Lilo is not weird

I really didn't think Lilo was weird for a little kid at all. Quirky perhaps but mostly she just had a big imagination.

It's not just that she's weird in the other kids' eyes, it's also that here parents are dead and they don't know how to act around her.

Exactly. I personally loved Lilo, I thought that she was just adorable and I loved how imaginative she was. But she's still like 6-7 or so, she's lost both of her parents, and has the stress of her sister being more of a mother figure, and knowing that she could be taken away by child services. That's a lot for a little kid to take, might be part of the reason why she had such a wild imagination. I loved Lilo though, she seemed like just the sort of kid I'd have wanted to hang out with when I was that age.

She IS weird. So what? Almost all of these replies say "she was out of the norm, but she wasn't weird." What is weird, if not out of the ordinary? And why is weird bad, so she has to be not weird?

Forgive me for not leaping for joy, bad back, you know.

Lilo is not weird.

Lilo is no weird, she had his deep sense of own logic.

The truth is about the fact she doesn't want her sister as parental replacement. She keeps the flame of her parents's memory like a precious treasure.
And weirdly for the viewers, she considers herself as Nani's parents and the mother of Stitch, that's the spice of the movie, salty, spicy and sweet-bitter in the same time.

I'm probably going to get a lot of flack for this, but I found her to be quite weird, actually. I don't dislike her (heck, I feel the rather opposite), but she does have some weird personality-traits who makes her odd; Giving food to a fish because it controls the weather, having an odd doll, practicing woodo, believing in wampires, believing that the group of girls that exclude her are friends (heck, which such friends, who needs enemies?). And last, but not least adapting a dog like Stitch. Anyone who has to adapt such a strange, hostile creature would be a little crazy, so yeah, it makes Lilo definitively a little weird. I personally like her, but she's weird indeed.
