* {{Feelies}}: The original DVD release came with a small "Experiment Tracker" poster for fans to use to look out for experiments in this movie and throughout (at least the first season of) ''The Series''.

* RunningGag: Later in the movie, there's a recurring gag where one character will mention that there are 625 experiments to find, only for another to correct them that there are ''623'' experiments (since 221 and 625 were already released).

* [[ShockAndAwe Sparky (X-221)]]: More or less the MonsterOfTheWeek if this was just a regular episode. He is a yellow gecko/monkey/Eastern dragon-like experiment with electrical powers who causes electrical outages. He is the first experiment we see activated in the film and becomes the first one to be tamed, named, and given a one place where he truly belongs, in which case it's powering the beacon in the lighthouse (Kīlauea Light). He becomes a regular recurring experiment throughout ''The Series'' and [[Franchise/LiloAndStitch the franchise]] overall.

* PretenderDiss: Hamsterviel accuses Jumba of stealing his evil genius experiments. Jumba responds blithely that he can take credit for the ''evil'' part, since Hamsterviel paid for them, but since Jumba made the experiments, the ''genius'' is exclusively his.

* MirrorRoutine: Stitch and Sparky's first time bonding has the latter mimicking the former's actions, which include lowering and raising their ears, extending their lower pair of arms, and picking their noses with their tongues. This causes Stitch to happily see Sparky as a cousin for the first time.



* SeriesContinuityError: A retroactive one caused by ''Lilo & Stitch 2''; Pleakley mentions at the beginning of the film that this is his first time visiting the beach, and David says to Nani that Lilo (when she's out in space with Stitch) was probably hanging out with her new friends (the aliens). ''Lilo & Stitch'' shows that the intergalactic ''[='=]ohana''--including David--have already spent some time together, so Jumba, Pleakley and Stitch wouldn't be "new" friends to her by then, and that Pleakley has already visited the beach (with David in a very failed attempt to make Nani jealous).

* BriarPatching: Jumba does this as he hangs upside-down in Gantu's detention cell. When Gantu shows Experiment 625's pod, Jumba says that 625 has all the powers of 626 (Stitch), motivating Hämsterviel to have Gantu activate 625 and let the experiment torture Jumba. Of course, much to their dismay, 625 has no motivation for torturing anyone.

* ChainsawGood: A non-violent example: Stitch's idea of the best way of cutting a pineapple is by cutting it with a chainsaw. {{Subverted|Trope}} in that he scares Moses and all the partygoers and ends up cutting the picnic table in the process, basically ruining everything for them and himself.

** "Meega, nala kweesta!" is once again used as an incredibly offensive insult -- this time ''to'' Stitch, who seems just about as shocked as the Grand Councilwoman was when she heard it.

A small edit.


* ArtifactTitle: As a result of production issues. The movie was originally going to be titled ''Lilo & Stitch: A New Ohana'', but then the decision was made to only have Stitch's name in the title of this and the subsequent series, which was going to be called ''Stitch! The Series''. It was then decided to rename the series back to ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'', but the memo wasn't given to the marketing team for ''The Movie'' in time for the name to be changed.
