Ohana

Just finished watching the Disney Movie Lilo and Stitch (again..).. The message of the movie was about Ohana and the extended Hawaiian families

At the beginning of the movie Lilo's 'ohana consists of herself and her sister, Nani. (Their parents had died in a car accident.) Gradually Stitch becomes the third member of their little "broken" family. By the time the movie ends, and in scenes from events which take place after the film, we see that their new 'ohana has added quite a few new members including Nani's boyfriend David, the social worker Cobra Bubbles and even the two aliens who were originally sent to capture Stitch, his creator Jumba and sociologist Pleakley.

As Lilo, in her own eloquent way says, "'Ohana means family. Family means no one is left behind - or forgotten."

A few lines from the movie:

Lilo: It was raining, and they went for a drive. What happened to yours? I hear you cry at night. Do you dream about them? I know that's why you wreck things, and push me.

Stitch: This is my family. I found it, all on my own. Is little, and broken, but still good. Yeah, still good.
