The live-action 'Lilo & Stitch' adaptation fundamentally misunderstands what made the chaotic blue alien appealing in the original.
Despite Snow White underperforming and losing the studio millions, Disney seems very confident in its live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch – enough to consider sequels, anyway.
The studio's retelling of the 2002 original flattens its fuzzy blue protagonist – but could still be a box office smash
Zach Galifianakis, Hannah Waddingham and Billy Magnussen are among the stars of this new take on the 2002 animated film.
Despite Lilo & Stitch succeeding where other Disney live-action remakes have failed, the plot is weighed down by real-world implications.
Director Dean Fleischer Camp delivers the same laughs and heart as 2002's 'Lilo & Stitch,' though his leads were more appealing in animated form.
