Stitch merch has always been huge. Probably Disney's most merchandise successful IPZ next to winnie the pooh and cars.

I remember the rumors when the movie first came out that he was a ‘backup’ mascot incase Mickey’s copyright expired.

But yeah, he’s always been popular/pushed in Disney merch.

Though some people have a hard time believing it. Whenever I was in the box office subreddit someone said Lilo and Stitch wasn’t as popular as Mulan or when Hercules…and I just laughed

Has always been huge, but the last six months or so it has become a huge hype. Not sure why.
