The new live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch has sparked mixed reactions, particularly regarding the transformation of beloved alien characters Jumba and Pleakley. Critics had initially sought more creative insights into how these characters would transition from their animated origins to photorealism. However, the first trailer reveals that characters will be portrayed using hologram technology, which many view as a lack of creativity. This decision has disappointed fans eager for unique redesigns but does manage to capture some nostalgic elements from the original film.
If we can accept that Stitch can be mistaken for a dog by reasonable observers, it is not a stretch to maintain that a radical redesign of characters like Jumba is possible.
A good portion of why fans of the animated classic were interested in the new movie was to see how its alien characters would be converted to a photorealistic style.
While the new trailer hits many nostalgic beats, it also reveals Jumba and Pleakley will use hologram technology, which leads to mixed feelings among fans.
The trailer has positive elements, but the reveal of returning characters like Jumba and Pleakley as holograms instead of being fully reimagined disappoints fans.
