Template:Infobox Film rating Leroy & Stitch is an animated film created by Walt Disney Television Animation. It is a spin-off of the 2002 animated feature film Lilo & Stitch and the conclusion to the television series Lilo & Stitch: The Series and the franchise as well. The film debuted on the Disney Channel on June 23, 2006 and also aired on Toon Disney on June 26, 2006. It was released on DVD on June 27 2006, a few days after the show's series finale.

Plot

Template:Spoiler Their mission to capture all 625 experiments and repurpose them on Earth completed, Lilo and her family are honored as heroes by the Galactic Alliance. Jumba is given the key to his laboratory again, Pleakley is offered a post as chairman of Earth Studies at G.A.C.C. (Galactic Alliance Community College) and Stitch is made Captain of the Galactic Armada and commander of the BRB-9000 (BRB stands for "Big Red Battleship"). Lilo is made Ambassador to Earth and sole guardian of Stitch's "cousins". At first, the others refuse their rewards because they see how sad Lilo is when she finds out they would leave. But after a few days, Lilo accepts it and gets ready to say goodbye to her extended family from outer space. Before they leave, Lilo gives Jumba an Elvis record, Pleakley a paperweight(actually, an Earth rock) and Stitch a necklace with a Tiki Ku (the Hawaiian God of strength).

Meanwhile Gantu has decided that since he failed in capturing all of the experiments except for 625, he would break Hämsterviel out of prison. He takes the two-man shuttle, leaving 625 alone.

At Galactic Alliance HQ on Planet Turo, Stitch is given his first assignment - recapture Hämsterviel. Pleakley is first overjoyed at his new position at G.A.C.C., until his assistant tells him that he is merely a supervisory professor - he will teach no classes. Jumba is also happy at first returning to many of his "evil genius" ways, but soon discovers that without Pleakly (or anyone else) to show his accomplishments to he is as unhappy as the others.

Jumba's sadness is short-lived when Hämsterviel and Gantu burst in. Hämsterviel demands a new and better experiment to defeat the Galactic Alliance. When Jumba refuses, he is forced to do it at laser-point. This new creation has all of Stitch's powers, but is slightly less "fluffy". After running through several names and one number (Experiment 627, which Gantu reminds Jumba he already created), Hämsterviel names this new monstrosity Leroy.

At this point, Stitch blasts through the door, seeking to capture Hämsterviel. After a fight that destroys Jumba's lab (much to his horror since he doesn't have insurance), Stitch is defeated when Pleakley shows up at a very bad time and distracts Stitch long enough for Leroy to lock him in an experiment pod. Hämsterviel then revels his master plan: to clone an army of Leroy's to take over the Galactic Alliance. Before leaving for Turo, Hämsterviel locks Jumba, Pleakley and Stitch in Pleakley's G.A.C.C. space vehicle - with its autopilot set to send the ship into a black hole.

Back on Earth, Lilo makes the rounds to ensure that all of the "cousins" are still happy in their "one true place". After a confrontation with Myrtle (who tells Lilo that she thinks Stitch ran away because she was too weird), Lilo decides to contact Stitch. After calling Cobra Bubbles (and getting his answering machine), Lilo realizes that there is still one inter-galactic videophone on the planet. Going to Gantu's ship, Lilo finds 625 making huge numbers of sandwiches. Lilo offers him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. 625 is touched since no one has ever made him a sandwich before, but still remains suspicious of Lilo. When she asks about the videophone, 625 says it is broken and he won't fix it. Lilo notices that 625 doesn't have a name and, after several bad sandwich puns, settles on "Reuben". 625/Reuben likes his new name and decides to help Lilo.

Once the videophone is fixed, Lilo contacts the BRB-9000. Leroy tries to pass himself off as Stitch, but Lilo isn't fooled because Leroy doesn't have the tiki necklace. Leroy blasts the communication screen. Hämsterviel decides on a new task for Leroy - go to Earth and capture all of the other experiments so that Hämsterviel may destroy them.

Lilo, sensing Stitch is in trouble, asks Reuben for help fixing Gantu's ship because he's got almost all the same powers as Stitch. Again, after some reluctance, he agrees and in no time Gantu's ship is space-worthy. But, as they leave Leroy crashes to Earth (in much the same manner as Stitch in the original movie).

As Jumba, Pleakley and Stitch head towards the black hole, Stitch escapes and quickly frees the others. However, the navigational computer is locked on course for the black hole. Jumba says that the black hole will teleport them to a volcanic planet where they will be instantly vaporized, but if they can disrupt the event horizon it will send them somewhere else. Pleakley pulls out the rock that Lilo gave him and asks if this will work. After Jumba says it is too heavy, Stitch takes a bite out of it, then crawls out the front of th vehicle and throws it at the black hole. There is a flash and the vehicle is sucked in.

