WATCH ‘LILO AND STITCH’ NOW ON DISNEY+

Disney’s animated classic tells a charming story about a girl with poor social skills and an alien created to destroy planets who manage to form a very special friendship on an island in Hawaii. Fans of ‘Lilo and Stitch’ already know that it’s much more than just a fun children’s movie: It’s a moving and emotional story of personal acceptance, unconditional friendship and family above all (almost as much as in ‘Fast and Furious’).

After earning more than $250 million at the worldwide box office, ‘Lilo & Stitch’ instantly became a favorite of the new generation of Disney animated classics, and the mischievous blue alien is today one of the most popular mascots in the merchandising of the company. The film spawned a total of three direct-to-video sequels (better ignore them, honestly), a Disney Channel TV series, and even an 86-episode Japanese anime series.

It seems that it was released last year, but ‘Lilo & Stitch’ is already more than 20 years old and the mouse company has decided that it is time to make one of its live-action remakes of Disney with Dean Fleischer-Camp, the director of the recently nominated Oscar Award ‘Marcel, the shell with shoes’.

Zach galifianakis (‘The Hangover’) was the first person to join the project at the beginning of 2023, and although the first rumors suggested that he would be the voice of the alien protagonist, everything seems to indicate that chris sanders will once again put his iconic and characteristic voice at the service of Stitch’s madness.

Galifianakis is likely to play one of the two alien hunters trying to hunt down the missing alien, Jumba and Pleakley. the other could be Billy Magnussenwho we recently saw in the live-action remake of ‘Aladdin’, which has also been announced in a role to be confirmed.
