Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch (credited as just Lilo & Stitch 2 at the start credits) is a 2005 direct-to-video animated film produced by DisneyToon Studios. The film is regarded as the first "true" sequel to the 2002 Disney feature film Lilo & Stitch and taking place before the events of Stitch! The Movie and subsequent additions to the franchise. Although originally slated for a theatrical release (like Return to Never Land), it was released to DVD and VHS on August 30, 2005. Like the original film, Lilo & Stitch 2 features the music of Elvis Presley and the original film's animation style. Despite always being labeled with the subtitle "Stitch Has a Glitch", this does not actually appear in the title card. However, a modified title card featuring it did show up in the preview for the film's Disney Channel airing.
This is the only film in the series without actress Daveigh Chase who voices Lilo in all other Lilo & Stitch movies. According to Disney Animation Studios, Chase was so busy working on Lilo & Stitch: The Series that she was replaced by renowned child actress and good friend Dakota Fanning.[1]

[edit] Plot
Lilo and her classmates are preparing to perform at the local May Day festival. Each student is required to create an original dance. When Lilo learns that her mother won the competition when she was her age she becomes determined to win it. While preparing for the competition, Stitch's past comes back to haunt him. It seems that after Stitch was created, Jumba did not get a chance to fully charge Stitch's molecules before they were both arrested. At first, this glitch causes Stitch to revert to his old destructive programming, but it will ultimately destroy him if Jumba cannot create a fusion chamber before Stitch's energy runs out.
Meanwhile, Stitch's uncontrollable destructive behavior is driving a wedge between him and Lilo and ruining her chances for success at the hula competition. Because Lilo is so concerned about winning the competition she fails to notice his glitch and does not understand that the trouble he is causing now is not his fault; she is too busy trying to get him to help her and completely neglects helping him. Eventually, the two devise a hula based on the legend of Hi'iaka. Lilo gets increasingly angry at Stitch as he ruins their practice sessions. To make matters worse Jumba is having problems creating the fusion chamber due to the fact that he does not have the proper alien technology to build it and has to try building it using ordinary house-hold objects. However, just before the competition, Lilo and Stitch make-up and Jumba finally completes the fusion chamber. Then, Stitch has another one of his fits and accidentally scratches Lilo; this upsets him so much that he decides to leave Earth, believing himself to be "too dangerous". Lilo finally realizes that something is terribly wrong with Stitch and in the middle of her performance she forfeits the competition to help him.
As Stitch attempts to leave Earth Lilo and the rest of the family desperately try to get him back so that they could re-charge him. Stitch then has another outburst which causes him to crash the space ship in the Hawaiian mountains, Lilo rides over to the crash site in a mini space scooter, she finds Stitch close to death and struggles to get him into Jumba`s fusion chamber. Unfortunately, she is too late by the time she places him in the machine and Stitch dies, but with Lilo's (and everyone else's) love for him, Stitch is revived, they all attend Lilo's hula play and there is a happy ending.

Included on the DVD release of the film is the animated short "The Origin of Stitch". The short has a total running time of 4:35 minutes and serves as a bridge between Stitch has a Glitch and Stitch! The Movie (and Lilo & Stitch: The Series). In the short, Stitch discovers Jumba’s secret computer that reveals what creatures Jumba had used to create Stitch, and also hints at his other 625 experiments. Stitch is scared to find out what a monster he is, only for Jumba to come and explain how he found love when he met Lilo. The short was directed by Mike Disa and co-directed by Tony Bancroft.
