So gonna make this with no spoilers
I really wanted to like this, but the remake just misses what made the original Lilo & Stitch so special.
One of the biggest issues? They completely lost the heart of the story. The original was about found family, feeling like an outsider, and growing into love and understanding. This version just kind of glosses over all that. They cut out some important characters who brought depth, and the new ones they added didn't move the plot forward at all-they felt like filler.
And then there's Lilo. In the original, her behavior came from trauma, misunderstanding, or just being a kid who felt deeply and didn't know how to express it. Here, it feels like they made her act out just to be bad. It wasn't quirky or endearing-it was out of character and kind of mean-spirited.
What really stings is the lack of emotional growth. The original gave us real redemption arcs and character development. Here, it's like everyone stays the same the whole movie. No payoff, no evolution.
Visually it's fine, and I'm sure some people might enjoy it on a surface level. But for fans who connected with the original's heart? This just feels hollow.

The original was one of my earliest childhood memories. I watched the original right before watching the second one and it still had the charm. So I hoped the second one would continue this trend.... it did not. The rumba and Tony Hale were the best characters. The Sanderson sisters had to much information about stuff that they wouldn't know.
Disney has had this trend lately of making things look good but the stories are garbage this is the same thing. Visually great horrible story. Honestly this a 4 is being generous
Honestly don't watch assume Hocus Pocus 1 was the end and save yourself the 207 min.
