Wasn't Jumbas whole thing where he was trained to be an evil scientist for a corporation (I think?) And they only wanted deadly aliens but when a couple of his aliens weren't as deadly, he was told to abandon them and he didnt?

I could be wrong its been forever since I watched it.

They might have added that with the tv show spin off or the anime.

In the original, it felt like he was someone who more relished in his creations and just kind of played up the evil scientist persona as part of it all. He was more egotistic than evil.

Ah, yeah. I think it was the spinoff cartoon, cause I remember he had a soft spot for the creation that only made sandwiches.

I guess I should rewatch the original to be sure lol

the og Lilo and Stitch is one of my favorite movies and stitch one of my all time favorite characters and i will NEVER watch the live action movie as bc it completely disrespects the original movie in every way

puzzledsphinx.bsky.social•20 days ago

its so sad to think that when you google Lilo and Stitch, or when young kids first learn about it, this movie is what they will find. This erases the original masterpiece and washes out every scrap of culture or personality.

The decisions in this film baffle me but they’ll never truly erase the original. In a decade people will probably still fondly remember that more than the remake even if it’s making boatloads of money. (Based on what’s happened with the other remakes)

they really thought they were cooking something progressive with this remake...

zonbined.bsky.social•20 days ago

We all know the most progressive thing is taking away social commentary (that on tourist for example) and making characters one sided

But you see, you forget the simple rule of modern Disney. If you can save money on the project by giving a character another character’s role, then that’s one less cgi model to make and one less actor to pay.
