LILO & STITCH
https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/1258732
Starring Maia Kealoha, Sydney Agudong, & Chris Sanders
A lonely Hawaiian girl befriends a runaway alien, helping to mend her fragmented family.
Chris Sanders, the director, writer, and story creator of Lilo & Stitch (2002), reprises his role as Stitch. He had to juggle his voice work with making his blockbuster hit animated drama The Wild Robot (2024) at the same time.
When casting the role of Lilo, Dean Fleischer Camp prepared himself for the onslaught of stage parents carting their kids to auditions. He wasn’t, however, looking for that kind of child actor. “Kids are so impressionable, and their brains are sponges that they know what got them that Cheerios commercial, and they know that it’s being cute,” he explains. The downside to that type of kid actor, he adds, is “people are really good at detecting when cuteness is a put-on. So we were looking for a kid who maybe was less experienced and someone that we could work with.” Maia Kealoha, he says, was the furthest thing from those booked-and-busy young actors: “She may have been the only one we auditioned where it was so obvious that she was dragging her parents to these auditions and not the other way around.”
Tia Carrere, the original voice of Nani Pelekai in Lilo & Stitch (2002), is cast in this film as Mrs. Kekoa, a new character.
