- Creation: Stitch, also known as Experiment 626, was created by Dr. Jumba Jookiba. Therefore, his “age” begins from that moment.
- In the plot: In the “Lilo & Stitch” story, Stitch is relatively “young” in terms of his existence as an experiment. He’s recently created when he encounters Lilo.
What is Stitch’s story, and how did he arrive on Earth?
Stitch was created by Dr. Jumba Jookiba as an illegal genetic experiment. After escaping from the Galactic Federation, he lands on Earth, specifically on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, where he is adopted by Lilo, a lonely girl. Stitch’s story is one of redemption and acceptance, showing how a creature designed for destruction can find his place in the world through love and friendship.
