Regrettably, towards the end the film veers off into a mess of weird aliens and Cartoon Network silliness.

It's a bright, engaging bauble with half a dozen Elvis Presley songs for Mom and Dad, and just enough sass -- Stitch sticks his tongue into his nose and eats his snot -- to keep the tweeners giggling.
