Thinking about Lilo & Stitch makes me really appreciate certain things about the original + the series. Almost every single named [human] character in the movie isn’t white: the only exception being Mertle, y’know, the bratty little girl we’re not supposed to like.

Besides all of the racial representation, Lilo herself is very much a neurodivergent icon, and her portrayal as the protagonist is amazing considering how characters like her are typically either sidelined or depicted in ways to make them less sympathetic/human (modern media does at least a slightly better job at adressing that kind of thing tho).

So all of that is great, but to anyone that hasn’t seen Lilo & Stitch: The Series, it also does some extremely refreshing stuff.

Pleakley gets tons of validation to dress in drag, everyone always referring to Pleakley as “she” when dressed up as “aunt Pleakley.” There’s even an episode that tackles Pleakley dealing with the pressures of his family that wants him to marry a girl and settle down to have a “normal life.” After the episode's shenanigans, there's a realistic depiction of the misunderstanding of a heteronormative/traditional parent with their non-traditional child: Pleakley's mom says that she just wants her children to be happy, but when Pleakley says that he is happy, she thinks he's only trying to console her as she insists, "How can you be happy? You aren't even married." But Pleakley finally gets it through to his mom when he says, "I don't want to be married, mother! I'm happy just as I am."

After getting to meet all of Pleakley's ohana throughout the episode and hearing from Pleakley himself -after all of the previous misunderstandings- that he really, truly, is happy, she's finally starting to understand.

Even though his mom comments as they leave that she wants him to “try wearing men’s clothes more often,” she still does walk away accepting that she simply doesn’t understand her son's way of thinking. It’ll definitely be hard for her since she’s so much more “traditional,” but she’s finally coming to grips with the fact that her son is who he is, and likes being that way, so she’ll love him regardless. She's trying her best.

The portrayal of people with physical disabilities is also great. It’s not because there’s one recurring character with some condition, but almost because there are non-recurring characters. It isn’t in every episode, but here’s an example: they want to show someone at the park playing fetch with their dog for just one shot. They could very easily have it be any a random person, but they decided to make it a lady in a wheelchair. There's another episode where Nani's friends from highschool show up and one has forearm crutches, but not just because she had some recent accident. No one in the episode questions her condition or feels the need to point it out, the only comment on it being that the friend will use the crutches to lightly bonk the others' arms, and Nani jokes, "You are still deadly with that thing."

The fact that they include characters with disabilities when they "don't have to" makes it that much more normal. These people aren't some special case or the main highlight of the episode, they're just another person. They're normal.

There's so much that all of the original Lilo & Stitch media did right, but now the name will forever be tainted with the association of the remake, which I'm sure will have absolutely none of the tasteful writing and ideas of anything prior to it.

Lyrics below!

Sonic Boom (Cash Cash & Crush 40 Ver.)

If you're strong You can fly You can reach the other side Of the rainbow It's all right Take a chance Cause there is no circumstance That you can't handle When you use your mind Sonic boom, sonic boom, sonic boom (Trouble keeps you running faster) Sonic boom, sonic boom, sonic boom (Save the planet from disaster) Through the dark To the light It's a supersonic flight Gotta keep it goin' Sonic boom, sonic boom, sonic boom (Trouble keeps you running faster) Sonic boom, sonic boom, sonic boom (Save the planet from disaster) Sonic boom, sonic boom, sonic boom (Spinning through a world in motion) Sonic boom, sonic boom, sonic boom (2x)

Endless Possibility

This is my escape I'm running through this world and I'm not looking back 'Cause I know I can go Where no one's ever gone and I'm not looking back But how will I know when I get there? And how will I know when to leave? We've all gotta start from somewhere And it's right there for me The possibilities are never ending I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach (Endless possibility) I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside of me (And now I feel so free) Endless possibility And so I'll carry on My time to shine has come, I feel it! (I feel it, I feel it) As fast as I can go Straight to the top I know, you'll see it! (You'll see it, you'll see it) So please wake me up when I get there It feels like I'm lost in a dream I know in my heart that it's my time And I already see The possibilities are never ending! I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach (Endless possibility) I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside of me (And now I feel so free) Endless possibility Drop that smile 'cause you're beaten again No, this is where my journey begins! You're losing speed, you're losing your flow But inside me's a power you'll never know! Then let it out, it's inside you Better all stand back 'cause I'm coming through! I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside of me! I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach (Endless possibility) I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside of me (And now I feel so free) Endless possibility (endless possibility) (2x) Endless possibility!
