It’s just so gross, like an attempt to be faux progressive by shipping Nani off to college. Like I am Team Women in STEM - but, this is also playing into the fucked up history of indigenous people having their children removed by the state for bullshit and racist reasons. Especially when ICWA is not something 47 gives a rats ass about.
Also, if they really had to have Nani go to college, the University of Hawaii has one of the best marine biology programs in the world because of natural geography. Nani and Lilo could have stayed together, and just gotten a little help from the neighbor / relative…
Never saw that deleted scene, but yeah. They should have left it in.
They also changed David from a cool surfer dude, to a nervous wreck, and Cobra Bubbles from an imposing and intimidating MIB with a history with the galactic president, to just some random MIB that doesn’t seem to understand anything that’s happening.
At least Bronze Age Disney (The Black Cauldron, Pete’s Dragon, and The Rescuers era) were original. People can hate on Black Cauldron all they want, but it had a style.
These remakes are colorless and lifeless, and excise the original themes and messages of the originals.
Just the backgrounds alone on the animated Lilo and Stitch are art - they mixed salt in their watercolor to create beautiful effects.
I’m also so done with the 3D “everyone has the same face” syndrome and lack of aesthetic creativity. IMHO, that sequence with Maui’s tattoos in Moana is the most spirit they’ve shown in a decade.
The part that really pisses me off is that I have heard people say that L&S is the “best of the live action remakes,” and having seen Lion King and Aladdin, I can’t actually say they’re wrong!"
DreamWorks better not fuck up How to Tame your Dragon
There’s a new lilo and stitch movie?
It’s absolute garbage, and the ending literally goes against the theme of the first movie (eg - Nani gives Lilo up)
Oh shit, they had a blue print for success and fuzzy family shit and they could not even get that right?
They also neutered the political messaging of the film - the themes around tourism and how that affects native Hawaiians. Really wish that they had left this scene in the original animated movie.

Put it in the pile with the rest of the live action swill Disney is pumping out for no reason whatsoever.
They know they have the rights to the originals, right? They don’t have to make terrible knock-offs.
Got to keep the copyright fresh somehow
