First Look at Stitch in Disney's Live-Action LILO & STITCH Movie
Disney has released a little video online giving us our first look at the CG animated version of Stitch from the live-aciton Lilo & Stitch movie.
In the film, “Lilo is a lonely Hawaiian girl who adopts a small ugly ‘dog,’ whom she names Stitch. Stitch would be the perfect pet if he weren’t in reality a genetic experiment who has escaped from an alien planet and crash-landed on Earth.
“Through her love, faith, and unwavering belief in ohana, the Hawaiian concept of family, Lilo helps unlock Stitch’s heart and gives him the ability to care for someone else.”
The cast includes newcomer Maia Kealoha, who is playing Lilo; Billy Magnussen as the one-eyed alien Pleakley, Sydney Elizabeth Agudong (NCIS) as Nani, Lilo’s older sister and legal guardian, the original voice of Nani, Tia Carrere, will be portraying a new character named Mrs. Kekoa, while actress Amy Hill, who played Mrs. Hasagawa in the animated movie and series, will play a new character named Tūtū.
Zach Galifianakis is also starring and confirmed to be playing Stitch’s scientist creator, Jumba.
Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell With Shoes On) is directing the remake that will be a major release on Disney+. Chris Kekaniokalani Bright wrote the script for the adaptation.
