Despite Lilo & Stitch succeeding where other Disney live-action remakes have failed, the plot is weighed down by real-world implications.

You think surely I saw all of the best Disney movies? Then you hit play and realized you never watched Lilo & Stitch. I think the reason I never saw the film because I was in my teens when it came out,

Step aside, Moana, Elsa and Simba. In recent years, Stitch has quietly become one of Disney’s most popular — and most merchandised — characters.

In Disney's new live-action remake, "Lilo & Stitch" brings its beloved furry alien back to the big screen for a more earnest, less rambunctious tale.

The "live-action" remake of Lilo & Stitch looks like a Disney Channel Original and makes all the wrong decisions.

Director Dean Fleischer Camp delivers the same laughs and heart as 2002's 'Lilo & Stitch,' though his leads were more appealing in animated form.

When co-writers/directors Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders first brought Stitch into this world, it was an especially experimental time for the company following the much beloved Disney Renaissance. Movies like The Emperor’s New Groove, Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet also came out during this more eccentric and adventure-filled era.

I sound like a broken record; whenever I review these Disney remakes, I say they’re an unnecessary cash grab. Even if I like the film, as I did with “ The Little Mermaid ,” I still conclude that corporate greed is the sole reason for its existence.
