While there’s been quite a bit of criticism and backlash surrounding the Lilo & Stitch live-action remake (which seems to be the case with every live-action remake Disney greenlights these days), fans animated movies and TV shows will be happy to hear that at least one original cast member appears to be returning.
The Hollywood Reporter said that Chris Sanders, the individual who co-wrote and directed the 2002 film and played the voice role behind the titular alien lovable, Stitch, is in “final negotiations” to reprise his role in this live-action remake.
Considering Stitch will likely be CGI in the film, it seems fitting to bring back the person who helped make the character so iconic and beloved in this new take on the franchise, something even The Super Mario Bros. Movie decided not to explore. , when he cast Chris Pratt as Mario and not Mario’s voice actor, Charles Martinet.
Does this make you more excited for Lilo & Stitch live action?
