Lilo and the Boy in Need

 Saturday: Lilo and Stitch (2025)

      The story is pretty much the same as the animated version. There are some new characters like a neighbor and a social worker. Nani has dreams of going to college to study marine biology. I thought the movie was good for the most part. The actress they got to play Lilo is perfect. She is super cute and chaotic. Stitch was also well done. The original voice actor for Stitch came back to voice him for this movie. I wasn't sure at first about the actress playing Nani, but she did a good job. Speaking of Nani, the actress who played the social worker is the original voice of Nani from the animated version. Pleakley and Jumba were alright. Pleakley wasn't in drag like in the animated which was a little disappointing. But he did wear some feminine clothes so at least there's that. Still prefer the animated version.

Sunday: Men of Boys Town (1941)

        Father Flanagan ambitiously builds several new buildings in Boys Town without having all the financing taken care of. Boys Town could be in trouble. Father Flanagan is called out of town to help with a murder case involving a young boy. The young boy, Ted, shot and killed a guard of his reform school after he was beaten so badly he can't walk. Father Flanagan is determined to help him. So he brings him to Boys Town. Ted doesn't trust anyone and refuses to see anymore doctors. Father Flanagan enlists Whitey's help to cheer Ted up. Whitey has his own adventure when he is adopted and then accidentally ends up in the reform school after trying to help a runaway. This movie was alright. It is the sequel to Boys Town. I looked it up on here. It was one of the first movies I wrote about on this blog.
