A new clip from Disney's live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch remake has been closely scrutinized leading up to its theatrical release.
CinemaCon, where ScreenRant was in attendance. In the clip, Lilo and Stitch share a playful moment that efficiently captures the characteristics of the characters. The scene seems to take place after Lilo's fight during her hula class. Forced to come to Nani's work, Lilo watches her new "dog" and it ends with her being sprayed in the face with a soda gun. Watch the full clip below:
What This Means For The Live-Action Lilo & Stitch
Will The Fanbase Ultimately Like The Changes?
The reactions to the first official trailer of the live-action Lilo & Stitch have unsurprisingly provided a wide spectrum of responses. Regarding the latter, fans like the nostalgia elicited by the trailer and the faithful recreation of iconic scenes, along with keeping Stitch's cute and fluffy attributes in the rendering of his live-action design. Criticisms of the live-action changes so far focus on Jumba and Pleakley, especially the former, as Pleakley's beloved disguises have seemingly been significantly altered.

28 Best Lilo & Stitch Quotes
Lilo & Stitch has some of the best Disney quotes about family as well as some hilarious lines too. These are some of the funniest and most heartfelt.
Trailers do often withhold elements that can unfortunately be seen as more eccentric or risky, so Pleakley's disguises may very well be in the feature-length live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch. As for the new clip, it reflects the opportunities to expand upon certain ideas and scenes live-action remakes provide. In the animated version, there is a water gun scene that arguably stands alone, but in the live-action remake, it seems like that scene was effectively woven into another without losing its charm, with Stitch acting as if he's in a Western.

It Aligns With The Characters And Offers Insight Into How It'll Expand On The Original
The clip does a solid job of capturing the essence of the characters who appear, like Nani's role as the frustrated, responsible one, David's comedic, yet still aware role in the film, Lilo's dual nature of innocence and defiance, and finally Stitch's affinity for whimsical chaos. With a few more polishing touches, the clip should be a strong, character-driven scene that's ultimately, hopefully, part of a satisfying whole in Disney's live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch.
