Is the new Lilo & Stitch remake a worthy successor to the 2002 classic? This week, I'm joined by Jack Martin of Film Feeder to break down Disney's latest live-action adaptation. We discuss everything from the film's "soulless" feeling to its questionable pacing and whether any of it works.
A huge thank you to Jack for the fantastic conversation! You can find all of his work at filmfeeder.co.uk.

What's The Movie About?
Disney’s Lilo & Stitch (2025) is the live-action reimagining of the 2002 animated classic. The story follows the bond between a lonely Hawaiian girl named Lilo, who adopts a chaotic alien, Experiment 626, from a shelter, believing he's a dog. Through her love, faith, and unwavering belief in ‘ohana, Lilo helps unlock Stitch's heart, all while they try to evade intergalactic capture.
