The third TV series and second major Spin-Off in the Lilo & Stitch franchise, Stitch & Ainote 安玲与史迪奇; Ān líng yǔ shǐ dí qí; literally "An Ling and Stitch" (2017) is Disney's entrance to the Chinese animation market. Produced by Anhui Xinhua Media and Panimation Hwakai Media, this series is similar to the Stitch! anime before it, as Stitch is again separated from Lilo Pelekai and ends up in a different region of Earth. However, unlike the anime, this show had the assistance of American animators (including Lilo & Stitch: The Series executive producer Tony Craig serving as director) and was produced in English first before being dubbed into its local language (Mandarin Chinese).Set on a timeline that takes place after the events of Leroy & Stitch,note whether it takes place on the same timeline as the anime is ambiguous, but this show was produced without any consideration towards the previous one Stitch is kidnapped from Lilo by a warring alien faction known as the Jaboodies. They want to use him and his power in their space war against a rival faction, the Woolagongs, after hacking data from the United Galactic Federation's data systems about an ability that was programmed into Experiment 626 that makes him even more destructive than what was known before. The Woolagongs themselves hacked into the Jaboodies' systems not long afterward and got the same data. They attacked the Jaboodies' battle cruiser wanting Stitch for themselves, but their attack allowed Stitch to break free and escape back to Earth in the fight.Upon reentering Earth's atmosphere, he lands in China's Huangshan mountains where he meets Wang Ai Ling, a young Chinese girl who lives with her older sister Jiejie in the mountains. The sisters lost their parents roughly a year prior to the events of this series. They had just been told by the two sisters' snooty, mountain-hating, mysophobe aunt Daiyu that she will move Ai out of the mountains and into the big city, believing Jiejie to be incapable of being Ai's guardian and that the city is not only "cleaner" but also better for Ai's personal growth into a "proper lady". But the mountain-loving sisters are resistant to the idea, especially as their family has lived in the mountains for generations. When Stitch and Ai meet, they quickly bond, with Ai becoming truly happy for the first time since the loss of her parents, and she takes Stitch into her family as her new "pet". From there, the two help each other deal with their problems; Stitch—along with Jumba and Pleakley later on after they are sent by the United Galactic Federation to rescue Stitch, only to stay to keep five eyes on him—helps Ai stay in the mountains, while she helps him ward off the Jaboodies and the Woolagongs, who are still going after him and will not stop until one side gains control of 626 and use him to win the war, as well as help him looking for a shrine in visions he's had since landing on Earth again.Oh, and as for the experiments that have been featured in the first two shows, Stitch's predecessor "cousins" don't show up this time. However, Jumba gets inspired by what he reads on ancient Chinese scrolls given to him by a wise sage, creating several new experiments based on those found in Chinese Mythology in the process who help Stitch and company on his adventures in the mountains.The series debuted with the Mandarin dub on CCTV-1 and CCTV-14 on March 27, 2017, running through April 6. It made its English debut on Disney Channel Asia on February 5, 2018, and all episodes of the show aired throughout that month, finishing on the 27th. The series made its American debut on the DisneyNow service on December 1, 2018, with all but the ninth episode ("The Phoenix") released for free viewing for everyone living in the United States, including those without a TV provider. However, it was removed from the service by June 2019. The show also ended up being the shortest-lived TV entry in the Lilo & Stitch franchise, as only one thirteen-episode season was ever produced despite a major lingering plot thread. | |

The Call Knows Where You Live: Despite Stitch escaping both of them, the Jaboodies and the Woolagongs quickly managed to follow him to Huangshan. Throughout the show, it's shown that they know Stitch is living at Ai's house and have sent robots and agents to either spy on him or capture him, although he kept thwarting their efforts until the Jaboodies send the Tetra-Tab to Ai's house and give Stitch a new "brother" in the form of Scratch, who successfully manipulates Stitch into triggering his destructive programming and metamorphosis program. | |

Evil Versus Evil: Two rival factions of space criminals, the Jaboodies and the Woolagongs, are fighting over Stitch so either of them can win a war and take over the galaxy. Both of their factions are equal in strength and are locked in a stalemate, and they both want Stitch so they can force him to use his metamorphosis program to destroy their enemies on their behalf. | |

