In Support of Disney's Live-Action Lilo & Stitch

      EJ Moreno presents a video discussing why the Lilo & Stitch remake is successful. Director Dean Fleischer Camp faced a more difficult challenge in bringing Lilo & Stitch to life than I had initially realized. Not only was it nearly impossible to translate the vibrant visuals and engaging characters, but I was also unaware of the film's passionate (and fervent) fanbase.

      Following its opening weekend, the response to Disney’s latest live-action adaptation isn't surprising, yet it's hard to ignore this sense of misplaced frustration. With Nani receiving a more substantial role and a more streamlined conclusion, Lilo & Stitch demonstrates that a compelling story transcends its format. It succeeded in animation and performs equally well here.

      Though not everyone shares this viewpoint, here’s our video advocating for what could easily become Disney’s most cherished live-action adaptation.

      “A live-action reimagining of Disney’s 2002 animated classic, 'Lilo & Stitch' is the wildly humorous and heartfelt tale of a lonely Hawaiian girl and the runaway alien who aids in healing her fractured family.” Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, Lilo & Stitch features Sydney Elizebeth Agudong, Billy Magnussen, Tia Carrere, Hannah Waddingham, Chris Sanders, with Courtney B. Vance, and Zach Galifianakis, and introduces Maia Kealoha.
