Lilo & Stitch: Working With Stitch BTS Featurette Plus 3 New Images
Disney released a new behind-the-scenes featurette for Lilo & Stitch, which spotlights...working with Stitch? Plus three new images.
Article Summary
- Disney unveils a meta behind-the-scenes featurette for the live-action Lilo & Stitch film.
- The new featurette spotlights the experience of working with the character Stitch on set.
- Maia Kealoha, who plays Lilo, is featured alongside the film's playful promotional approach.
- Three high-quality images debut alongside the featurette, teasing more from the anticipated remake.
To the surprise of exactly no one, the marketing for Lilo & Stitch is extremely meta because if there was a film where Disney gets the opportunity to lean in, it's this one. It's fun, though, and it makes for something different from all of the other featurettes and whatnot that we've seen from films. We've known since the Super Bowl that this was going to be the angle Disney went with, and it's carrying over into the featurettes. They released a new one which focuses on "working with Stitch," but it's also a spotlight on Maia Kealoha as Lilo. We also got three new high-quality images. I swear to god if you people are mean to her, I'm throwing every single one of you directly into a dumpster where you belong.
