If you thought Stitch was a ball of fire, wait till you see your kids bobbing, bouncing, and breaking bad to this soundtrack. The kid/Elvis Presley connection is by now a known quantity (check out the many kid-specific compilations devoted to the King), and the songs selected here couldn't make better sense--"Stuck on You" sends 'em out on the living-room dance floor and serves as this shake-and-shimmy session's starter course; "Suspicious Minds" blows off its paranoia for packs of precocious lip-synchers; "Heartbreak Hotel" will have to adjust its check-out time; "Devil in Disguise"'s dips and swerves demand a full-tilt rock-out; and "Hound Dog" plants a seed of suspicion in your own mind: Was that song written for grown-ups? A couple of covers--Wynonna's throaty, work-you-up "Burning Love" and A*Teens' bubble-yummy "Can't Help Falling in Love"--keep the bobby-sox brigade cutting the carpet until a three-track slice of score returns us to a soundtrack state of mind. "Stitch to the Rescue," "You Can Never Belong," and "I'm Lost," from composer Alan Silvestri, race forward with snatches of danger, intrigue, and playfulness, stopping every so often for swells of hope and heavy-heartedness. But once Elvis leaves the building and Silvestri hits the lights, it's this record's two Hawaiian originals that hang back. Mark Keali'I Ho'omalu's "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" and "He Mele No Lilo" sway with the gentleness of a grass skirt, heaping on a classic hula vibe that'll chase off any remaining ants in the pants of pork-chopless, pelvis-swiveling Elvis pretenders. --Tammy La Gorce

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, missing one song though, December 31, 2002

By	Archie Bunker (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

I love this sountrack! I guess it helps that Lilo and Stitch is my favorite movie, but this soundtrack is definitely a winner.

This thing is packed with Elvis hits from start to finish, and all of us old folk will be moving our hips again to these old tunes that were still pretty popular when we were young. It's nice to see the King resurrected once again for an amazing movie.

Then there's two Hawaiian songs which are simply beautiful, very happy and very traditional in feel. The sountrack opens with Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride which is very fun, used at the beginning of the film, and later we hear He Mele No Lilo which is the one they played while surfing later in the show. There's a version of Can't Help Falling In Love by A-Teens, which is pretty good, and Burning Love by Wynona, which is spectacular! And if you saw the movie you'll notice that this song has Stitch on guitar at the ending, it's worth a smile to think about that scene while listening to this song.

I've said it in another review of the movie, that Stitch is my fav Disney character, and the fact that in the movie Stitch played some of these songs (with the help of Lilo), makes the whole thing more enjoyable.

The last three tracks are score from the movie. Not as exciting as what came before it, but I guess it's necessary to include them. It is fun though to listen and try and pick out the parts from the movie that they came from, Stitch to the rescue is of course from the part where Lilo is kidnapped by Gantu, forcing Stitch and Jumba to fly after him in their own spaceship, as stitch tries to rescue Lilo.

Very good fun. There's only one problem...this sountrack doesn't include Nani singing "Aloha 'Oe"! How sad! I was really looking forward to hearing that song again, as that part of the movie had me in tears, yes, tears. And lot's of them. Why they didn't inlcude it here is beyond me. So I take 1/2 a point off for that and give this sountrack 4 1/2 stars. Still very good though, be sure to buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something For Everyone, June 12, 2002

By	B.P. "tilley_traveler" (Wisconsin, United States) - See all my reviews

This Soundtrack has a pleasing variety of songs. The big attraction is likely to be the popular Elvis Presley tunes. But other tracks feature a Hawaiian children's choir that can sing with some beautiful harmonies, A-Teens singing a pop version of the well-known song "Can't Help Falling In Love With You," and country singer Wynonna performing the song titled "Burning Love." The CD concludes with three tracks of dynamic instrumentals, and all together it's a cute collection of music.

I figure this soundtrack, and maybe the movie will probably be a hit with Elvis fans. As it has a few entertaining surprises along that line. I'm not a die-hard Elvis fan, but really loved the CD from begining to end. I think it's recommendable because this soundtrack is one that can be enjoyed by all. For kids and adults alike and even if you've seen the movie or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Excellent Soundtrack For An Excellent Movie!, June 23, 2002

A Kid's Review

The story of Lilo and Stitch is about a crazed bio-engineered experiment titled "626" A.K.A: Stitch.And a lonely little girl from Hawaii named Lilo,who wishes for a friend and gets Stitch.Well Stitch is also from outer space,and was going to be exiled onto a deserted planet but escapes and steals a space cruiser and crashes onto the planet...Earth...Hawaii to be exact.Stitch acts like a dog so he can be Lilo's pet.But two space aliens are trying to bring him back to outer space.So it all becomes a big mess.But I'm supposed to be reviewing the soundtrack aren't I? This is an awesome soundtrack,with 5 Elvis songs,2 covers of Elvis songs by the Country singer Wynonna doing "Burning Love" and the A*Teens remake of "Can't Help Falling In Love With You".Along with with 3 original scores from the movie.Also did I mention you get 2 original songs from the Kamehahmeha childrens chorus:Hawaiian style! In the CD you also get pictures from the movie!So,It's very complete package with great songs so it is definitely recommended by me to whoever reads this review.I hope this review has been helpful to you. PS:This is my 10th review! Thank you to all who have been reading my reviews,I really appreciate it.
