Maybe they have some kind of a unit that will digitize them, almost like a cloaking device that will make them look human." "I would say that's probably something that would have to be adjusted - whether or not they have the ability to disguise themselves as humans. Throughout the animated version, the duo dons a number of unconvincing human disguises that would immediately attract suspicion by the regular human eye. "It is a tougher sell, Jumba and Pleakley do not look remotely human," Sanders continues. Jumba Jookiba (the mad scientist who created Stitch) and Agent Pleakley, a pair of aliens sent to capture Experiment 626 on behalf of the Galactic Federation.

Okay, that's not even close to a dog.' So you could not walk in with him and go, 'Hey, look, I bought a dog at the pound!’ People would be jumping out of windows and running for their lives. If it's on-screen, will you be able to forgive it if he looks exactly the same?" Because you're like, ‘Oh my gosh! That’s what he would look like if he was in the real world. "Standing in front of him was intimidating. When you go into a live-action 'll be interesting to see what happens with that," Sanders explains, pointing to the life-sized animatronic built for the Stitch's Great Escape! ride at Walt Disney World (the attraction closed in 2018) as a good example of how it can work in the real world. "The proportions of Stitch in that world are easier to swallow because everything is hand drawn. Can the remake believably pass him off as a stray dog like the original does without straining credulity? Given the fact that he is not of this Earth, Stitch will most likely be rendered in CGI, which opens up a can of worms in terms of the audience's suspension of disbelief. Staying true to his appearance will be critical." If he's not the same shape, he's not the same character. "Details count, so I’d be very curious how they handle Stitch’s textures. "I think the most obvious thing is Stitch has to be Stitch, visually ," he says. In a recent chat with SYFY WIRE over Zoom, original Lilo & Stitch designer, co-writer, and co-director Chris Sanders gave us his thoughts on the forthcoming remake, stating that he's "very curious" to see how the titular alien is handled in live-action. Several direct-to-video films, two seasons of a Disney Channel television series, an amusement park ride, and an endless collection of merchandise later, Experiment 626 has become just as iconic to the Mouse House pantheon as Mickey himself.Īs such, he is not immune to the company's current practice of mining its own animated cache for live-action/CG hybrid remakes. It's a Hawaiian rollercoaster ride of emotion - a genuine exploration of family and belonging that never fails to bring tears streaming down your face. The only project to hit pay dirt in the post-Renaissance era was Lilo & Stitch, an offbeat coming-of-age story (one that marries '50s sci-fi, classic Spielberg, and the ol' Disney charm) about a young outsider befriending a chaotic visitor from outer space.
After a decade of established fairy tales and legends ( The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, Hercules, etc.) that restored its animation division to a former sense of glory, the studio began experimenting with fresh IP and bold reinventions of old classics.ĭespite their beloved status among contemporary audiences, The Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet were embarrassing box office misfires upon their initial theatrical releases. Disney doesn't take risks often, but when it does, the rewards are beyond measure.