On Earth, Leroy obtains Lilo's scrapbook of "cousins" and quickly captures all of them (as well as Myrtle).

Lilo and Reuben have arrived at Turo, but they are too late. Hämsterviel has taken over and he orders Gantu to lock them up, then turn in his I.D. card and cape - he's no longer needed since Hämsterviel has an army of Leroys to do his bidding and they have shown their ability to succeed.

Gantu locks both Lilo and Reuben up, but a few minutes later decides to release them because Hämsterviel fired him. After a close call with several Leroy clones, they are trapped. All looks lost until the G.A.C.C. van suddenly appears. With no time to explain, Lilo, Reuben and Gantu all climb in and head for Earth.

On Earth, the original Leroy has herded all the experiments into a large stadium (where "Alohapalooza" was scheduled). The BRB-9000 appears and Hämsterviel prepares to obliterate all of the experiments, until a timely appearance by Lilo, Stitch and the others destroys the BRB's primary cannon. Hämsterviel is unfazed and reveals that he brought along his Leroy army as backup. Stitch rallies his "cousins" and soon the experiments are battling it out. But it is clear that the Leroys are more than a match for the good guys. Pinned down, Jumba realizes that he did program a shut-down command into Leroy. When the original Leroy was created, Jumba was playing Lilo's record, which had a copy of Elvis' "Aloha Oe". If Leroy hears that song again it will cause him to deactivate. Lilo, seeing the equipment set up for the concert, comes up with a plan.

With Jumba on sound, Pleakley on lights and Gantu providing fireworks, Stitch pops out on-stage in full Elvis attire. He begins to play "Aloha Oe" and, one by one, the Leroys seize up and deactivate. Lilo and Reuben join in and every Leroy is stopped (including the original). His plan foiled, Hämsterviel is recaptured.

Once again, we are back at Galactic Alliance HQ. The Grand Councilwoman calls Lilo and the others heroes of the Alliance and asks what reward they would like. Stitch is first, returning his commission and asking to go home to Earth with Lilo. Pleakley and Jumba also return their rewards and ask for the same. The Grand Councilwoman accepts this, then asks Gantu if he would like to be reinstated as Captain of the Armada. Gantu agrees, on one condition: that Reuben be assigned to his ship as its Galley Officer. The Councilwoman agrees.

Back on Earth, Lilo sets up for one last picture. Myrtle arrives with Gigi (during the battle Myrtle learned that Gigi could talk and was one of Jumba's experiments). Though Myrtle still thinks Lilo is weird, she says that Gigi wants to be part of the "ohana". Lilo's last picture is of all of the experiments still on Earth.

Meanwhile, Hamsterviel and Leroy and his clones were put into jail. Before the ending credits, The clones of Leroys, except Dr. Hamsterviel (only tapping his feet), were dancing to Elvis Presley's song, Jailhouse Rock.

At the end of the movie all the names of the first 626 experiments are listed.

Leroy's Number

Although Leroy is not actually Experiment 627, which already made an appearance in the series, the distributors of the movie, Buena Vista Home Entertainment, referred to him as such in their press release regarding the movie, and plans to release the movie in June 27 (6/27), despite the creators constantly correcting them and a scene in the movie explaining Leroy and 627 as separate characters. A TV commercial for the DVD release identifies Leroy as Experiment 628, which is incorrect, because 628's pod was featured in 627's episode (But it is possable that was when he started him), & Leroy was being created during Leroy & Stitch, which would make him Experiment 629. To prove this further; 627 & 628's pods was blue and Leroy's was green. To prove it even further that 627 is a different character; Jumba said, "why not call it 627?" and Gantu's reply was, "you already created 627."

According to Ultimate Disney, the Leroy & Stitch DVD will only contain one unaired episode of Lilo & Stitch: The Series as well as a game on the DVD called "The Big Red Battleship Flight Simulator Game".

Remarks

  • It is unclear as to why Mr. Stenchy, Experiment 254, had returned to Earth in Leroy & Stitch. Mr. Stenchy's one true place became Agent Wendy Pleakley's home planet, yet he was recaptured by Leroy, along with the other cousins on the island of Kauai. The best explanation is that he was visiting planet Earth.

The Uk/England Release date

It is unknow of yet when Leroy & Stitch will be coming to the Uk/England but it maybe sometime in Aug-Sep 06.
