It's Good, but has problems, as Stitch would say.

It's ok, but my family enjoyed the original better. They removed one of the best characters, switched Cobra Bubbles, and up-ended the story a bit. The scientist genius wasn't the bad guy before. They made Nani into a sort of girl boss marine biologist adept who wants to leave this world behind, and pursue a fancy career. The end was silly, after Nani saves Lilo, she goes back to save Stitch in hero fashion, leaving David to do nothing. Not to mention David was twice as dumb as the original, he was the one to save Stitch.

Worth the watch. Not as good as the original.

It's not an exact re-telling of the original. That's good. If it was, why bother? There are a few differences, such as a live-action version of Pleakley and Jumba blending in. The porthole gun was a great gag. It's similar to Dr. Strange's ring. Most of the best new stuff was spoiled in the trailers, such as the showdown with the soda nozzle at the bar. The CIA agent working for CPS was better explained in this version. That part always bugged me in the animated. The big issue that the reviewers pointed out was the change in Nani. Her character was transformed from a sister who would do anything to keep Lilo to a self-centered, career oriented woman who would leave Lilo behind to pursue her career. It's true that the original Nani was a waitress who couldn't keep a job, while the new Nani is a genius full-ride, scholarship recipient. That's about the most woke thing about this version. It's actually a 0.5 rounded up to a 1, in my opinion. The part about Nani willingly abandoning Lilo to CPS isn't accurate. They are both orphans. Nani just happens to be a legal adult. The neighbor lady plays a big part in their lives. Remember the porthole gun? Going off to college when you have one means the campus is in the next room. The original Lilo and Stitch is my favorite animated movie. I understand it's also the last Disney movie that isn't rendered CGI. It still used the camera system Walt invented. That's a high standard for a remake. Chris Sanders deserves a couple of Oscars for his work on this story alone. Without him behind Stitch, this would've been a flop. The casting and acting was good. The CGI was amazing. It's worth the watch.
