It however does not cast Social Services in a bad light. Cobra Bubbles does a lot to try to keep Lilo in Nani’s custody and I hate how overlooked that is. He legit shows remorse when he does try to take Lilo, which he only did because of her very reasonibly alarming phone call and the destruction of their house.
Point is they didn’t make social services into a heartless judgy entitythey actually made a good point about how a system originally designed to be consistent and fair can also lack the sensitivity and flexibility needed to deal with complex situations. this is shown both when Stitch is labeled a monster and when Nani is judged for not being able to earn a living and constantly watch Lilo at the same time. Neither happened because the people making the calls were cruel–Bubbles and the Grand Councilwoman seem to mean well, but both were expected to make judgments very quickly by their organizations… and both used loopholes to make kinder, fairer decisions for our heroes.
Also community support. Bubbles is still around being friendly with Nani and Lilo, and tbh once Nani got the help she needed she was fine. Tbh when I watched the movie I got HELLA frustrated with those that turned Nani down for a job due to the shenanigans of Lilo and Stitch. Did they think that would be all the time? Surely they understood that Nani wouldn’t always have them. And what about those around her that were friends and family? Could David not have stopped surfing for a day to watch Lilo while Nani went out job hunting? It really hammered home how if you know someone needs help maybe a day of helping them would be all they need.
Found family, community support, no real villain…Lilo and Stitch was perfection.
