IN the long line of Disney’s live-action remakes, Lilo & Stitch joins the class of well-cast, well-budgeted reimaginings that feel… fine. Not offensively bad. Not memorably good. Just somewhere orbiting Planet Okay. Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On), the film checks the boxes: beautiful Hawaiian backdrops, a fluffy blue alien and a story about family that still says “ohana.” But somewhere between the sun-soaked visuals and the CGI shenanigans, the remake forgets to pack one crucial thing for its theatrical vacation: its soul.
Lilo & Stitch lacking in soul
