On Memorial Day, Walt Disney’s live action “Lilo & Stitch” released, a reimagined version of their 2002 classic animated version. It's an emotional and humorous movie about Lilo, a girl from Hawaii who finds it difficult to make friends and stay out of trouble, who meets Stitch, a mischievous little blue alien who crash lands onto Earth.
Disney’s original series “Lilo and Stitch" has a new live action movie, featuring Maia Kealoha as Lilo and Chris Sanders as Stitch, and has many different reviews from everyone around the world. The live action is based off of Disney’s Lilo and Stitch, and it talks about the unlikely friendship between Lilo, a young, free-spirited Hawaiian girl, and Stitch, an evil, smart alien creature. I recently just watched it, and I feel like the live action could’ve done better, rating it a 3 stars out of 5.
