The live-action retelling of Disney's 'Lilo & Stitch' retains much of the original's charm but lacks fresh creativity. The vibrant performances by Maia Kealoha as Lilo and Sydney Elizebeth Agudong as Nani bring life to the film amidst its adherence to the original's structure. Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, the film starts with a shot-for-shot remake of the original's prologue, leaving little room for new interpretations. While Stitch appears cuter than ever, the film ultimately feels like a nostalgia-driven copy rather than an innovative reimagining.
In a frantically paced remake so uninterested in veering from the blueprint that it apes the original right down to dialogue, camera moves and the exact same needle drops.
Director Dean Fleischer Camp, who milked genuine emotion from an unlikely protagonist in 2021's Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, opens the film by speeding through a shot-for-shot reenactment of the original prologue.
