I felt that a bit too! When the (hilarious!) gags stopped coming as the story focused on the sad story of the two sisters, I thought to myself silently, "This is really good, but wasn't I laughing a lot just a while ago?"

At any rate, I'll have to say this is a strength of the movie. It achieves so many things despite looking so unassuming initially.

And the weirdest thing is that I only really appreciate it now. I loved Lilo and Stitch as a kid, but my attention was focused on the gags and the funny lines (which are still great today). However now I appreciate the drama a lot more and it really is astounding what Disney had created back then. Newfound love, indeed!
