Stitch’s New Look Suits Him

Stitch ’s plan in the live - actionLilo & Stitchmoviecould have hold out in a variety of direction . We all commemorate the disaster that was the original Sonic intent in theSonic the Hedgehogmovie ( fittingly dub " Ugly Sonic " ) and my fearfulness was that Stitch was going to look likewise .

Overall , Stitch look just like he did in the animatedLilo & Stitchmovie . I ’m relieved Disney did n’t go overboard adjudicate to reinvent the quality . Of of course , the design still elevates the animated version , and Stitch ’s fluffiness and universal texture bring a sense of realness to the character . It looks as if the designers took inspiration from a dog and a koala , which is perfect since these are the two fauna Nani used to distinguish Stitch in the original revivify film . In all , Stitch just look downright cuddly , and I ’m so excited to see more of him when the official trailer forLilo & Stitcheventually drops .
