Disney fans first fell in love with Lilo, a little Hawaiian girl, and Stitch, her alien/dog companion, in 2002. Fans admired and related to Lilo’s realistic bond with her older sister Nani, who served as both her protector and favourite. Children learned from Lilo & Stitch that families come in all different forms, and that as long as everyone in the family loves and cares for one another, that’s all that matters. The movie was so popular that it spawned two sequels: Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch and Stitch: The Movie. Additionally, Lilo & Stitch The Series for the Disney Channel and Leroy & Stitch, a spinoff movie, were produced. Then, in 2018, Disney made it known that a live-action version of the movie was in production.
Not much information about the live-action/CGI hybrid remake has been revealed, but we have now learned that the movie officially has a director! The news was first reported by Deadline Hollywood, which shared that Disney has gotten Marcel the Shell With Shoes On writer and director Dean Fleischer Camp to direct one of its newest remakes.
This is not the first film that Dan Lin and Jonathan Elrich have produced for Disney — they also worked on the 2019 live-action remake, Aladdin. Aladdin is just one of the most recent in a long string of Disney remakes, which also includes The Lion King, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Dumbo, Lady and the Tramp, and more. There are also a number of other live-action remakes that will come out before the new Lilo & Stitch, including Pinocchio,Peter Pan & Wendy, and The Little Mermaid.
We do not have a specific release date for Lilo & Stitch, but Disney plans to release it sometime in 2024.
Another NEW highly anticipated animated movie is: Puss in Boots – The Last Wish. Continuing on from the Shrek franchise we see Antonio Banderas reprises roll as the lead Puss.
