It hasn't always been easy for Disney when the mega Hollywood studio brings back an old classic as a remake to the big screen. Take "Snow White," for example. Controversies overshadowed the adaptation of the animated film for months before its actual cinema release.

Lilo & Stitch (2025) is another release in a long line of“reimaginings” of Disney animated features. Described as“live-action” they rework animations

When co-writers/directors Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders first brought Stitch into this world, it was an especially experimental time for the company following the much beloved Disney Renaissance. Movies like The Emperor’s New Groove, Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet also came out during this more eccentric and adventure-filled era.

In Disney's new live-action remake, "Lilo & Stitch" brings its beloved furry alien back to the big screen for a more earnest, less rambunctious tale.

The Disney remake director Dean Fleischer Camp and Nani star Sydney Agudong speak to Yahoo UK about the alien and how he came to life on the live-action set.

"You are Nani!" Sydney Agudong says Tia Carrerre told her to believe in herself as she took on the role in Disney’s live-action “Lilo & Stitch.”
