one of the few times executive meddling actually proved to be useful. There's a time and a place for that sort of commentary - a movie about a little girl and her blue alien ain't it. Which is why I fully expect them to re-insert it into the remake and make it even more on-the-nose somehow. *sigh*
True. It never ends with what this company does.

It doesn't come right out to say the tourists are racists, but yeah, they'll find a way to fuck it up these days.

But it's also obvious they changed that scene because it doesn't bring out the big laughs, and it's a pretty mild "Lilo being eccentric" moment, all things considered. The cut Pudge sequence is more of a total loss than that cut scene, and that scene would've actually traumatized kids.
 
Hell, even the SURFING has lost its potency.

the longer I think about this, the angrier I get.

The surfing scene was not only one of the highlights of the movie because it was a bonding moment for the Pelekai sisters it also is a character development moment for Stitch which as it was established earlier he was extremely vulnerable to water. His willingness to risk going into the one place he was at his weakest to be part of that bonding moment, of that "Ohana" meant he was going beyond his programming as a weapon, he wished to be something more.

And right at the emotional height of the scene it all comes crashing down for Stitch as the trust he had gained from Nani is eroded by the situation cause by Jumba Jookiba's intervention.




It is such an iconic scene that it was used to promote the movie.

Also I think it is always underappreciated how David Kawena in this scenes plays such a supportive and positive masculine role model in Nani and Lilo's life. I swear, if the remake minimizes or scrubs David's contribution altogether because we cannot have that in current year, I'm going to put a bounty on the writers' heads.

Not that they have not given me enough reasons already to do so:

Dafuq is she wearing? God I hate how puritanically gay Western entertainment has become.

The blonde lifeguard is not going to be anywhere in the remake,

Who am I kidding, the trailer already informs me that the people handling this project already are mucking it up.

A socially maladjusted youth living under a single parent/parental figure finds an alien weapon from outer space. Said weapon grows to bond with said youth, moving beyond their programming and learning about the power of family/friendship in the process.

Which movie am I describing? And yet, it goes to show the late 90s-early 2000s as one of the peak periods of Western animation, because while both tell the same basic story, they each tell them in their own unique ways that resonate with people for different reasons.

OH GOD I HADN'T EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT THAT; OF COURSE THEY'LL MAKE NANI A STRONK INDEPENDENT GIRLBOSS WHO DON'T NEED NO MAN TO COMPLETE HER. I HATE CURRENT YEAR. I HATE IT SO MUCH.

If you think Disney who owns resorts in Hawaii would allow any movie of theirs to even discuss Hawaii's tourism problem would be comical. That's way they likely cut that scene out of the original because it would go against their business interests, especially in an age where Disney openly said they don't want messages in their movies now.

Was hoping to see a scene where everyone is killed all for a new and very suspect real-estate venture. Kindov like those very suspect commiefornia fires almost perfectly matching that proposed high speed rail line...

thinking back its crazy how "modern" it just felt. I'm sure 25 years ago it was considered "woke" but the idea of a young woman doing her best to support her sister and be an adult while also having a boyfriend just felt like something straight out of the primetime dramas of the era, but in a kids cartoon. its sort of nutty how mature the plot is outside of the alien stuff.

Like you could easily see some other film where Stitch isn't in it and its still a well liked movie. Honestly thats how they should have thought about it, like plan it like it is one of those indie dramas about the plight of minorities and then Stitch throughs all that out the window.
because while both tell the same basic story, they each tell them in their own unique ways that resonate with people for different reasons.
Bioshock 2 and bioshock infinite is also hilariously similar in story but they tell it differently.
 
Don't cry too hard for Rachel now, because she's going to be in the Phantom of the Opera remake, the greatest showman on broadway, and a bunch of other Disney related projects that we don't even know about.

There is legitimately a good chance that she's going to be the voice of a Latino Disney princess which is why they're touring her around and Anthony Ramos recently has been doing some vocal work...

All I have to say is prepare yourselves for a decade of Rachel
 
the greatest showman
But are they gonna cast her as the zendaya acrobat (whitewashing) or are they gonna pretend that interracial relationships dont count for latinos/erase her poc identity while having a whole plotline about it with another couple? Ill leave a small amount of optimism for her being the beared lady.

Also lol

Why do they keep casting her in roles that are supposed to gorgeous when she's office-cute (competing with mostly busy exhausted middle aged women) at the very most?

look who just got announced for a new musical
 
"Hi Mom! I'm having so much fun at the prom tonight. Later I'm gonna chug down some drinks with the gals and REALLY have a PARTAAAAAAY!!! Maybe I can get either Chad or Craig to finally fuck me!"
In the early to mid 90ies she would've had both Chad and Craig or Chad, Craig, and unnamed third dude fuck her at the same time.
 
I can see why they cut that and I think it should have been cut. Its a bit too much. All things considered lilo under reacted and what stitch did is a bit too unforgivable (by lilo's perspective) given the context.

If they wanted to keep the message they should have reworked it but as it is, I think its good the scene was cut.
 
I think the really sad thing about that scene is that considering how rushed and underdeveloped the modern Disney movie is there's a good chance that none of the writers would have been able to experiment to see what works for the tone and what doesn't.
