"Retro" is the fiftieth episodenote of Lilo & Stitch: The Series. It first aired on May 20, 2005.
The experiment of the episode:
- Retro (X-210): A small, brownish-orange, mammalian/reptilian dinosaur-like experiment who is designed to reduce people, animals, enemy weapons, and technology to their most primitive states.
Tropes featured in this episode include:
- Be Yourself: Basically the moral of the story. Lilo insists that Nani come clean with her middle school friends that she's not the vice president of the business she works for.
- Extinct Animal Park: Experiment 210 can devolve creatures by wrapping them up with its tongue and spinning them around. After being reformed, he's sent to a zoo where he uses his ability to turn the animals there into dinosaurs to attract visitors.
- The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: A T. rex appears at the end, roaring and walking towards the viewer as the episode Fades to Black.
- Imagine Spot: Nani has one imagining that if she introduces her family as is, they will come up to her friends and outright oust her as a fraud. Towards the end, Lilo comes up and asks "Have you met my lying sister?"
- What the Hell, Hero?: Lilo isn't impressed that Nani would want to put up a façade as a rich, successful person in order to look good in front of the latter's friends.
