Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch (credited as just Lilo & Stitch 2 at the start credits) is a direct-to-video animated Disney Channel film produced by DisneyToon Studios. The film is an interquel, being the direct 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 Neverland), 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 series film without actress Daveigh Chase who voices Lilo in all other Lilo & Stitch movies. According to Disney Animation Studios, because Chase was busy working on Lilo & Stitch: The Series she asked her best friend, Fanning, to fill in for her.

Because the film was released around the same time that Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith was released, one of the trailers poked fun at ROTS by using a Star Wars-themed intro & using the gag "Revenge of the Stitch".

Also, early in the film, a Tigger slipper can be seen on one of Pleakley's feet.

Plot

Lilo and her classmates are preparing for a hula competition where the winner gets to perform at the local May Day festival. Each student is required to create an original dance. 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 charging pod 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. Eventually, the two devise a hula based on the legend of Hi'iaka. Lilo gets mad at Stitch and he sends himself away so he won't hurt anyone he loves. Ultimately, Lilo forfeits the competition to help Stitch. Unfortunately, they arrive just as Stitch begins to die. They try to give him energy using the machine but it fails and Stitch dies. However Lilo's love ends up reviving him where the machine could not.

Continuity issues

The film seems to overlook the continuity established in the PlayStation 2 video game, Disney's Stitch: Experiment 626. In this game, set before the events of the first film, Stitch is apparently fully charged and wreaking havoc in outer space. This plot is also evident in the deleted scene entitled "Stitch's Trial" shown on the first Lilo & Stitch DVD.

It is also retconned with Disney Adventures Magazine, where Jumba created Stitch and 625 helps him, but in the movie how Jumba created Stitch is much different and when Jumba was caught, 625 and the other experiments are nowhere to be seen.

The layout of the house has changed, but this is because Lilo & Stitch: The Series was not created by Chris Sanders, it was created by Jess Winfield, who most likely did not know the layout they were giving it in Lilo & Stitch 2.

It can be noted as an inconsistency that in Lilo & Stitch: The Series, Stitch mostly talks in his native alien language, yet for most of Lilo & Stitch 2, he can speak in fluent English.

Despite these differences, it appears that Disney has retconned Disney's Stitch: Experiment 626 and that Lilo & Stitch 2 stands in continuity, appearing after the first installment, and prior to Stitch! The Movie.

Short

Included on the DVD release of Lilo & Stitch 2 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. The short was directed by Mike Disa and co-directed by Tony Bancroft.
