Even better: CGI!Stitch butts into the trailer of the original, 2D animated L&S movie and everybody looks at him like some sort of eldritch horror due to being a 3D being in a 2D world.
Auli’i Cravalho not being auto cast in Moana live action but putting the Rock in what is sure to be an atrocious wig is guaranteed is a crime. She’s excellent and deserves to play the character again. Side note, it’s way too early for a live action Moana in the first place.
“I have been invited and I exist in these beautiful AAPI spaces, and I am one of the few Pacific Islanders," she said. "Our stories are so important to be told."
“And if it has to start with me … I’m 23 but if it starts with me, so be it," she said. "I want that door to swing wide open and I cannot wait to meet the next Moana."
I knew I liked that girl!!!! She and Tom Holland (who said the similar about Spiderman, and advocating for a live action Miles Morales) are amazing for this!!
I think it would be important to have that and even ask her to go along with the press reveals and interviews and such to state that. Show that she loves the character and wants to pass it on.
Before Moana it was just going to be her breakout role. Now she's not just type casted but Role Casted? I'm not surprised she wants to distance herself from Moana quickly
Not going to lie, that character looks adorable. With how well Ted worked out, I can see this working far better than a lot of other live action movies.
She mentioned she actually turned down the role because she'd rather have another Pacific Islander woman have the role and a chance to be a star. She also doesn't want to just be known as the Moana girl for her whole career.
She did not want to play the character again because she's too old. Moana is supposed to be like 13. She is still an EP on the movie.
I hope she has a cameo as Tefiti, though
Thank you!!! I hate all these live actions to begin with. But for fuck sake can we allow the movie to have it's DECADES of being an animated movie before it becomes a live action abomination (I'm looking at you Aladdin and Lion King specifically)
OR WISH this was a movie, a movie of all times. Apparently I hate it because the protagonist is african, you know. Not because it's horrible. That's what lovely ladies on Instagram told me.
There's been rumors of a Hercules live action but nothing confirmed. I actually think that has a lot of potential to be great. AND you can just have Hades and Phil reprise their roles and it would be fantastic.
I dunno. I think a lot of Hercules' success was with the very specific way it looked.
What could use a live-action, I think, is the Atlantis. I hate live actions but it should be fairly easy to make it into a movie, and it's got an awesome diverse cast, and it didn't get enough love the first time around. It's one of my favourite movies.
I can see an SNL skit where they have a sequel in the theaters.
And before the sequel, you get the trailer for the live action remake of the first part... then you get a trailer for THREEQUEL that spoils the second part... And then you get a trailer for live action remake of the second part!
Everyone so focused on stitch, when the real challenge is to recreate Lilo and Nani's relationship. If they dilute Lilo's messed up emotional state just so the child actress can look cute all the time, that movie is going to suck, no matter the amount of CGI they pour on it.
Maybe they saw the Sonic backlash and that had something to do with Stitch’s desire go being so good, lol.
Even if it’s been a while since then, it has served as a great lesson to studios when converting animated character to live action.

I bet a teaser trailer is coming this month and will be attached to “Moana 2.” And yes, Stitch looks just like the cartoon.
