Now, we find the rowdy extraterrestrial getting used to life with his new ʻohana. However, a malfunction in the ultimate creation of Dr. Jumba soon emerges, which reinstates his destructive programming and threatens to both ruin his friendship with Lilo and to short him out for good!

'Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch' is cherished for its heartwarming themes and faithful animation. The voice acting, especially Chris Sanders as Stitch, is lauded. The engaging storyline involving Stitch's glitch is appreciated, though some wish for a longer runtime and deeper subplots. Dakota Fanning's Lilo receives mixed feedback, but the film is generally viewed as a decent sequel that appeals to fans of the original.
