The film was generally panned, and critic Chuck Wilson called it "a fascinating meeting of equals — if the child she is star challenged the master to a game of stare-down, the legend might very well blink first." she voiced Lilo (succeeding Daveigh Chase) in the direct-to-video film Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch. She also had a small part in the Rodrigo Garcia film Nine Lives (released in October 2005), in which she shared an unbroken nine-minute scene with actress Glenn Close, who had her own praise: "She's definitely an old soul. She's one of those gifted people that come along every now and then."
