A young Hawaiian girl named Lilo (right), her sister Nani (middle), and their "dog" Stitch escape their troubles by catching a wave.

A no-nonsense social worker named Cobra Bubbles (left) tells Nani that she has three days to prove that she's an appropriate guardian for Lilo or the situation will have to change.

At the animal shelter, Lilo meets Stitch, the "dog" of her dreams, much to the chagrin of her sister Nani and the shelter worker.

Stitch, an out-of-control genetic experiment from another galaxy, escapes from captivity and commandeers a police cruiser.

Lilo and her older sister/guardian Nani (left) have a heart-to-heart talk about `ohana (the Hawaiian word and concept for family). 

A Hawaiian girl named Lilo discovers that Stitch can do a "stupid pet trick" when he uses his nail to play a phonograph record and the sound comes out of his mouth.

Nani (left) and her former boyfriend David Kawena (right) enjoy a happy moment as they play in the sand with Lilo.

The Grand Councilwoman presides over a Galactic Federation gathering to decide Stitch's fate.

A mad scientist named Jumba Jookiba, and Pleakley, (left) an Earth enthusiast, pose as tourists as they attempt to capture Stitch and return him to the Planet Turo.
