
Lilo: You don't need to play dress up. Just be yourself!
(Stitch extends his lower pair of arms, antennae, and spines, appearing in his true alien form.)
Stitch: Hiii.
Lilo: ... Maybe not that much yourself.
(Stitch retracts his lower arms, antennae, and spines to appear as a "dog" again.) - When Stitch feels bad about himself for ruining the luau and being too different from the locals, saying "I'm freaky," Lilo tries to cheer him up by saying he's "one of kind, like... Frankenstein." This doesn't help Stitch at all. He dumps his face into the bowl of ice cream that she brought up, and the sad reused Silvestri score just stops there.
- Several of Hämsterviel's insults, but especially this hilariously ironic one:(To Jumba) "You with your four eyes and inexplicable accent!"
- Also this:
Hämsterviel (to Grand Councilwoman): You absurd Grand Councillywoman with your large pointy collar!
Grand Councilwoman (unamused): Prepare to fire.
(the Councilwoman's ship rolls out a pair of enormous BFGs. Hämsterviel Screams Like a Little Girl) - In an attempt to find Jumba, Pleakley pulls out his intergalactic phonebook and attempts to call every number in the known universe. One at a time. Insanely, this actually works.
- There's also a hilarious payoff to this — Pleakley manages to call the number to Gantu's detention cell, where Jumba is locked up tight in bindings that leave him unable to move anything but his head. We see Jumba looking at the phone, which is way across the cell — then we cut to Pleakley as Jumba responds to Pleakley — then we cut to Jumba, who somehow has the phone under his ear despite having no possible means of getting to it.
- There's also the fact that Pleakley manages to find the pun in the listing of "Detention Cell", and still finds it as Actually Pretty Funny.

- Upon hearing the doorbell ring, Pleakley assumes it's the pizza guy and answers the door, only to find Gantu. The amusing part comes from the fact that he simply stands there as Pleakley opens the door, sees him, exclaims his name, shuts the door, and closes the shade. Immediately after all that, Gantu rings the doorbell again.
- As Gantu attacks Lilo's house, he peeks through the window and sees a crude drawing of himself labeled "big dummy".
- While Pleakley closes the experiments’ container and explains to Lilo how the pods will activate (by hydration), he ends up with a finger stuck in the container.
- This exchange after Sparky gets away.Stitch: Cousin lost! Jumba lost...
Lilo: You have a lot of lost issues...
Stitch: Ih. (flatly bonks his head against a wall) - While he and Lilo are out looking for Sparky, Stitch climbs up a tree and turns his eyes to night vision — with which he manages to make out what looks like Sparky way off in the distance. Naturally, he takes off running off-screen after him without telling Lilo where he's going, leading to this:Lilo: Hmm... maybe he went this way! (walks off-screen in the complete opposite direction)
(Stitch runs back onscreen after Lilo, then appears a second later grumbling and dragging her along with him.)
Lilo: Hey! - The Peter Gunn parody (complete with the original theme music) when Lilo and Stitch take Cobra Bubbles' car for a spin around the island to look for 221. That includes:
- Lilo stunning Mertle and her posse when Stitch stops the car next to them at an intersection.
- Stitch interviewing a frog for information.
- Stopping at the beach for a moment to have Lilo take a picture of Stitch posing next to an overweight tourist.
- Drinking coffee and eating doughnuts at the coffee shop, with Stitch drinking a whole coffee pot in one gulp.
- The ship computer on Hamsterviel's ship that gives warnings a few seconds too late.Gantu: The window's open!
Computer: Warning: window is open.
(Gantu scowls) - Stitch and Experiment 221 spend a bit of alone time together just after the latter's capture. Their bonding includes ear movements, the reveal of their extra arms... and picking their noses with their tongues.
- Stitch tries to rescue Lilo while Lilo is being prepared to be teleported elsewhere, and it's a tense scene, complete with the teleportation vortex already swirling inside of the containment glass as Stitch works furiously to disassemble it and free her. He fails. Stitch laments the loss, only for Lilo to call out to him from the next transporter over. Mood Whiplash kicks in, as Stitch is more exasperated than anything.Lilo: Stitch? I'm in this one.
Stitch: *half-relieved, half-exasperated* Oh... oh. Nigiba.
Computer: Baloney order sent. Sending little girl in ten seconds. - During the space flight, Stitch decides to pilot by standing on the controls for a bit, leading Lilo to ask if he had coffee today.Stitch: Coconut cake and coffee!
- Lilo telling Nani that she went to outer space in Jumba's ship. Nani is naturally shocked, but when she interrupts Lilo's story by asking her about that fact, Lilo gets annoyed at her for interrupting her story. Only Lilo Pelekai could treat a human being's first flight to outer space in an alien spacecraft so casually.Nani: Wa-wa-wait. While David and I went out to dinner, you went to outer space?
Lilo: (Beat, then she crosses her arms) I'm not finished.
Nani: (rolls eyes) Sorry.- Additionally, from Lilo's viewpoint, Nani shouldn't be so shocked at Lilo's trip to space considering that they knowingly live with space-faring aliens.
