Twitter user Disney Animation says “Happy 20th Anniversary to Lilo & Stitch, released on this day in 2002! 🌊 ”

Twitter user Disney says “Hang ten for the 20th anniversary of Lilo & Stitch! 🌺 ”

Twitter user The New York Times says ““Lilo & Stitch,” released 20 years ago this week, featured nuanced depictions of Hawaii and strong female characters. The director wishes more people would notice how the relationship between the two sisters anticipated “Frozen” by more than a decade. ”

Twitter user Disney D23 says “”Hello? Cobra Bubbles? Today is the 20th Anniversary of Lilo & Stitch!” ”

Twitter user Variety says “When “Frozen” was released, it was celebrated for prioritizing sisterhood.

This left “Lilo & Stitch” co-director Chris Sanders frustrated: “People were like, ‘Finally, a nonromantic relationship with these two girls,’ and I thought, ‘We did that!'” ”
