Lilo and Stitch: At the (stupid fakey) Luau

  1. Lilo’s habit of taking photos of tourists is also apparently a flipping of the script on tourists taking photos of the native Hawaiians as though they are part of the scenery. This movie is beyond well-researched, and to cut the whole essay short that’s why it’s amazing.
