Following are spoilers for the new Lilo and Stitch.

Here comes another one Disney live remake. This time, the wonderful animated feature in 2002 "Lilo & Stitch" receives live action treatment, and with sincerity, the results are not semi-local. As always, the original animated version is superior, but as long as these remake goes, "Lilo and Point" of 2025 is pretty charming, Even if he plays things a little too safe. One thing that this remake is going on is an attempt not to tell the same exact story of Bit. More often than not, live remuneration with action seems to adopt a remake style that feel meaningless-why do we do the same when we already have it in an animated form?

To be clear, the new "Lilo & Stitch" recreates most of the original film, next to the dialogue. The story is once again for a lonely girl named Lilo (played well from Maya Khhhha) who hangs out with a foreign critic that causes chaos, she names Stich (expressed by Chris Sanders, who co-wrote and directed the original film and expressed the point there). Just like in the original film, the new "Lilo & Stitch" is all about how Stitch teaches the true meaning of the family, and just like the original film, the new "Lilo & Stitch" will probably make you cry by the moment it ends (whether I got a little torn in the theater when I saw it this week?

But again, the new "Lilo & Stitch" makes some changes, adding new characters, removing others and changing some details (there is Much less focus on Elvis In this film, for example). One of the biggest changes includes a protective older sister of Lilo, Nani, played here by Sydney Agudong. As in the original film, Lilo and Nani's parents recently died, leaving teenager Nani as Lilo's guardian. While Nani's age is never specified in any movie (she is obviously older than 18 years to get custody, but that's all we really know), she's still clearly very young, and suddenly taking care of her little sister is understandable a little burden for Nani, who is struggling to do the right job.

In the original film, we don't get much information about Nani. The film is primarily focused on Lilo (and Stitch), and the whole bow of Nani in that film revolves around Lilo's care. In the new film, the script gives Nani a different backstew. We find out that Granted received a full scholarship to go to college to become a marine biologist, but those dreams were exhausted when her parents died.

Both films include Nani struggling to retain Lilo's custody - a task that becomes difficult after Nani loses his job thanks to Stitch's antiquity. But the final of the new film changes things for Nani's future. In the original film, Nani must maintain the custody of Lilo and they all live happily ever after, with Stitch remaining on earth. The new film, however, gives Nani a chance to return to college when a useful neighbor Titus (Amy Hill) has added a new character for the film, agrees to watch Lilo.

There are two ways to see this change. One thing is positive by giving Nani a chance to live the life he always wanted while still staying in Lilo's life (post-credit scene reveals that Nani uses a college for a college shipping science to hang out with Lilo and Stitch when he wants). However, there is a negative way to look at this: in the end, after all her struggles, Nani simply teaches Lilo to take care of someone else. Shouldn't the sisters stay together?

After all, I think this change works. Of course, it is better to have Nani and Lilo to stay together as a big family (with a point). But it is more hope to give Nani a chance to live his dreams. But as I said above, the original film (and that is an original end) is still better. But I can still appreciate what the filmmakers were looking for here.

"Lilo and Stitch" is now in cinemas.
