Disney's latest live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch has made waves at the box office, grossing $341 million worldwide and setting a record for the biggest Memorial Day weekend debut in US history. Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, the film stays true to the original 2002 animated story while introducing notable changes, such as a shift in character roles and development. The creative team aimed to deepen the narrative, leading to significant alterations in character dynamics, particularly with Gantu and Cobra Bubbles. Original fans are particularly engaged with these adaptations, as evidenced by the casting of Tia Carrere in a new role.
Gantu arrives, and it turns into a more conventional movie. I thought there was a nice opportunity here for [Jumba] to turn and become the villain in the third act.
These live-action remakes essentially copy-paste the original stories, but with significant changes that resonate with original fans.
Mrs. Kekoa, who checks in on Lilo and Nani in the remake, is portrayed by Tia Carrere, the original voice of Nani.
