Lilo & Stitch Live-Action Remake Scores High with Critics

IGN gives the live-action Lilo & Stitch an 8/10. The film, directed by Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On), has garnered positive attention for its emotional depth and the performance of Maia Kealoha as Lilo. "Lilo & Stitch retains and often amplifies the most stirring aspects of the original animated film," stated IGN in their review. This stands in contrast to other Disney live-action remakes often criticized for lacking the emotional core of their animated predecessors. The success of this remake suggests a new approach to live-action adaptations, focusing on preserving the emotional heart of the original material.
