Disney give me something new
Watched Lilo & Stitch (2025) yesterday, and wow - what a bold creative leap... straight back into 2002. The acting? Honestly great. The cast? Good. Visually? Shiny and polished, like a souvenir from a tourist trap gift shop. But the story? Let's just say if I had a 10 dollars for every time Disney recycled a plot, I could probably fund an original movie myself. It's like watching your favorite leftovers: still tasty, but definitely not fresh.
Disney's mastered the art of "new-but-not-really" - take a beloved classic, add modern tech, stir in nostalgia, and repackage it as "innovation." Somewhere in the studio, there's probably a team whose job title is just "Copy-Paste Coordinator." I get it - safe bets make safe money. But creatively? It's starting to feel like déjà vu with a better camera.
Still, if you've never seen the original, or if your brain runs on nostalgia and popcorn, you'll probably have a good time. Just don't go in expecting a fresh story or emotional depth beyond the usual "ohana means family" rerun.
Disney, I love you... but maybe try surprising us next time?
