"Lilo and Me" is a sort of short documentary film about Kip Fulbeck and his life desire to fit in with a racial group. Fulbeck brings the audience into his family by playing various recordings of phone calls with his mother and his father. Fulbeck then goes on, explaining how growing up with an Asian mother and Caucasian father had left him with a sense of uncertainty as a child. Fulbeck humorously talks about the Disney characters that allegedly look like him. Pocahontas, Aladdin, Mowgli, and obviously Lilo are some of the "ethnically ambiguous" Disney characters with whom Fulbeck identifies. I would recommend this film - it's quite clever and very funny.
