The original was perfect. No one needs this.
No one needs any of the live action remakes. They all suck massively compared to the originals.
They spend all this money on live action, but Animation not only looks better, its what most people seem to want.
The goal isn’t for people to like the live action, but to hold onto their copyright.
Not in this case. Lilo and Stitch is only 23 years old, the copyright isn’t close to expiring.
The goal is to make a lot of money, because people will go see these movies. All these Disney live action remakes have made a ton of money.
I think people are mixing up copyright up with what Sony does with Spider-Man due to licensing terms. Like not only does copyright last damn near forever, you don’t need to keep releasing stuff to renew it and it doesn’t just go away because you aren’t using it.
There’s also a lot of confusion with trademarks. People will often defend big corporations threatening fan art because they “have to defend it or lose their copyright”, which is a trademark thing and not copyright.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to release a direct-to-streaming animated sequel/spin-off?
My guess is no?
We used to have direct to VHS/DVD sequels to a lot of Disney films. In fact Lilo & Stich had both a film and TV series.
I’m guessing someone ran the numbers and remaking existing films must be the most profitable. Plus I’m guessing the watch numbers for older content, like Lilo & Stich and sequels, increases which improves Disney+ retention.
My expectations werent high but given these remakes are often 1:1 to originals, I was looking forward to at least seeing Jumbaa. And then they made Jumbaa and Pleakley just regular humans. Boriiiing.
Downside with live action I guess; in the cartoon the disguises are paper-thin but their human clothing is sufficient. Live action uncanny value takes that away from us; they can’t even pull it off with Stitch (really highlights “blue koala with bin-lid mouth”).
So are we not getting scenes where Jumbaa is so large, heavy, and strong that he causes damage or gets stuck? Where rubbery flexible Pleakley responds to physics or his wibdmilling arms when he panics? Jumbaa and Pleakley are never going to fight over sharing a wig (anf well never see it perched delicately on Jumbaa’s head) because they’ll simply never use one.
Ruins the fun when you take aliens put of the movie about aliens imo.
Nani ain’t even thicc
Unwatchable.
Ruined
This actually looks pretty decent. I’d enjoy it…
… if I hadn’t seen the original already.
So pointless by Disney.
Well that was awful.
I think the new team didn’t get the point of the shave ice scene.
I don’t know but I loved it, cant wait to watch it.
