Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch (credited as just Lilo & Stitch 2 at the start credits) is a 2005 direct-to-video animated film produced by DisneyToon Studios. The film is regarded as the first "true" sequel to the 2002 Disney feature film Lilo & Stitch and taking place before the events of Stitch! The Movie and subsequent additions to the franchise. Although originally slated for a theatrical release (like Return to Neverland), it was released to DVD and VHS on August 30, 2005. Like the original film, Lilo & Stitch 2 features the music of Elvis Presley and the original film's animation style. Despite always being labeled with the subtitle, "Stitch has a Glitch," this does not actually appear in the title card. However, a modified title card featuring it did show up in the preview for the film's Disney Channel airing.

This is the only film in the series without actress Daveigh Chase who voices Lilo in all other Lilo & Stitch movies. According to Disney Animation Studios, because Chase was busy working on Lilo & Stitch: The Series she was replaced by renowned child actress Dakota Fanning, Daveigh's best friend. It is also notable that this is the only direct-to-DVD film by Disney to get a PG rating by the MPAA, and is the shortest (in running time) PG-rated film of all time.

Another side note: The Japanese Anime 3rd Season two-parter "The Day Stitch Was Born", Stitch, Yuna, and Pleakley went back in time, delaying Past Jumba's creation of Past Stitch, causing Stitch to glitch as he is slowly being erased from history. However at the end of the episode, Jumba completed Past Stitch and had him FULLY CHARGED, thereby restoring present day Stitch. Also, Jumba and Past Stitch were not arrested at the end of the episode. Because of this, Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has A Glitch may have been reconned from canon continuity. Though it is possible that it is just a continuity error.

Plot

At the start of the movie, Stitch is having a nightmare about turning bad again and causing destruction to Earth. After Stitch wakes up, Lilo tests his goodness level by doing good things. Discovering that they are late for hula class, they use the hovercraft to get there. While at hula class, Kumu announces that Lilo and her classmates have to prepare to perform at the local May Day festival. Each student is required to create an original dance. After hula class ends, Mytrle insults Lilo, so they fight but after taking pictures of the brawl, Stitch forgets to flush the evidence. Kumu thinks that Lilo is not ready for the competition because of the fight with Mytrle, but Lilo is ready and 'triple promises' to be good. While preparing for the competition, Lilo and Stitch didn't get any ideas and Nani wants them to have family fun. While watching 'THEM!' (film clip courtesy of Warner Bros.) on family fun night, Stitch's past comes back to haunt him and goes berserk in the house. It seems that after Stitch was created, Jumba did not get a chance to fully charge Stitch's molecules before they were both arrested by the intergalactic police. At first, this glitch causes Stitch to revert to his old destructive programming, but it will ultimately destroy him if Jumba cannot create a fusion chamber before Stitch's energy runs out.

Meanwhile, Stitch's uncontrollable destructive behavior is driving a wedge between him and Lilo and ruining her chances for success at the hula competition. Lilo and Stitch try getting inspiration for their hula, but Stitch keeps going mad because of his molecules. Eventually, the two devise a hula based on the legend of Hi'iaka. Lilo gets increasingly mad at Stitch as he ruins their practice sessions. However, just before the competition, Lilo and Stitch make-up. After the really bad rehearsal at the hulau, Lilo goes straight to the May Day festival, but she realizes that she can't do her dance without Stitch, While searching for him, Stitch has another one of his fits and attacks Lilo; this upsets him so much that he decides to leave Earth, believing himself to be "too dangerous". Ultimately, Lilo forfeits the competition to help Stitch. Lilo and the others try to chase down Stitch to bring him to the competition for Lilo's hula dance. Stitch crashes his ship and Lilo tries to get him into Jumba's machine, but she's too late, as Stitch shuts down. Lilo and the rest of the family arrive too late, as Stitch is already dead, but with Lilo's (and everyone else's) love for him, Stitch regains his life and there is a happy ending as the family perform their dance together.

Short - The Origin of Stitch

Included on the DVD release of the film is the animated short "The Origin of Stitch". The short has a total running time of 4:35 minutes and serves as a bridge between Stitch has a Glitch and Stitch! The Movie (and Lilo & Stitch: The Series). In the short, Stitch discovers Jumba’s secret computer that reveals what creatures Jumba had used to create Stitch, and also hints at his other 625 experiments. Stitch is scared to find out what a monster he is, only for Jumba to come and explain how he found love when he met Lilo. The short was directed by Mike Disa and co-directed by Tony Bancroft.
