The live-action remake is a visually faithful but narratively uneven retelling of the animated classic. While the film manages to amplify the emotional core of its predecessor, offering a more grounded portrayal of their grief and sisterly struggles, it often stumbles in other areas. The vibrant personality of the original’s 2D animation is replaced with a more conventional, if not bland, live-action aesthetic. CGI Stitch is undeniably cute and well-realized, but the comedic anarchy and unique charm of the alien characters, particularly Jumba and Pleakley, are diluted in the translation to a more realistic world. Ultimately, the film successfully reproduces many of the original’s heartwarming moments, but it struggles to justify its own existence.
