The director tried have Pleakley be a drag character like in the original, but it didn't work out.

I've seen it twice and I enjoyed it both times.

Spoiler:

I was surprised that Gantu wasn't in it and that Jumba was the villain, but these twists allowed it to stand on its own. I also wasn't expecting Nani to give custody of Lilo to her neighbor, but she will still be seeing Lilo often, thanks to the portal gun.

Considering how much money thing made (I have yet to see it by the way, it sounds like a giant insult to the original), I am morbidly curious about what the probable sequel is going to be. There are effectively two different second Lilo and Stitch movies, one is the glorified premiere of the TV show and the other is the one officially titled Lilo and Stitch 2. A direct remake of Lilo and Stitch 2 would at the very least fix the whole "Why don't Jumba just quarantine Stitch until he's cured?" thing because now he isn't in a situation where he can do that but I can't imagine them really fixing all the other problems with that movie without creating new ones. Then there is the glorified TV show premiere, which does introduce a real villain but is arguably an even worse movie and just ends in such a way that there would be way too many sequels promised. Of course I also fear that they would be Frankensteining these two sequels together and somehow using the worst elements of both... Gross...

Of course, that's assuming they won't have their own awful ideas of how to make sequel and just making up their own garbage... Ugh... In that case I suspect that they would (at most) use Hämsterviel from the TV show as the antagonist (as he is the closest thing to a true villain in the franchise) but really take nothing else except maybe Reuben. And you know what's funny? A direct sequel to the live-action remake that mostly ignores the sequels might somehow be both slightly better and way worse at the same time. I really want to be proven wrong here.

I really wanted to watch this film, but was spoiled by the ending. I really liked the original and its message and seemingly, that was thrown out the window. Just for fun, for movie day I showed my class the original and they enjoyed it. Maybe one day I’ll give the live action version a chance so that I can fairly judge it.

We're getting a sequel.

Well, I guess I'm getting answer to whether they'll remake the sequels, frankenstein them together or just make up something else...

Here's a funny and cute video of Stitch at Disneyland for its 70th anniversary celebration.

Interesting that they announced this right after Elio bombed like Dresden.

It has now become the first film of 2025 to gross $1 billion worldwide.

Fells kinda strange how the "Lilo and Stitch expanded universe" is actually considered here. Usually Disney tends to not really treat sequels and TV shows as being all that important or even canon to each other, an example of this would be how there is a Hercules comic that completely ignored that Icarus was a major character in the cartoon and just made up its own version of Icarus.