Alternate Timeline: At least for the post-Leroy & Stitch continuity; although it was initially believed that it takes place between that film and the Stitch! anime, it was actually produced without any consideration towards the latter work. Thus, this series does not lead into the anime at any given point. | |

The New '10s: This series is set during this decade, as Earth smartphones appear in the show. An Exploding Calendar that appears in the episode "Dragon Parade" more or less confirms that the series takes place in 2016 from at least that episode onwards.note The calendar appears during a montage of the town preparing for the Chinese New Year festival, showing dates being crossed off beginning from February 3, with February 8 having been circled as the date of the Chinese New Year and a February 29, a.k.a. Leap Day, appearing. 2016, which was a leap year, is the most recent year to have Chinese New Year be on February 8, which won't happen again until 2035. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Stitch & Ai (Animation) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: This show really likes to recall past works in the franchise. Ice Cream Man comes back and still loses his ice cream. Although in the first episode, he's actually not the real Ice Cream Man. A bullfrog appears in Ai's classroom in the second episode, "Teacher's Pet", narrowing avoiding injury and just croaking absent-mindedly just like past bullfrogs in the franchise. Also, in the storyboards of the second episode, Stitch gets a chainsaw and uses it to fight an alien. Even the intro to Lilo & Stitch: The Series◊ gets a reference as Stitch & Ai has those bars where the show's characters are seen running and chasing after each other.◊ | |

She does not get concerned about why "Ai" is suddenly wearing such different clothes. When they arrive, Stitch reveals himself, scaring Daiyu enough to cause her to faint, and hitches a ride on a truck to head back to the mountains. | |

By the time they arrive, they find Ai standing in the middle of a destroyed classroom and her teacher Mr. Liu dazed and confused (a result of her and Stitch's fight with an alien that possessed Mr. Liu). From there, Daiyu gives Ai an hour to prepare to move to the city. | |

Wistful Amnesia | |
| Stitch & Ai (Animation) / int_860c8ce3 | comment |
Wistful Amnesia: For some reason, hypercognitive Stitch has trouble remembering Lilo, as his memories of his past life with her are only vague, though he clearly remembers Jumba and Pleakley before he even reunited with them. Ai explains in the cold open of "The Lock" that this is because the special qi energy that protected Stitch when he re-entered Earth's atmosphere caused him to lose his memory. This explanation is probably used to establish why Stitch seems to be in no hurry to return to Lilo while (supposedly) trying to avoid betraying the meaning of the ʻohana motto, since he does at least somewhat remember her. | |

As You Know: The Grand Council scene in "Gotcha!" has the Grand Councilwoman and Captain Gantu relay information about Stitch to Jumba and Pleakley, not only relaying past moments in the franchise (primarily as depicted in the original film and the "Creation of 626" scene in Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch) but also to provide backstory as to why Stitch is being sought after in this series, especially with the newly-added detail of the metamorphosis program. | |

Planet Heck: Should Jumba and Pleakley fail to retrieve Stitch, the Grand Councilwoman threatens to send the two to Eternal 12, a volcanic planet serving as a work camp that has devil-like aliens watching over its prisoners. | |

Stealth Sequel: Averted; Lilo is explicitly shown in flashbacks, while Gantu is again with the Galactic Council, quickly establishing this show as taking place after the original Western continuity. | |

Retcon | |
| Stitch & Ai (Animation) / int_b2280b66 | comment |
Retcon: The revision mentioned above also causes this to past works. According to the United Galactic Federation's analysts, Stitch is "too small" to be capable of destroying cities, hence why Jumba programmed the metamorphosis code in Stitch, which makes the experiment capable of destroying entire planets and even star systems. However, the Lilo & Stitch: The Series episode "Short Stuff" directly contradicts this series by showing that Stitch is actually less capable of (intentional) destruction as a giant as he becomes a lot clumsier when he's enlarged (even though Stitch's method of enlargement back then differs from the method seen in this series), and Jumba explicitly tells Stitch with full sincerity that he was "made to operate at peak efficiency only at [his] exact, original [smaller] size".note Besides that, a deleted version of the original film's prologue showed exactly how Stitch is capable of destroying cities at his small size; not only is he strong, durable, and hypercognitive, he's quick and nimble as well, all of which are well-established in the officially shown animated canon. | |

| Stitch & Ai (Animation) / int_b38b6147 | comment |
Science Fantasy: Like the Stitch! anime, this show mixes the Lilo & Stitch franchise's brand of science fiction with the local mythology of a region, with Chinese Mythology being implemented this time around. This show tries to be more of a blend of both aspects than the anime did (which took an "aliens meet magical and mythological beings" approach), such as the new experiments Jumba resembling Chinese mythological creatures rather than actually being such creatures (at least, according to Word of God). | |

