This movie had many flaws but the worst one is where they make a big deal out of neutering him at the pound and put him in pink dress with heels. That was way too much and my little siblings were confused. Fucking weird especially when we have Angel.
There's also a scene where Pleakley makes coffee and its implied to be Stitch's feces. That was gross and unfunny.

He doesn't know.
But then again, it's probably AI shitposting.
2001: indestructible, powerful, badass, almost intimidating force
2025: balls cut, dressed up, farts in hot tub, shits in the coffee and doesnt fight anyone
Haven't seen it, but it's just your average live action disney adaptation. You can watch it, but I cannot imagine someone actually wanting to watch it.
What happened to Nani and David's relationship? They don't say it or hint at it. No hugging, kissing, handholding. You would think he was the (homosexual???) friend if you've never seen the original.
Fucking disney man

So Nani ditches Lilo to go to college at the end.
I really hope this is some kind of prank I'm falling for because that would be the worst possible ending.
Its true
The film kaes it clear that "family doesn't get left behind" also needs to be applied to self-care
Jumba remains a villain and doesn't get redemption
Self care like ballsack multilation humiliation after getting run over
Disney has been leaning heavily into "abandon the children" as a moral lately. Perhaps it's some kind of meta thing.
Turn them into gay trans furries. Then abandon them.
neutered in more ways than possible
that's current Disney for you.
Ye of old
you abandoned me when I needed you the most
Ye of now
You abandoned me when I needed to use the litter box at school
I've had enough
Stitch never shows his Alien form to Lilo
Stitch doesn't do the ohana scene with Nani
I am predicting a huge second week drop off.
Stitch's problem is that the original movie was divided between making a family drama and the task of animating people with ethnic characteristics. Disney plots its films around animation, contrary to what John K used to say (the guy never worked at Disney), you can see it in interviews and official documents. The original movie had terrible pacing, Stitch the blue dog is stitched into the story. Like, they should have made a movie about ethnic people and their blue dog without the aliens and stuff. But Disney spends like 1000x more than Ghibli and they're not allowed to do grounded or mature animation.
The colonial commentary was weird because one of the worst parts is when the moral or values of the girls are kind of spoon fed and when they mention heritage (or culture or some word close to either) they show the Hawaiian state flag which is a colonizer flag. It's given a hero shot, waving in the wind, the sun behind it. I get it, they're Americans, a state. They actually had a moment where they needed to plea with the CIA for help saying they're Americans too.
It's more anti shitty tourists than anything.
Lili and Stitch never was that great
Remove the only aspects that were good
Honest to god might now be the worst franchise they ever made
I must be insane, because I legitimately can't remember any colonial or tourism commentary in Lilo and Stitch. Did I just block it from my mind? Are they talking about when Stitch gets Nani fired? Nani taking pictures of tourists? Huh?
Why is everyone so obsessed with the tourism/colonialism commentary nowadays. I get it was an aspect of the original movie, but I swear that's the only thing that people bring up about Lilo and Stitch now.
It was rumored that they wanted to have lesbian nani very early on but changed it last minute and thats why you get the homosexual tones with david and butch girlboss nani who is no longer hot
What about how the aliens are human for almost the entire movie and they said the new jumba va is a tribute to the dead one but then removed jumbas accent entirely and made him a psycho villain (WE WANT THE TUMBLRSEXYMAN AUDIENCE)
Lilo gets the tourists out by screaming "shark" and Nani wasn't as upset to get fired because she called the set up fake. Now Lilo enjoys the tourist amenities and Nani doesn't have anything negative to say about the job.
Well, Myrtle being a white girl who bullies Lilo, a native was the extent of the colonialism commentary
If it were a Ghibli movie it would be the centerpiece of the story and you know what? It would be a much better movie than the inane piece of shit that disney released. I just don't get Disney movies, man. They bore me to death. Speaking of Ghibli, why doesn't anyone criticize their policies? The latest Miyazaki movie has Tokyo Bombings, Nazi families, abortion and other fucked-up stuff. It's like, are they immune to cringe culture warriors?
Because it’s a way to say this media is based for being anti-white, and leftists online make their entire identity being anti-white
Words like “colonialism” is their way of saying anti-white without saying it
So what? I like Ghibli movies too but I also like a lot of Disney movies. Lilo and Stitch is a heartfelt movie with goofy alien antics. It's fine that way.
anti-white
It's anti-Dole.
