Having Jumba replace the role as the villain instead of Gantu and removing all the depth and nuance of his character is honestly one of the worst things ANY of these remakes have ever done (aside from completely ruining the whole message of the film) Like it is genuinely uncomfortable and gross just how far the remake goes out of it's way to make him as irredeemable as possible

Yes, Jumba was far from a saint in the original film. He was chaotic, egotistical, and at times completely insane (especially in the first film) but he also showed moments of humanity and genuine remorse like when Nani asked where Lilo was after she was captured, and even when he was trying to capture Stitch at no point did he try to hurt Lilo. I'd even argue that him deciding to help Stitch in the climax so easily is actually pretty in character of him

As the series went on he became more humble and even he and Pleakley became sort of father figures to both Stitch and Lilo. Hell in the second film, we see just how desperate he became when Stitch's begins malfunctioning to the point where his life is at risk. That moment in the end where they all think Stitch had died and Jumba takes him out of the chamber and he just hugs him is legit one of my favorite moments in the entire series. The whole second movie showed just how much Jumba truly cares for Stitch and considers him family

Also before someone says it yes, I'm well aware of the alternate deleted scene of Jumba attacking Lilo's house where he's a lot more violent and sociopathic. But 1. It was cut and re-edited so the original cut of the scene isn't really canon. And 2. The reason why it was removed was not only was it considered too violent, but it made both Stitch and especially Jumba too unlikeable and irredeemable. Jumba and Pleakley were always intended to help out in the climax, so having Jumba be redeemed despite how he was more than willing to straight-up shoot Lilo during the house attack didn't sit right. Jumba was NEVER intended to be as cruel as Gantu, but they decided to make him EVEN CRUELER than most modern Disney villains in this remake

Removing all of Jumba's nuances and making him a mustache-twirling bad guy so you can force him to take Gantu's place isn't just character assassination, it's complete character annihilation. I'm sorry for the multiple posts on this film and if I come across as angry but I'm just so disgusted with how much they bastardised one of my favorite films of all time

LILO AND STITCH LIVE ACTION SPOILERS FIRST THOUGHTS ‼️‼️

pros:

• the girl playing lilo was amazing, probably one of the best parts of the movie

• hawaiian roller coaster ride was pretty fun, i still prefer the original version but this quite felt nostalgic

• pleakley and jumba trying to steal stitch on a jet ski was great 10/10

• lilo kissing stitch on the nose was so sweet :)))

• billy magnussen did really well with the screen time he had, props to him

• the angel easter egg was pretty cool

cons:

• NO JUMBA REDEMPTION ARC 😭😭😭 we were robbed of jumba and pleakley being lilo’s cool uncles and becoming part of the family WE WERE ROBBED

• no captain gantu what the hell???

• replacing gantu with jumba as the main villain was a mistake i said what i said

• pleakley my beloved diva what did they do to you :(( robbing that queen of her wigs and dresses was tragic 😭😭 animated pleakley is my all time favourite disney character fly high my beloved 🙏

• also why did pleakley only have like 3 minutes of screen time??

• not the biggest fan of replacing bubbles as the main social worker with another one for a good portion of the movie tbh

• no lilo with her photography hobby :(

• where was the ugly duckling scene?? literally one of the most important scenes in the original

[intergalacticsuperstar]

It has come to my attention that Disney did Jumba dirty

Thx for bastardizing a great movie and ruining the whole message with your live action slop

Too many people on this website said they hated found family and now they took the found family out of the Found Family movie