Market-Based Title | |
| Stitch & Ai (Animation) / int_b9c673a6 | comment |
Market-Based Title: When the show was available for streaming in the United States, DisneyNow promoted the eleventh episode ("Nuo Opera") as "Creatures", likely because most American audiences don't know what a nuo opera is, and it just so happens that a lot of creatures (i.e. experiments) are made during the events of this episode. | |

Mate or Die: A variant not involving death; in the fifth episode "Spirals", Jumba creates a dragon that becomes disobedient. He then realizes that it needs a mate or it will turn evil for a century. Thus, Jumba creates a mate for the dragon. | |

Don't Split Us Up | |

Don't Split Us Up: When Jumba puts Stitch in a containment capsule to take him back to the United Galactic Federation, Ai completely breaks down over the prospect of being separated from Stitch. Jiejie angrily and passionately argues to Jumba and Pleakley that her sister never forgets those she loves and that Stitch should continue living with Ai. Jumba then decides to release Stitch and lets him stay with her. He and Pleakley also stick around to keep an eye on the experiment, of course. Likewise, both Ai and Jiejie do not want to be separated from each other by their aunt Daiyu, who is much less receptive to their pleas. In the second episode alone, it takes Stitch tricking Daiyu into thinking that he's Ai in order to keep the Wang sisters together. | |

New Powers as the Plot Demands | |
| Stitch & Ai (Animation) / int_c26e2b1 | comment |
New Powers as the Plot Demands: Stitch's new Kaiju-like destructive mode◊ and the metamorphosis program in this series. Tony Craig relayed this reason to a Lilo & Stitch fan on Facebook as to why Stitch has this new power. The In-Universe justification for the metamorphosis program is that Stitch is apparently "too small" to destroy a city. Subverted in "Tell the World" when Stitch shows that he can grow quills around his head to make himself look scarier. He does this at random when Ai presents her town's shishi for her video, but she says he's not scary and he retracts the quills back into himself. Also subverted in "The Phoenix" when the two alien hunters in the episode trap the titular phoenix near the abandoned shrine that it was looking for and use a weapon to levitate the entire ground the shrine stands on. Stitch, Ai, and Bao use a hang glider to go after them; although the glider carries the three's combined weight just fine, Stitch decides to jump off the glider. As he freefalls, he suddenly grows a patagium between his (upper, non-retractable) arms and hips so he can glide through the air like a flying squirrel. There wasn't any real need for him to do that; the only reason he does this is so he can have a little fun. | |

Non-Standard Character Design | |
| Stitch & Ai (Animation) / int_c55c31e2 | comment |
Non-Standard Character Design: Subverted with the new human and non-experiment alien characters, as they are designed similarly to those seen in the films and Lilo & Stitch: The Series. However, most of the new experiments on this show don't look like traditional experiments for the most part, and the ones that do resemble such have much more complex designs. | |

Flanderization | |
| Stitch & Ai (Animation) / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: After the anime had Stitch speaking increasingly fluent English (in the dub), his speech reverts back to being predominantly Tantalog with somewhat broken and childish-sounding English, even speaking English slower than even his weakest English-speaking moments in Lilo & Stitch: The Series. This is despite the fact that he's clearly been on Earth for a good while before the events of this show, as it takes place around 2016 instead of the early-to-mid 2000s of the four films and first series. Additionally, some of Stitch's prior Character Development is undone (though he's still on the side of good as before) and his temper and misbehavior flares up a bit more. | |

Downer Beginning: For both title characters in the first episode: Stitch has been captured by an evil alien faction who plans to use him to win a war against a rival alien faction, who just so happens to also want and use him for the same thing. Although he manages to escape them for now, he still ends up far from his home in Kauaʻi and—as revealed in the sixth episode—also lost much of his memories of his old life there when he re-entered Earth's atmosphere. Ai, who is still affected by the loss of her and her sister's parents the year prior, is suddenly told by her aunt that she will be moving away from her older sister and her home in the mountains to live in the city, despite her protests. | |
