'''''Lilo & Stitch: The Series''''' (2003-2006)
As the series begins, it is revealed that many other experiments of Stitch's lineage, of which he is number 626, have landed near Hawaii by accident (as shown in the straight for video movie ''Stitch The Movie''). Stored in pods that activate one by one in freak occurrences (usually by dropping into water), each specialized experiment uses its unique power to wreak havok on the island until it is captured. Lilo and Stitch's goal is to find a place in which each of Stitch's "cousins" can be useful and happy. Competing with them for each capture is movie bad-guy Captain Gantu, who seeks to enslave the experiments for the even-eviler Doctor

* [[Abnormal Limb Rotation Range]]: Shortstuff (#297) has a knack for this.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: In one episode Pleakley claims he and Jumba are "Canadians from Canadia." Kevin MacDonald is Canadian.
Line 19:
* [[Batman Can Breathe in Space]]: All of the experiments are capable of doing this, as seen in 'The Asteroid', whether they have been specifically designed to survive in vacuum or just can hold their breath a long time is debatable.
* [[Big Eater]] - Experiment 625, Gantu's [[Sidekick]] and Stitch's immediate predecessor, is a lazy bum who eats Dagwood sandwiches all day. In fact, most of the experiments (at least the more "beastly" ones), including Stitch himself, are.
* [[Broken Aesop]]: Ohana may mean family, and family may mean that nobody's left behind, etc. etc., but Lilo can be astonishingly cold to some of the experiments. The episode ''Snafu'' hinged on this fact, actually.
* [[Cardboard Prison]] - Dr. Hamsterviel is able to keep contact with Gantu through video phone and receive captured experiments from within his prison cell.
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]] - Experiment 627 can literally only say "Evil."
** Gantu himself flipflopped on the issue, depending on the episode.
* [[Cheaters Never Prosper]]: Subverted in one case where Mertle actually won a dog contest through cheating but relinquished the the trophy after the duo helped saved her pet (which was an experiment) from Gantu. Played straight in a later episode via a trivia contest.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: In the above episode, Stitch travels to the big city to participate in the dog show... and although he mostly keeps his destructive impulses with regards to large cities under
* [[Crossover]] - A series of episodes in which the characters from other Disney Channel shows came to visit the islands. The series also holds the honor of having the most crossovers in a Disney series, which include:
** ''[[Kim Possible]]''
** ''[[American Dragon: Jake Long]]''
** ''[[Recess]]''
** ''[[The Proud Family]]''
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Stitch generally has to fight his cousins before they'll accept being 'ohana'.
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]] - A lot of people are seen wearing sandals.
* [[Earthquake Machine]] - Richter (#513)
* [[Elemental Powers]] - Several of the experiments, most notably Yin (#501) and Yang (#502).
** In fact, the entire
* [[Evil Albino]] - Doctor
* [[Evil Redhead]] - Mertle
* [[Executive Meddling]] - Producers hated Angel and didn't want her to appear again. After finding out about her [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] status, they relented.
* [[Fastball Special]]: Stitch and Gantu in a rare [[Enemy Mine]] moment.
* [[Flanderization]]
Line 45 ⟶ 44:
** Jumba's broken English
** Stitch's destructive tendencies.
** Pleakley's cross dressing was also greatly exaggerated.
** Nani's attitude toward Stitch was hit the most. She even tries to get rid of him in "Phantasmo", which was stupid in and of itself.
*** And what about when she grounded him and Lilo in "Bonnie and Clyde" just because they, as Lilo puts it, "ran around the house and burp"? What The Hell, Writers?
Line 59 ⟶ 58:
* [[Hartman Hips]] - Nani, Myrtle's mom and aunt, and most of the women.
* [[Hypno Fool]] - Gantu, Lilo, Stitch, and some other random islanders in one episode; caused by Swirly (#383).
* [[I Choose to Stay]]: {{spoiler|Stitch, Jumba, and
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]] - Every episode title is the name of the featured experiment, except for "The Asteroid", "Bad Stitch", and "[[Kim Possible|Rufus]]".
* [[Idiot Ball]] - And how. Nearly every character gets a hold of it within the pilot movie alone.
Line 66 ⟶ 65:
* [[I Want You to Meet An Old Friend of Mine]] - Pleakley is voiced by Kevin MacDonald from [[The Kids in The Hall]]; when his family came to visit, his former castmates provided their voices. [[Cross-Dressing Voices|Scott Thompson was his mom, Bruce McCullough was his sister]] and Mark Mc Kinney was his brother. [[It Makes Sense in Context|And Dave Foley was the priest]].
* [[The Imp]] - Experiment 625
* [[Ink Suit Actor]] - [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] as a minstrel at a medieval festival.
** Regis Philbin and Glenn Shadix in other episodes.
* [[The Klutz]] - Woops. If he can't wreck something directly, he'll set off [[Disaster Dominoes|a chain reaction that ends with the target being wrecked]].
* [[Lethal Chef]] - Pleakley - who thinks dog food is incredibly convenient because "it makes its own gravy" - and to a lesser extent Nani.
Line 73 ⟶ 72:
* [[Love Potion]] - In the form of a hummingbird-like experiment pecking people - Hunkahunka (#323).
