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 in the United States 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 at the end of the day, 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 Dr. 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 Pleakley (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 a contaner. Hämsterviel then reveals 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, though Reuben (625) is, 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 in Myrtle's back yard (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 the 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 Mertle).

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 Leroy clones 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. Mertle arrives with Gigi (during the battle Mertle learned that Gigi could talk and was one of Jumba's experiments). Though Mertle 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 Leroy were dancing to Elvis Presley's song, Jailhouse Rock, with Dr. Hamsterviel tapping his feet.

At the end of the movie all the names of the first 626 experiments (out of the 629 experiments) are listed.

Bonus Episode

We open on Lilo playing Dracula with her vampire kite. She runs into Mertle, as she isn't watching where she is going, & they are confronted by a pirate. He gives Lilo a treasure map, & Mertle tries to grab it, which starts a fight over the map, but the pirate assures them there is enough treasure for both of them. When they start, Stitch leads them 100 paces East. (This leads them back where they started, unbeknownest to them.) As they are digging, Mertle digs up a pod & tosses it over to another area, where Experiment 251 is activated. Meanwhile, Gantu is spying on the girls & overhears about the treasure. He instantly wants to find it & keep it for himself so he can retire & "tell Dr. Hämsterviel to get another errand boy!" At that moment, however, Hämsterviel calls & tells Gantu to go to another planet to pick up his dry cleaning. Eventually, Mertle believes that Lilo read the map wrong,(as they are finding nothing) & the 2 begin to fight over it again. 251 sees them, & joins them together with a sticky blue substance. Stitch tries to get it off, with no success. Lilo suggests that Stitch get a saw. He heads off to the house to get one.
At the house, Pleakley has just finished cleaning the lab, when Jumba's new invention, a ketchup-powered rocket, malfunctions & messes up the room. 251 sees them arguing, climbs in through the window, & joins them, just as he did Lilo & Mertle. Meanwhile, Stitch finds a chain saw, which Nani tells him to put away. He does so, but then begins pulling on Nani's arm (similar to the same manner of a whiny child) & asks Nani to come help him with Lilo's sticky situation. Nani tells him she can't, as she has to drive the water ski boat. 251 then joins them together, forcing Nani to take Stitch with her to the boat. When she gets there, the somewhat annoyed customer asks her why she brought Stitch, & Nani says that Stitch loves the water (which in reality he hates the water). During the boat trip, the boat's motor dies. Stitch quickly hotwires it, which leads to a thrilling series of events. In the end, the boat slides onto the beach, & throws Nani & Stitch into the mud, which they discover dissolves the sticky substance. The customer is satisfied, & says she'll be back later for another ride. Nani & Stitch head back to the house & tell Jumba, which he does not believe at first, but then decides to try it, after much reluctance from Pleakley. ("either mud bath or internal lasering!") They are freed, & Jumba agrees to clean up the mess.
Meanwhile, Lilo & Mertle are in pursuit of 251. They manage to capture him by using their rope of sticky stuff as a lasso & catching him in Lilo's backpack. Lilo then names 251 "Link" (which she says is short for Linkenstein, the zombie president). Then Gantu appears & offers to take the experiment & the treasure. Link escapes Lilo's backpack, which leads to another pursuit, in which Lilo & Mertle end up getting stuck to Gantu's head, much to all their dismay. Gantu then captures Link & takes him to his ship. When 625 sees Lilo & Mertle on Gantu's head, he asks "Can I have a ride next?", to which Gantu blows him off. Stitch bursts in & seperates them all. Gantu catches Mertle & threatens to vaporize her. Lilo throws a bucket of mud to Mertle, which she throws in Gantu's eyes. Link joins Gantu & 625 to a chair as they escape, &, even after much persuasion, 625 won't let Gantu go "until after lunch!" Hämsterviel then appears to taunt Gantu.
Lilo & Mertle then resume their treasure hunt, but as Mertle lost her half of the map, they can not finish. They sit down on a bench, but then the pirate appears & shows them that they found it. Lilo opens it, & finds a piece of paper inside. The pirate says it is a coupon for a free trip to Grinnin' Jack's Ye Olde Dental Shop, where you get a free cleaning & polishing. Mertle leaves in disgust, pretending that the wierd day never happened. Later, Lilo finds Link's one true place joining together bungee couples that don't cooperate. Stitch tells Lilo he's sorry there was no treasure. Lilo said that working with Mertle was the best treasure of all, & that she had gotten the free cleaning & polishing at the dental shop. She then smiles to reveal a golden tooth. Template:Endspoiler

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. This is incorrect, as 628's pod was featured in 627's episode, & Leroy was created in Leroy & Stitch, which would make him officially Experiment 629. To prove it even further that 627 is a different character; Jumba said, "why not just call it 627?" and Gantu's reply was, "you already created 627." to which Jumba's reply was "I did?"

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


Voice cast

Goofs

  • When Stitch is rolling past Gantu's feet Wrapper has no eyes.
  • After Leroy laughs in the Alohapalooza stadium and it shows all the experiments, Deforestator is blue instead of purple and pink. Actually this was confirmed by Jess Winfield to be a different experiment not a goof.
  • In the film, the ship is called the BRB-9000, but in the flight simulator, it is called the BRB-5000. It is clearly not a different ship, because the voice says "You have chosen to pilot the same ship that Captain Stitch flies."

Trivia

  • This is the fifth time the song Aloha Oe has been featured. The first time was in the first film, when Lilo & Nani were in the hammock, the second was in "Spooky" several times, and the third is in "Elastico" when Lilo's making her necklace and when 625/Reuben is making a sandwich.
  • 1 of the scene selections on the DVD is called 50,000 Leroy Clones Can't Be Wrong, which is a reference to the Elvis album Elvis' Gold Records, Vol. 2: 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong.
  • During Aloha Oe, Slick can be seen appearing twice in the long pan scene of all the cousins.
  • In the end photo we can see Phoon before she was mutated and we can also see her in mutated form.
  • In the end photo you can see two Backhoes.
  • When Stitch is rolling past Gantu's feet, you see Timon and Pumbaa from The Lion King films. You can also see them in the back in the first shot of the stadium, you can briefly see Timon & Pumbaa before Stitch slides on his knees across the stadium.
  • This is the only time Gigi (Experiment 007) speaks (saying "Nice one, cousin" to Clip (Experiment 177) and "Look out!" to Mertle Edmonds); in her previous appearances, she did not speak.
  • 625/Reuben uses his powers for the first and only time.
  • The scene where an upbeat version of Aloha 'Oe knocked out all the Leroys is similar to a scene in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie where the song Goofy Goober Rock, an upbeat version of The Goofy Goober Song, knocked out Plankton's mind-control helmets.
