The book is 1984, which is neither. It's anti-authoritarian, which tells you a lot.

Ya know, sometimes I wish the joke *didn’t* write itself.

Don’t let the crowd who wasn’t interested in DnD to begin with lecture you about needing diversity in DnD.

[kaldicuct]

Both.

I dont know about DnD, but lets not forget who supported censorship of video games.

(Spoiler, it wasnt Republicans).

Lilo, why are you all wet?

[tin-pan-ali-deactivated20191216]

This is actually heartbreaking when you remember Lilo tells Stitch her parents went for a drive, and the bad weather caused them to crash.

[cubesona]

I always thought this scene was adorable

Wow thanks guy

Right in the childhood.

[amonkiras-deactivated20121224]

i never made that connection

[enkelirune]

WOW

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

YOU RUINED MY FAVOURITE PART OF THE MOVIE

[fitziggler]

[crazylogic-deactivated20200705]

I get the feeling the adults knew…

[jaaku-frost]

and now I’m wondering how in the hell Lilo came to the conclusion that there’s a peanut butter loving fish god who demands tribute or else he’ll murder your family. 

[ethereal-business-cabaret]

When massive trauma hits, some people try to find any way to make sense of what seems senseless. Find any semblance of control, of responsibility. Lilo may be blaming herself (unfairly) for her parents’ death. This was the only connection she could make, the only thing she could have had any control over, so to her it must have been her fault. If only she was a good girl. If only she did the right thing. Then maybe… It’s very very hard to lose a mindset like that even when it’s the most irrational thing, even when it hurts you, because then you’re left with nothing.

[bigmouthlass]

And when you’re six your pattern recognition skills are a work in progress. Lilo sees that type of fish one day and as it swims away it starts to rain; connection made.

This movie had some of the best scenes cut out of it. 

[just-an-anxious-mess]

This is one of my favourite movies yet somehow I never saw this deleted scene…. Excuse me a second…

*The distant sound of full on ugly crying*

[nikoletapantexiii-deactivated20]

So THIS is why i know every line of this scene, my heart knew but my brain didn’t really get why I have memorized it. OMG.

[advanced-procrastination]

Why y’all got me crying about this movie 17 years later wtf

[chinloopa]

Stitch canonically has a brain that can think faster than a super computer.

This scene isn’t even fully animated and you can see that he is literally putting all of this together in real time; he analyzed her behavior and the significance of the fish in relation to the grave site. He probably understood her behavior better than she did at this moment. I don’t know why they cut this scene out, it obviously shows up in the film right before the surfing sequence - this is why Stitch changed. Not because they had some fun surfing on the beach, but because his highly intuitive brain finally put together who this little girl was, what exactly had happened to her and why she was so desperate for a friend.

Even further, I bet it suddenly clicked for him why Nani was so desperate for work that she was dragging them around all day. This is the scene where he realizes who they both are and what they’ve been through and probably relates it to his own lack of a family and need for one, as well. This is when he starts to understand the meaning of family and realizes it’s what he wants and needs, as well.

Not to mention that chronologically this theme music would have appeared here just 10 or so minutes before the heartbreaking hammock scene - drawing a direct parallel between what Lilo had already lost and what she was about to lose because of his actions. This one scene would have added such a more distinct weight to the pivotal scenes of the movie.

Damn. I hope they add some of these scenes fully animated into the 25 year anniversary release of the movie.

reaches the “Hadal Zone”– named after the Greek God Hades who’s inhabitants can never leave, which is fairly accurate

look I don’t know anything about laser hair removal but those Groupon discounts seem like the sketchiest thing in existence

[glumshoe]

on one hand $200 seems like a reasonable price to zap hair off with a laser

on the other hand, if the only studios with actual websites and reviews are charging $3,499 for the same service, I’m guessing the Groupon ones either steal your organs OR they just incinerate your whole body with a Tesla death ray

It’s a shame that Snopes is completely worthless these days