* [[Make a Wish]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]
** All of them except Stitch and Leroy, actually.
*** If looked at the right way, Stitch's name could refer to the fact that he indirectly patched up Lilo's family.
Line 80 ⟶ 79:
* [[Me's a Crowd]] - Dupe (#314), with the classic [[Conservation of Ninjutsu|"divide your abilities amongst the clones"]] side effect.
* [[The Men in Black]] - Cobra Bubbles
* [[Might
* [[Missing Episode]]: Disney Channel never aired the episode ''Lax'', which featured the gang from [[Recess]], most likely due to kids who watch that channel having no friggin clue who they were.
* [[Monster of the Week]] - With the Disney twist
** [[Monster of the Aesop]] - Ridiculously so; an episode about healthy eating has a chef experiment that cooks unhealthy food, an episode about cooperation has two radically different experiments that work together, etc.
* [[Monster Roommate]]
* [[Mons]] - The experiments can be thought of like this.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]] - Dr. <s>Hamster Wheel</s>
** Actually he looks more like a gerbil (hamsters don't have tails that big).
* [[Never My Fault]] - After Mertle activates Holio despite Lilo's warnings she blames Lilo for the whole thing.
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] - There's a montage of Stitch getting his ass kicked by Experiment 627 in one episode, including being electrocuted, used as a trampoline, and used as a literal punching bag.
* [[No Name Given]]
** Experiment 627.
** Inverted in Leroy from the [[Grand Finale]] - he is given a name but no number.
* [[Noodle Incident]]- in one episode, Pleakley remembers 'the incident with the giant chicken'.
* [[Off-Model]] - Gantu's height can range from just over twice Jumba's size to taller than two stories, and everything in between.
** It was stated by [[Word of God|the producers]] that Gantu's sudden shrinkage between [[Lilo and Stitch (Disney film)|the movie]] and the series was so that Gantu could appear in frame without ridiculously dwarfing anything he stood over. (That doesn't explain the variance in the series itself, however...)
* [[Plot Tailored to
* [[Poke the Poodle]]- Some of Jumba's experiments are like this (an experiment that steals people's desserts, another that annoys people by talking too much, etc.)
* [[Promotion to Parent]]
* [[Reunion Show]]: ''Fibber'', which, as mention above, features the ''[[Kids in The Hall]]'' cast as
* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]] David started talking like this after a wish-granting experiment had made him "the smartest person in the world". He was also practically incapable of speaking regularly.
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** In one episode, Lilo and a couple of Stitches (Duplication experiment, 'nuff said) try to do a levitation spell from ''[[The Craft]]''. Even reciting the incantation "Light as a feather, stiff as a board."
** One episode has Nani ending up in [[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?|Jessica Rabbit]]'s red dress.
* [[Spanner in
* [[Suck E. Cheese's]]
* [[Super Strength]] - Stitch, although he has been stated to not be able to lift one ounce over 3000 times his own weight (this weakness has been exploited by both of the main villains).
* [[The Ace]] - Even named Ace (#262), He has the
* [[Take That]] - Phantasmo (#375) acts suspiciously like [[The Simpsons (animation)|Bart Simpson]]... This is a [[Take That]] because in The Simpsons, Bart never gets any comeuppance for his behavior, so Phantasmo, who acts like him, also does not get any comeuppance until the end. This sets up the Aesop: [[Laser-Guided Karma|Don't blame others because you will be found out]].
** Adding to that is that Nancy Cartwright provided the noises of Phantasmo.
* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]: "Aloha E Komo Mai" would play without vocals in an upbeat form whenever Stitch or someone else was doing a lot of
* [[The Nicknamer]] - Jumba
** And Lilo herself, of course.
* [[The Unintelligible]] - Stitch's speech is very hard to understand, and most other experiments make animal or robotic noises.
* [[Trans
* [[True Companions]]: [[Catch Phrase|Ohana means family, and family means that no one gets left behind...or forgotten.]]
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]] - Many Hawaiians mistake Stitch and other experiments for normal Earth animals. They also mistake Gantu for a human foreigner [[Weirdness Censor|even when he's not]] wearing a [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]. Only two American tourists noticed Gantu and the experiments were aliens and when they complained to the mayor, even giving photographic evidence, he just shrugs it off as a hoax.
** In the Frenchfry episode, Kumu doesn't seem to find it odd that the now fat Lilo is shaped so unrealistically or how she gained so much weight in so little time.
** The ''[[American Dragon: Jake Long]]'' crossover stated they were in Hawaii to investigate reports of undisguised magical creatures, so apparently a few people noticed.
* [[Verbal Tic]] - Mertle has a habit of putting emphasis on words like me and my, [[Freudian Slip|showing how conceited she is]]. It's pretty subtle, but it's made more apparent when Lilo does it when she's hypnotised into acting like Mertle.
* [[Villain Team-Up]]: In "[[Crossover|Rufus]]",
** Sadly, fans were denied the opportunity to see Shego
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]] - Stitch has two. He cannot float or even swim in water, and he can lift only ''exactly'' 3000 times his own weight. To the point where [[Wafer-Thin Mint|if so much as a feather lands on his load, he drops the whole thing]].
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]] - Nosy calls Lilo out in "Snafu" for letting several Experiments go.
