A friend is a companion who supports and provides unconditional love, which drives us through all the difficult times. A friend corrects mistakes and guides on the right path. Under any situation, when we rely on friends, they never let us down because we trust each other and have developed a bond or pact over the years. In this world, friendship is the most precious ornament, and people will never lose it once the pact is created. Shedding light on the nuances of the friendship, the director Dean Fleischer Camp has crafted “Lilo and Stitch”, produced under the banner of Disney, a beautiful and heart-wrenching friendship between a human and an alien dog.
Backstory
The story was drawn from the original animated 2002 Disney film, “Lilo and Stitch”, directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois. However, Dean Fleischer developed the plot into a live-action animated film and included innovative technologies with the same theme while casting new actors on board. The story highlights the bond between the human girl, Lilo, played by Maia Kealoha, and Stitch, an extraterrestrial dog, voiced by Chris Sanders.
Friendship
Lilo is raised by her older sister after the loss of their parents. However, their struggle to understand each other often leaves Lilo feeling lonely. In desperation, Lilo adopts Stitch, a puppy, despite its abnormal behavior, from an animal shelter. Stitch’s arrival brings unexpected change and healing into her life, but a plot twist emerges when his true identity is revealed—Stitch is an alien sent to Earth to cause chaos.
What Next
Throughout the film, Lilo and Stitch’s friendship remains the centre of attraction. The story’s core theme includes human value, bondage, friendship, family, and redemption. The film creates curiosity when Lilo can change Stitch. What are the major factors that led to this change? Or will Stitch destroy Earth? These questions hold the audience’s attention while watching the film.
