These feels like it could be a home run… but the remakes have been very hit or miss and we’re also dealing with the wildcard of a child actor in a lead role for this film. She could be great, but that’s to be determined.

They look so adorable, they really nailed the design for Stitch! I just hope the movie is good lol

Is this still rumored (or confirmed, I can't remember) to be directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, the mind behind Marcel the Shell with Shoes On? If it still is, I have faith in it. That movie is such a sweet and poignant story about family, loss, and change.

Yes he's confirmed to be directing it.

Lilo isn't even wearing her iconic outfit... but that's just me nitpicking lol

Also, I have to check, but I don't remember the car being pink.

At least they've got returning voice talent, so that's a plus. But we better see Lilo hit Myrtle & bite her after the mom comment, complete with stitch whipping out the camera

Does anyone else think this will get upgraded to theatrical in the wake of the Moana news? Especially considering that Stitch is one of the biggest bankable characters overseas?

Could be this September depending on how much they got done before the strikes. It think if they're desperate enough to reconfigure a tv show into a movie, then there's no reason to keep it on streaming (unless it's bad).

I seem to remember at one point the plan was to have this movie as a D+ original. Wonder what gave them confidence to switch it to a theatrical release.

Probably the fact that Stitch is a very popular character, especially in Asia.

The same reason why most films are no longer going straight to streaming....The studios has to take up the full production costs while with theatrical they can still get some money from the theatres

Yeah, Disney Streaming just became profitable for the first time and a big part of that (on top of price hikes) is no shelling out $100M-$200M just to throw a film straight to streaming anymore.

Disney+ has only released eight D+ original films since the beginning of 2023 and only two this year. Daisy Ridley's Young Woman And The Sea was just recently released and while being a Disney+ film, even that film had a small theatrical run.

Disney learned the wrong lesson from Chip & Dale - old ugly Sonic is not endearing.

Well, Stitch looks good.