Take off your nostalgia glasses, this movie, like any other Disney animated film, has aged like a man's milk
No way this is real, right?
How Lilo portrays it (anti-plantation as you said ) and how leftists on twitter want to interpret it are different things
Every complaint in this thread has been real
You must punish disney
There's an obvious third factor here and it's the assumptions you make. Race isn’t mentioned and you think it is just about being white and not about the actions of a nation or a corporation.
These are both really tenuous. Like, maybe I can understand Nani calling the over the top Hawaiian barbeque fake, but even then, is that really commentary? If it's a one-off scene that doesn't go or anywhere or elaborate on anything? I feel like this is a case of people seeing what they want to see instead of what's actually there.
It's like calling the movie pro-refugee because Stitch and the other aliens move in with the Pelekais. It's not really 'there.'
Iirc there was a deleted scene where some tourists were being rude and nasty to Lilo. There is definitely commentary about the types of tourists that come to Hawaii and how the natives are treated, but a lot of people nowadays make it the sole focal point of the film and basically say that the true villains are dumb white people when in reality, it's just a small factor of the overall theme of the film.
People complain about bonedheaded and unnecessary changes ti the original story.
"STITCH WAS NEVER GOOD!"
Like clockwork.
There were supposed to be more scenes to reinforce the theme but they were cut.
It is more a theme than an out and out commentary, but it is there even in the final cut.
There's also the pro-Hawaii as a state message. It's just a tone shift between the two.
Because browns have white people, haven't you gotten the memo yet?
I've always held the opinion that none of these Disney movies were any good. That's how I found the John K blog
It's not about the actions of a nation or corporations, it's just skin color
What?
I saw that, they weren't even rude or nasty Lilo just scares them away from the beach with a fake tsunami siren, then tells the native guy "if you were me you'd understand"
Wypipo Bad so it's actually the most important thing about it, chud
It's been blown way out of proportion. The only scene that feels like a funny jab at the topic is the recurring gag of the sunburnt fat white tourist.
Nani is not Lilo's mother. Also she leaves her with their neighbor who is a nice and caring old lady who knew their parents since Nani was a child
finally they made stitch gay
You named the one thing no one else in this thread has named.
I never really saw that as a real jab at tourists. Yeah he's a fat white guy in Hawaii, but the core joke was just that his ice cream was always getting fucked up.
The thing is that it's not malicious. It's just "look at this silly tourist let's ruin his ice cream for a laugh".
It possesses none of the absolute contempt you find everywhere nowadays. A jab is that that, a jab. A harmless little joke not meant to hurt anyone's feelings or make a political point.
He's a cultural warrior looking for “subversive” things, he doesn't care about the actual movie. Like, the original film criticized government organizations and painted how bullying is bad, things that are subversions, but he doesn't care about that. It doesn't fit his agenda
It's not Disney policy to show a healthy heterosexual relationship. Nani has to be a stromg independant woman who dont need no David.
No one brought up the ice cream tourist, but this one anon.
Nani is not Lilo's mother.
True! It sure would suck if this was based on a movie about finding your own meaning of family as a result of your actual mother and father being killed, showing children that it's ok for them to be different and have non-standard family dynamics! If that were the case your post would look quite silly.
One was with soem surfer tourist that were a bit annoy that asked lilo for directions(it makes more sense when you see it) the other was a cut screen that's kinda a soap box scene but has a decent point.
let's ruin his ice cream for a laugh
As far as I remember neither Lilo or Stitch ever intentionally ruin his ice cream. He's just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
In the original movie, she is struggling but is able to take care of her sister on her own. It wasn't well developed in the original, because the original movie is bad
Stop being a contrition man,
I think he means the plot itself ruining his ice cream (wrong place, wrong time) instead of any actual character in specific.
what was Nani's bed time policy?
How did she fuel up and insure their car?
does she clean up after all the haoles or just the little ones?
movie doesn't address it, thus it's shit.
Duh, I mean the original doesnt even address what are Nani's plans for when Lilo gets her first period, thats unthinkable in modern Disney.
Chris Sanders must be rolling in his chair
