Movies Lilo & Stitch Remake is God Awful

[JustCallMeConstantin]

I just saw Lilo & Stitch Remake And dear Lord What a pain to watch He's so bad Even the ending was garbage This is the worst like Snow White remake. So yeah, I want to hear you guys opinion about this film

 

[Neb Lleb]

Well, maybe it's NOT that bad. It's proving to be very polarising, so maybe I'll get mileage out of it where you didn't.

However, I did rewatch the original movie, and man. What a beautiful work of art. Possibly one of the best family dramedy films and best Disney Animation films of all time.

It's very frustrating to hear some of the things the movie changed. And even more frustrating that this will probably make disney another billion dollars.

Near to where I live, the screenings for it have sold out 3+ days in a row. Hundreds of tickets. Crazy, especially when most other films average around ~10 bums in seats.

 

[Neb Lleb]

Funny thing about the original Lilo & Stitch I should mention is the promotional material, where Stitch finds himself in scenes from Renaissance-era Disney films and screws them up, leaving nothing but a "Hehe, Inji biti ba! (This is quite awkward!)" in his wake. They are not representative of the film itself at all, painting them as a Disney version of Shrek rather than the family drama it is, but they are utterly funny.

 

[Tortuga]

Just like every disney remake
Impressive how those live action remakes somehow becoming worse

It's the nostalgia selling it.
I would almost warrant a bet that 80-90% of those tickets were bought by now 20-25-year-olds who saw the original as kids and are viewing it through rose-tinted glasses. Now, hey, if you liked it, that's absolutely fine.

I don't bash anyone for liking a movie, good or bad. Everyone's entitled to like what they enjoy. Personally, a hard pass. I liked the original L&S movie, the second was alright.
But it's not a movie I grew up with. So, like every other Disney live-action movie, I have no real desire nor care to see them.

But, as with most remakes, I'm not really a fan. I'm not going to sit and yell about the remakes... hey, they are what they are. But the remake being here doesn't erase the original.
So, hey, if you like the remake more than the original, that's fine. If I like the original more, that's just as valid.

When you say "the second", are you referring to the first sequel, Stitch! The Movie, or the alternate "true" one, Lilo & Stitch 2?

Lilo & Stitch 2
I'm not a huge Disney fan, never have been, but there are a few movies they made that I like

I think Disney just needs to stop with all these remakes!

 

[Neb Lleb]

Lilo & Stitch 2

Okay. Thing is, considering they pulled a Ring with the sequels (made one, but then decided to make an alternative one that takes its place), it's rather hard to know which sequel you're talking about between Stitch! and 2.

Also, my mentioning of the Ring movies is somewhat of a coincidence, because Daveigh Chase, Lilo's voice actress, is best known for playing Samara, Sadako's counterpart, in the 2002 Gore Verbinski remake. The whiplash of going from a lovable, relatable and quirky protagonist to the icon who defined an era of Japanese-style horror is quite off the scale if you ask me.

I think Disney just needs to stop with all these remakes!

Well, I agree, but hey. If you could just rehash and spit out a sloppy remake of something, and make multiple-millions on it by doing almost nothing, would you stop?

 

[DanVzare]

That moment when you realize the Disney Live-Action Remakes aren't getting worse, you're just noticing how bad they've always been.

...

I still think Cruella was pretty good though. So long as you treat it as an original story that is.

Yes, that is an argument, probably not.

It's like the first live action Transformers movie.
It wasn't bad in and of itself, but I'm just so tired of CGI and 3D effects. I honestly miss hand-drawn animation. I'm not saying we should get rid of 3D.
Some things, like the aforementioned Transformers, couldn't really exist without CGI and 3D.

I think that's why I love anime, animated shows, and cartoons from the 80s and 90s. If they had any CGI, it was something so quick that you might not even notice it.

As for live-action Disney movies, stuff like Flight of the Navigator, Dragonslayer, and Maleficent are fine live-action movies. Aside from Maleficent being based on another property, it was alright.
I liked it enough and would watch it again if I were bored.

But the current state of live-action movies... nah, hard pass. Those can go in the trash.

i dont even bother giving disney the time of day with their remakes

Absolutely this.
I'd go further and wager that a healthy proportion of those 20-25 year olds are also now parents themselves, and are probably taking their children to see the classics from their early childhood.

Like you, I was just a wee bit too old for Lilo & Stitch for it to have been one of my staples growing up, but plenty of other Disney films were. Hell, they've already got me to go see the remakes of The Jungle Book, The Lion King and more recently, that new Mufasa film. None have held a candle to their original counterparts, but at least they've given me a new-found appreciation of the classics.

Oh, absolutely, I agree. Mind you, most of the things we grew up watching... be it The Jungle Book, as you mentioned, or even something as insane as Invader Zim, are honestly just retellings of other stories. Christopher Booker said "There are only 7 basic stories in the world" and he's right, to a point.

Yeah, a lot of the remakes now, even the originals. I was past the targeted audience or didn't care for the originals as a kid. I was a strange kid with weird tastes in stuff, and I wholeheartedly agree.
I 100% appreciate those that came before in comparison to the remakes.

Ha, yeah this is certainly true on a macro scale. I actually read Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book a couple of years ago and was really impressed by it, and the other stories in that collection. And yes if you go even more broader in scope, a la The Hero with a Thousand Faces, I suppose there is a hard cap on the number of original stories that can be told. But I'm of the opinion that nuance is enough to make something original.

....like the nuance of the wang nose they apparently decided to give one of the aliens in the new live action flick.

Ohana means handing your sister to state care so you can go to college.

For real, imagine this precedent being set in a mainland state or another country rather than Hawaii.
Considering how horrendous state child care apparatus are known to be across the world.
The original film message was one of Love, that having a family. No matter how disjointed or adoptive can provide you the support network you need to thrive. That you aren't alone, people love you even if you are a little different.
The remake?
Nah f#ck that, bye sis I hope that the trauma of losing our parents and now me doesn't negatively affect you in anyway. Byeeeee~

Honestly the real Lilo & Stitch 2 is Stitch because unlike Stitch has a Glitch, Stitch the Movie actually leads into Leroy & Stitch, which I’d consider the third and final movie

Yeah, again, I haven't nor will I watch the live-action movie.
But watching a review of it, they more or less said what you did.
It dropped a lot of what made the movie Great.
Honestly, in the original animated movie, you could have taken out all the alien story and had it be solely about Lilo and Nani, and it would have still been a great movie.

 

[glokglakglak]

i don't even know why i'm here

probably just to say REJECT MODERNITY
i got literally no reason to watch any goddamn live action remake just cos it exists, nor do i have any reason to support dickney
in fact i have no reason to watch anything i don't care about to begin with, so me not spending my money on a movie by a company i don't even care about to begin with is my protest, cos the less money they get, the more they lose, and the sooner they get bankrupt

For me Disney is nothing more than a shell of its former self. The House of Mouse has totally ran out of ideas, gone are the days when Disney is beloved by audiences all over the world for its larger than life storytelling. Now all they do are remakes, unimaginative superhero films and it’s sequels and probably sequels to their remakes.
