Here's a positive review at DVDFanatic.com

For the movie itself, I think it is surprisingly good. Stitch! The Movie entertains its audience with great comic relief, and actually has a decent moral to its story.

...My final verdict: Stitch! The Movie is definitely worth buying for any family with young kids.

Here's another fairly positive review:

http://www.dvdmg.com/stitchthemovie.shtml
"Stitch! The Movie doesn’t seem as entertaining as its theatrical predecessor, and it also doesn’t match up with Disney’s other theatrical releases. However, it works much better than the average direct-to-video flick, and it provides a reasonable amount of fun."

In the Spanish dub Stitchspeak is done in the exact same manner as the Joanna lizardspeak in Rescuers Down Under (likely the same person), and probably the same "cute" creature gibberish as in other films I'm not really interested in researching (maybe the fuzzy thing in Black Cauldron, and probably others).

Inga Tu Schmista sounds vaguely obscene in Spanish also. Probably was meant to be, such as Slartibartfast's name in HHGTTG.

That's sad about Stitch speak in Spanish but oh well.

I gotta tell ya, I saw a commercial for this one and the animation looked HORRIBLE. What I saw in those brief clips was enough to convince me that this one just isn't worth the $$.

I may be shallow, afterall, looks aren't everything right?
But I will hold steadfast to my belief that if Disney expects me to pay the same amount for a DTV film on DVD that I would a standard DVD release then I expect THEM to deliver the quality I would expect as a consumer.

I have to agree with you on everything, I feel a little shallow but the animation looked really bad and the script seemed weak, especially the pineapple and coffee parts. But I don't know anymore.
