Decided to go watch with the pals earlier this week. That helped. [spoiler]Absolute plot and character assassination. Cool that they used island locations ([i]even if it’s the wrong island…[/i]) but still felt bland, especially compared to the few clips of the original film that YouTube decided to show me when I got home. Did they even explain the parent’s deaths? I can’t remember. Whole thing felt rushed probably to fit in Aloha Oe, bad jokes, the CPS scenes, and bad jokes. Even the shooting star seemed rushed but I need to rewatch the original. Hawaiian stuff in a movie is nice, but they could at least attach it to a good movie as well. And having the neighbor taking Lilo to the dog kennel. Nope. Having Nani mad at Lilo for losing her job compared to Nani making an excuse about her boss instead of blaming Lilo for losing her job. It’s just sad. Probably would have had the time and money for proper characters if they didn’t make so many redundant ones to make a different ending sound better. [/spoiler] Sad that this’ll be the first Stitch movie for some kids.

Disney now has it out for the nuclear family.

Hearing the latest about it kinda makes me feel like all those stories about Hollywood and movie makers in general being a psyop feel just that much more plausible...

I was going to say you’re probably overreacting, but then I read that spoiler and then I changed my mind, and you’re probably right? [spoiler]Feel free to spoil it. What’d they do? The original is genuinely one of my favorite movies of all time. Hard to imagine them being able to ruin it that badly.[/spoiler]
