Lilo and Stitch, the well-known story about Lilo and her blue alien “dog” Stitch, was first released in 2002. Many people have watched the original movie as a kid, but not many know about the new live-action. Disney’s new Lilo & Stitch live action will begin to play in theaters on May 23. The new movie even brings back Chris Sanders, who was Stitch’s original voice actor. While some are excited for the movie, others are a little skeptical.

“I don’t think every movie needs a live action,” freshman Shelby VonAllmen said.

Turning an animated movie into a live action is difficult, and with a character like Stitch, CGI is used to make him come to life, while the rest of the characters are played by actors. Many people hope that they don’t leave out their favorite parts of the movie like they have done in previous live actions. The original Lilo & Stitch has many beloved characters, and people want to see them in live-action.

“I feel like they’re going to skip showing everyone else,” freshman Evelyn James Corso said.
