Lilo & Stitch is one of the stronger results of Disney’s non-stop remake campaign, taking the emotional core of the original and amplifying it in a stirring manner.

Lilo & Stitch, just like its titular characters, has always felt like an outlier in Disney’s animated catalog.

Disney’s live-action remakes/re-imaginings have been a staple for more than a decade, with titles raided again including “The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin,” “The Jungle Book,” “Mulan,” “Dumbo,” “Pinocchio” and “Snow White.” Here’s hoping “Lilo & Stitch” convinces the studio to generate some new stories.
