Disney Interactive Provides Out-of-This-World Fun With Games Inspired by Walt Disney Pictures' Upcoming Feature Film Lilo & Stitch

Interactive Lilo & Stitch Titles for Game Boy Advance, PC and Macintosh Now Available

Disney Interactive is launching three new out-of-this-world titles inspired by Walt Disney Pictures' upcoming animated feature, Disney's Lilo & Stitch, including Disney's Lilo & Stitch for Game Boy Advance®, Disney's Lilo & Stitch Trouble in Paradise Action Game for PC and Disney's Lilo & Stitch's Hawaiian Adventure Junior Game for PC and Mac. Available now, all ages can enjoy extraterrestrial fun with the galaxy's most wanted alien and other lovable characters from the film that opens nationwide June 21.

Combining whimsical, unforgettable characters, an imaginative and offbeat story, and colorful artistry, Walt Disney Pictures' delightful new animated comedy, Lilo & Stitch, tells a captivating tale of a young girl's close encounter with the galaxy's most wanted extraterrestrial. Lilo is a lonely Hawaiian girl who adopts a small ugly "dog," whom she names Stitch. Stitch would be the perfect pet if he weren't, in reality, a genetic experiment that has escaped from an alien planet and crash-landed on Earth. Through her love and unwavering faith in "ohana" (the Hawaiian concept of family), Lilo helps unlock Stitch's heart and gives him the one thing he was never designed to have -- the ability to care for someone else. With its lush tropical setting, unique sense of humor, and classic songs by Elvis Presley, Lilo & Stitch promises to capture imaginations everywhere.

Each Lilo & Stitch title provides a different gaming experience, and engages children with a fun, entertaining and compelling story line that allows them to relive their movie-going experience through interactive play. Kids can join up with their favorite characters from the film as they guide the dynamic duo through various adventures set in beautiful Hawaiian locals. Available titles include:

Disney's Lilo & Stitch for Game Boy Advance

Disney's Lilo & Stitch for Game Boy Advance takes the adventure of Lilo & Stitch to another world with an exciting combination of action and puzzle-solving game play. Taking place after the events of the film, Stitch is unleashed on a mission to rescue Lilo, who has been kidnapped by the evil Dr. Pestus and his army of aliens.

Assuming the roles of Lilo and Stitch, kids are presented with three distinct types of character- and vehicle-based game play that will have Stitch fighting battles on the ground and in outer space, and Lilo sneaking her way to freedom. Players must travel through 13 levels of bizarre unknown worlds in search of one another as they outsmart Bounty Hunter Bob, race cruisers and set aliens free on their way to the final battle against Dr. Pestus. Players can also rekindle their excitement for the feature animation as they unlock and view movie stills and up to four Disney-quality clips taken directly from the film and incorporated into the game.
