Ohana means family and family means that no one leaves behind ... or spoiled. This article discusses Large spoilers From "Lilo and Stitch".

Disney's new tradition of live action Grabbing money Remake has finally set his sights on the most beloved animated film of my generation ... But in a twist, not every fan of an favorite character is present. The newly released "Lilo and Stitch" He retained the services of the actor (and the original co-director/writer) Chris Sanders, who initially borrowed his voice on foul-fat alien (experiment 626, to be accurate) that captured so many hearts and minds more than two decades ago. He is not the only holder, because acting members Tia Karere (who expressed Lilo's sister, Nani) and Amy Hill (Ms Hasagawa), also make their returns - though in different, but shocking roles. Otherwise, all other characters and plays are renamed to better fit in age, heritage and various other live problems. Everything is, except for the original villain of the story.

It's no secret that, despite the alien crazy scientist Umbumba Jookiba and his unprepared steering wheel, which lead the country's running hunt, Real Lilo and Stitch's big bad bad was always an alien the size of Gantu. Expressed by Kevin Michael Richardson, the nonsense captain gets the irreplaceable task of detaining a point if the criminal umbumba and the unreliable playli fails in their mission. The most memorable, Gantu ends at the reception end of some of Lilo's most colorful insults, whose emissions are sampling that includes "great nonsense", "doll", and, my personal favorite, "stinking fish". In short, his presence gives our main characters someone who poses an original, physical threat, along with a strong person worth rooting against.

Iousbopite, director Dean Fluisher Camp and writers Chris Kecaniocalani Bright and Mike van Waes decide not to include Gantu in the "Lilo and Stitch" remake scenario in general. Although the new direction they are taking (mostly) works, the change will undoubtedly make waves among the original fans. Here's why.

Who knew that the complete omission of the main villain of the film would inevitably have the effects of rhythm on the rest of the story? By Many reasons why the original "Lilo & Stitch" feels so refreshing and sticking to this dayThe loveee and the respect she has for each of her character (yes, including ice cream) mostly stands out. There is a reason why Lilo, Stitch, Nani and "Miracle" have found the family they create with playlets and Umbumba continues to penetrate all our collective heart plates. But without Gantu there was a main antagonist trying to split this through his ruthless search for a point, well, which naturally descends and completely changes the dynamics of other characters - in this case, playlets and umbumba.

The absence of a gantu of the remake leaves a narrative hole to fill umbumba, of all characters. In the original film, Umbumba is a reckless right -wing rules whose reckless monster creation as Stitch leaves it in search of ransom. The fact that he can only do it by finding and arresting a stitch Initially Puts it contrary to us. That said, a key aspect of the story comes from the repeated topic of Ohana (What, as we know, means family and family means that no one leaves behind or forgotten) and his ability to win even the most famous warrior and stubborn characters ... including the Umbumba himself.

However, in the remake, Umbumba begins the story as an uninvited villain and ends the story of the same place. Although turning him into the main villain, he definitely helps direct the script, he also robs us of Lilo's uncle and Stitch's awkward figure, who eventually wind as one of the good guys. The whole role of playlings as his unprepared coach, meanwhile, retroactively breaks his anti -comedy. Zack Galifianakis as Umbumba and Billy Magnusen, because the public -fueled playlist is fun and funny in any version of this story, but making playlings an unwanted accomplice of an unskill villain feels like a trade that is not worth it.

Given that infamously lifted the third act of the original filmFans of Lilo and Stitch should be used to the idea of ​​things that don't go according to plan. The great change in the Gantu in the remake is certainly ranked among the largest in the franchise. But despite the amount of fake ink for the Internet, I just spilled this small piece, it's not necessarily So it's the end of the world as we know it. The prospect of the box office of the movie Make a sequel all, but surely. Hack, why not take out a page The popular series of Disney channels Both Pete Lilo and a point against all Alien's experimental "cousins", released on the islands of Hawaii? Gantu, for all intentions and purposes, can still appear at some point in this new live franchise with action.

But should he? It is not necessary for a rocket scientist to discover that Gantu was probably left on the floor of the cutting room (if he even did it away) because of the huge costs that would be needed to make this alien character with visual effects. At the connected note, this also explains why the colorful characters of Umbumba and the playlings magically turn into people with a normal look for most of the film. For a film that is already stretching the boundaries of suspension of disbelief with his blue-tinted character, made in "live action", well, adding another The VFX-Tekharan alien, above that, would probably have been a bridge too far.

At the end of the day, Disney sits square on the driver's seat when it comes to "Lilo and Stitch". We Puccists may miss having our massive, villain with a whale, we want to hate to run around and terrorize our main heroes, but it remains to be seen whether children (and their parents who buy tickets) end up feeling the same way.
