So when are we going to see any live action from the live-action Lilo & Stitch?

The live-action Lilo & Stitch remake comes out in just three months, and Disney has been rolling out teases for it, but we haven’t seen anything live-action about it yet. I’m starting to wonder if there even is live action in it. And what’s even the point of doing a live-action remake if you’re just going to animate it? (Oh, right, billions of dollars.)

So far, all the promotional material for the movie has focused on Stitch, the adorable yet destructive blue alien. He crashes the Super Bowl! He kinda intercepts a moment from The Lion King! He smashes a sandcastle, in a scene taken straight from the original 2002 movie!

And while director Dean Fleischer Camp and his effects team definitely nailed Stitch’s design (admittedly, they had a solid blueprint from the original), it’s not Stitch I’m curious about at this point. We get it! We know he’s gonna be cute and rambunctious!

I try to be cautiously open-minded about Disney live-action remakes, even after they disappoint me time and time again. (Some more than others.) Lilo & Stitch is one of my favorite movies ever,........
