‘Lilo & Stitch’, a live-action adaptation of Disney animation, has confirmed its release on May 21. Along with this, a poster that highlights the loveliness of ‘Stitch’ has been released, raising expectations even more.

The movie ‘Lilo & Stitch’ depicts what happens when a lonely girl, Lilo, and a small, cute blue puppy(?), Stitch, grow into a family that is not perfect but can‘t help but love.

The ‘Disney’s Golden Child’ poster, released on the 7th, captures Stitch‘s harmless loveliness and draws attention. In particular, the phrase “Introducing the Golden Child of the Disney family!” along with Stitch’s witty scene of chewing up the logos of Disney Studios, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar makes people laugh.

Meanwhile, ‘Lilo & Stitch’ is a live-action version of the animation of the same name that was released in 2002 and nominated for the 75th Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. At the time of its release, it received favorable reviews such as “It has all the emotion and charm you expect from a Disney film, but also contains mature themes and realistic characters” (Empire Magazine), “It’s touching, funny and unique” (BBC), and “It’s a fun piece full of scenes that will make parents and kids laugh” (Seattle Times). Expectations are high for what kind of delightful adventure and touching message the upcoming live-action film will realistically deliver.

The directing is by Dean Fleischer-Kamp, who was nominated for an Academy Award for the feature-length animation ‘Marcel, the Clam in Shoes’, and Chris Sanders, who directed the animation of the same name and provided the voice for Stitch, will return to play the role of Stitch. Also, newcomer Maia Kealoha, who looks like she jumped straight out of an animation, plays Lilo, and Sydney Elizabeth Agudong plays her older sister Nani.
