An update of an animated Disney film tops the DVD releases for the week of Aug. 26.

"Lilo & Stitch": A dangerously cute alien crash-lands in Hawaii and befriends a lonely young girl while evading extraterrestrial authorities.

"Finally, a genuinely appealing Disney live-action remake," writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. "So far, these reimaginings of classic animated films have been a mixed bag of uncanny photorealistic computer-generated animals ('The Lion King'), surreal fairy-tale hellscapes ('Beauty and the Beast,' 'Snow White'), scary circus movies ('Pinocchio'), and wobbly adventure musicals ('Aladdin'). In their ambitious scale and scope, none evoked the charm of the beloved original animated films. But the new remake of 'Lilo & Stitch' sings with heart and humor, maintaining the aloha spirit of the original."
