When Gantu notices Cannonball passing by, he says, "Just follow the bouncing abomination." This is a reference to the bouncing ball seen in sing-along videos in which viewers follow an animated ball that bounces across the top of the lyrics, landing on each syllable when it is to be sung. Moral: Dealing with death and loss is very tough to do on your own, so it's important to face reality with the help and support of loved ones.

It first aired on April 22 (Earth Day), 2005. One of the locations seen in the episode (that Cannonball almost jumps into) is the Waita Reservoir, a real-life water reservoir located in the south of Kaua‘i. It is Hawaii's second-largest body of fresh water in surface area, with only Halali‘i Lake on Ni‘ihau being larger. Stitch is seen wearing his superhero costume that consists of all stolen items: a pair of red sunglasses, a red towel, a green bikini top, and a letter S (from the PARADISE POOL sign).

Lilo & Stitch (2002) takes place in Hawaii and follows the story of Lilo, a young and parentless girl who adopts Stitch from the local pound, absolutely oblivious to the fact Stitch is an alien experiment that landed on Earth and is now hiding from its creators and those who see it as a menace. Afterwards, Jumba gives 276 a reprogramming and finds his one true place as a virtual reality game at the local arcade. Meanwhile, Lilo, Stitch and Nani have a picnic on the beach with David.Lilo called the hula teacher "Mr. Petuli" in this episode, though she did later refer to him by his actual first name, Moses. Lilo tells Nani they need to borrow her car to catch the experiment, but she refuses, and heads off to work. Jumba asks about the experiment that is loose, and Lilo describes it. Jumba tells her that Experiment 520 turns any body of water into a tidal wave. He adds that if it gets to the ocean, it will cause a tsunami that will destroy the world. To help them find the experiment faster, Jumba unveils his new X-Buggy, made from Nani's old dune buggy. Pleakley insists that the pair at least being some food with them on their mission and gives them a whole pineapple. Broken Aesop: How does Lilo defeat the experiment designed to spread pollution? Aerosol-based air fresheners, which were historically bad for the environment as they often use ozone-depleting chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons as their primary propellants. This is the only episode in the series where Nani is seen in her iconic blue-and-green striped bikini from the original movie. She wore it twice in this episode: first at the Birds of Paradise Hotel pool, and later at the beach near the end of the episode.

Purple Is Powerful: The first three experiments Lilo gets to fight Ploot all happen to be strong, purple-bodied experiments. Subverted in that they're not strong enough to defeat the giant Ploot. A little bird notices an experiment pod in its nest. It flings it out, and the pod lands in a nearby lake. When the experiment activates, it causes the water to form a massive wave that washes over the nearby area. The experiment hops away on his large bottom, making his way towards the beach.Ohana means family—and as your pop-culture-loving-family over here at Hot Topic, we’re going to make sure you’re not left behind on your must-have Disney Lilo & Stitch merch, apparel, accessories, and fan favorites.
