Live-action adaptation of 'Lilo & Stitch' reveals significant modification under the guidance of its original director.
Blue Alien's Return, But Not the Same!
prep yourselves, folks! Disney's animated icon, the adorable blue alien Stitch, is back, this time in a live-action "Lilo & Stitch" remake!
Starring an impressive cast including Sydney Agudong, Maia Kealoha, Tia Carrere, Zach Galifianakis and Billy Magnussen, this reboot has been creating quite a stir!
Since the trailer dropped, fans have been vocal about their displeasure, concerned that the live-action version falls short compared to the original animated classic.
One significant criticism revolves around the character of 'Pleakley', who, in the new version, looks more terrifying and lacks his original cross-dressing flair.
A Reddit user voiced their opinion, stating, "I've got a bone to pick with the Lilo and Stitch trailer. Why, oh why, is Pleakley not rocking his fabulous wigs and women's wear? A Pleakley without his eccentric fashion isn't Pleakley at all."
Director Dean Fleischer Camp has addressed this controversy, clarifying the reasoning behind this notable change in 'Pleakley's' appearance.
According to Camp, the shift in medium posed practical challenges in replicating Pleakley's original cartoon disguises. He explained that, in the remake, the character's disguises are achieved through horoscopic technology, creating a different visual aesthetic for Pleakley in the live-action setting.
When asked about the absence of Pleakley's gender-bending wardrobe, Camp lamented, "I've had people asking me 'Why is Pleakley not in a dress?' and all I can say is, I tried."
"Lilo & Stitch" is set to hit theaters on May 23, leaving us eager to see how well the remake manages to capture the magic of the original!
