I love Lilo & Stitch, I think it's one of the best things Disney Channel has put out in a long time. Of course, I'm 26 and don't have any kids but if I did I'd let them watch Lilo & Stitch. Aside from Lilo calling Gantu "Big Dummy" and "Stupid Head" all the time I don't really see anything wrong with it personally.

We love Lilo and Stitch. It is my 5 y/os favorite cartoon. If Stitch offends you then you might want to stay away from the MGM parade. He picks his nose and pretends to fling it on the parade watchers! LOL!

such as? Maybe I am missing something, but their antics do seem pretty harmless.

My kids watch it sometimes, they're 7 and 4. Of the episodes I've seen I don't think there's any more violence than in the movie and sometimes less. Maybe you could give some examples about what you don't want your kids to emulate. I guess I haven't really seen anything bad, but like I said they don't watch it alot.

I actually like watching Lilo & Stitch and I find it pretty tame when you compare what's on cartoon network or saturday morning TV.

I don't know....would this really be cute or funny if you had a four year old picking his nose and flinging it?? Or if a four year old at the parade were to turn and do that onto you in those close confines?? UGH....not cute to me.

My 5 y/o knows better then to do such things so it doesn't bother me. Stitch got quite a laugh when he did it though. If I was so worried about the affects of cartoons on kids then I guess I should have never watched the coyote try to kill the roadrunner all those years. Or Popeye beat the you know what out of Bluto. I never had the urge to do any of that after all those years of watching such horrors and I don't worry about my child watching Stitch picking his nose. I am sure my kids have seen worse in their kindergarten classes.

When my kids were younger, I monitored and restricted what they watched a lot more than I do now. I feel I have bigger and better battles to fight. My kids are 11 & 8. Stich and his nose picking is the least of my worries. The interactive stitch plush we have burps a song.

Not agreeing/disagreeing, but I don't know too many boys that don't think this is funny - lilo & stitch didn't have to show them that, it's just a boy thing.

Hope not to be flamed for this but if so I put my suit on already.

I don't care much for Lilo & Stitch but I don't see anything wrong with it. I think that many of the other Disney movies, including some of the older ones, have more violence.

 

[Disney Princess 6]

I never liked Roadrunner or Bugs Bunny as a kid. I don't let my kids see Cartoon Network at all - unless it's an occasional Scooby Doo episode. I hate Rugrats too. My DS loves Kim Possible, but that also contains images I don't love. I don't want my kids saying words like "Stupid."

Guess I'm just super-uptight. In the end, I can't monitor them 24/7. As they get older, they'll make viewing choices I won't always know about or approve of, I am sure. But for now, this is how I feel.

I let my girls watch Lilo and Stitch ... but I agree that there are things I don't like about it and if I had to do it over again - I might not let them start

because - my 4 year old talks like Stitch -- not words like Big Dummy or Stupid Head -- those she knows better than to use - because we have talked about those at length - hearing them at the park, from neighbor kids etc...

nope my DD says things like -- "naga si ka" and just "naga" to the point where sometimes it sounds like she and her sister and speaking their own language...

But the show itself - I enjoy - I just maybe should have waited to let them watch it when they had fully developed their speech patterns

 

[diznygirl]

When we got Boomerang we watched it a lot - reliving our childhood - and I seriously thought "I cannot let my child watch any of this!!" None of the stuff we grew up with was remotely educational. It all was pretty violent - cats running around with shot guns chasing mice, references to ********* in Popeye as well as the inevitable butt-whuppin' Bluto got......

But with Lilo & Stich it's typical gross kid stuff, and I always mention the things I don't like to my son. He knows it is ALWAYS bad to call someone "stupid" and that Myrtle is mean and Lilo shouldn't even WANT her as a friend. Meanwhile, the only thing my DS cares about are the experiments. He knows the names of all of them, goes on the computer to learn more about them on the DIsney web site, made a list of the ones we have seen, and has illustrated story books telling his own epxeriment stories. He's 4 1/2.

I think it's done all right by him.


FYI - Our not allowed list includes Dave the Barbarian and The Proud Family.

Well said!!! I think a round of applause is in order for you!!!

It's true! It's funny what boys think are funny. My son is 15 and he would think that was hilarious!

I remember cringing while watching Lilo and Stitch the movie and hoping my kids wouldn't pick up on some of the stuff. Besides using forbidden words, didn't Lilo get in a fight in school? I can't remember every detail of the movie at this point.

My kids used to watch Lilo and Stitch the cartoon once in a while, and I found their imitations of the experiments irritating, but I fixed that problem when I cancelled the extended cable. Now, they have PBS, Yugioh and Pokemon, and Saturday cartoons.

My other banned cartoons are Jackie Chan and Mucha Lucha, because of the fighting.

I love Lilo and Stitch myself. It really makes me laugh out loud. But I do believe it is inappropriate for my 3 yr old. In the past, before kids, I thought the same things as this poster....

If I was so worried about the affects of cartoons on kids then I guess I should have never watched the coyote try to kill the roadrunner all those years. Or Popeye beat the you know what out of Bluto. I never had the urge to do any of that after all those years of watching such horrors and I don't worry about my child watching Stitch picking his nose. I am sure my kids have seen worse in their kindergarten classes.

But then I started to see my 3 yr old stack up his toys and then crash through them, kicking his toys in all directions. He did that right after watching Lilo and Stitch. And of course, the yelling between the sisters and the slamming of doors always made me cringe as inappropriate ways to handle frustration. I DON'T want him emulating that either. I don't know why it's different w/ my kid.... maybe because he's not mature enough yet to know inappropriate behavior. So it's Rolie Polie who is so dear to his sister for a couple more years for him.

I totally agree with this statement also. I don't think there is anything wrong with Lilo and Stitch. I let my 6 yo DS watch it without even a thought. I do restrict some of his TV, like he's not aloud to watch Cartoon Network at all. He loves the Power Rangers, who fight with "bad guys" through 70% of the show. If the worse thing my DS did, growing up, was pick his nose and fling it, I'd be a happy camper.

I love Lilo & Stitch! Nothing they do on there is nearly as bad as the cartoons we watched when we were younger. WEe watched other charactyers be blown to smitherines or shot up in gun fights whenever they got mad. We even watched as Bugs Bunny put down the Germans constantly.

Today's cartoons are nothing compared to this. Just reme,ber, it's only a cartyoon. Make sure your kids know that and you're all set!
