The trailer for the live-action and CGI mashup Lilo & Stitch movie is here. And yes, it is just as adorable as the teasers we’ve seen so far. While it still seems a bit soon to be reimagining an animated film that just came out in 2002, I have to remember that wasn’t yesterday. In fact, 2002 was over twenty years ago, so there’s a whole new generation of kiddos who will beg their parents to go see Lilo & Stitch. That’s wild.
In it, we see how Stitch ends up on Earth and meets Lilo, a lonely and frankly adorable little girl. Stitch is so adorable and weird and gahhhh I really do like this trailer. Together, they all learn about Ohana and how no family is perfect. Of course, there’s antagonistic forces hoping to catch Stitch and ruin the good time they are having. I personally love the idea of Courtney B. Vance playing a black suit wearing baddie.
