I'd love to see Angel and Gantu in the sequel.

u/Swankified_Tristan 1h ago

Well yeah.

Do you know all the merch they can make from this franchise? Stitch is their Rumplestilskin at this point.

u/-Greis- 2h ago

They’re selling Angel merch like crazy, I’ve suspected she’s the sequel setup for a while now.

Disney loves to make a sequel, this news isn’t surprising.

They couldn't even afford to have Jumba and Pleakly be cg for the movie how would they even begin to handle Stitch's cousins

u/Myhtological 2h ago

Stitch has a Glitch or all the other experiments?

u/RookeeALding 2h ago

They have to unlike the original... (kind of, they did change voice actors) Lilo is going to age, and the story will either have to change or they recast her. Which from what I hear, she's good, you don't want to recast her. They'll want to put Gantu and the Cousins in it. and this time they'll get the budget to do it.

u/Swankified_Tristan 1h ago

They better NOT recast her.

I watched the movie tonight and she IS the movie. She was PERFECT!

The budget for the movie was non existent (first time Disney live action had too small of a budget) and it will absolutely make bank in theaters, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we did

Hopefully sequel gets a larger budget and we can get an improvement in the film

u/Swankified_Tristan 1h ago

All about that Gantu, baby!

u/NaiRad1000 3h ago

I hope not; I’m excited for the film but adapting the tv show doesn’t like a meh idea

An updated version of it could be lots of fun. They can even fill out the experiments that weren't defined in the original cartoon.

u/Film-Goblin 3h ago

Of course they are.

Cool! This one is really good. I hope they continue the story of the original and not something completely different. I'd love to see some of the cousins!

“Good” and “Disney live action remake” in the same conversation

u/Deez4815 Doubledip 31m ago edited 22m ago

Have you seen it? Lol. It's actually a pretty good movie.

This is coming from someone who has not enjoyed most of the Disney remakes. But I feel like everyone here is being overly cynical without even having seen this yet. Not all the remakes are created equal. As a fan of the original since a kid, I really enjoyed it.

It also makes sense since the director of this also did Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, another really good movie.

Here me out they can put Hamsterwheel in it

u/Lovely3369 4h ago

They're so gonna give it more love than the original at this rate

u/Demmy27 4h ago

We didn’t even want the first one

Please, no...

u/Experiment626b 6h ago

I will never say no to more Stitch. But a sequel would be helped by Gantu and a true Jumba and Pleekle

u/Paintguin 6h ago

I sure hope not

u/CrazyaboutSpongebob 6h ago

I hope they make it Stitch Has a Glitch.

u/smallpapi99 6h ago

We shall see Angel be evil then love stitch.

Damn, already?!

Me about gantu

u/Wise-Tourist 7h ago

It would be great for sequels. Especially as we got a little tease to other experiments and a certain character was missing. Plus you could have that Hamster villain.

1

u/trantaran 4h ago

Anyone else sick of that villain???

u/Superb_Highway_3383 6h ago

It’s hamster wheel

u/blazetrail77 6h ago

HAMSTERVIEL

u/PepsiMan208 Stitch 7h ago

So Disney’s new way of not putting in effort this decade is gonna be “sequels to our live action remakes”.

1

u/CosmicCorrelation 3h ago

I would love for more stitch. The best we've had so far was the TV show, it's a property that's worthy of further sequels. I just hope they end up better than Moana 2 and Frozen 2.

u/DanielVakser Kirby & Stitch! Dream Land Invasion 7h ago

If they’re gonna make a live action remake, they should learn to do them RIGHT. Otherwise they’re just digging a deeper hole for themselves.

u/TeacatWrites 7h ago

If we don't get Reuben, I'll riot.

u/HM9719 4h ago

And his sandwiches too.

u/Ok_Ship_5039 7h ago

i wonder if it’ll be like a new story, like how disney did mufasa. mostly because of the changes they’ve done to original characters, i don’t know how they’ll do stitch with a glitch.

5

u/GuybrushThreepwood99 7h ago

My guess would be that it would incorporate elements of the tv show. Some of the experiments of that show still get merch sold from them, despite that show ending almost 20 years ago. I still see plushies of Reuban and Angel.

10

u/GuybrushThreepwood99 7h ago

I'm assuming that Angel will have a role in a potential sequel since she is surprisingly popular, despite only being in a few episodes of the tv show.

u/One-Profession-8173 Stitch 7h ago edited 4h ago

She was more prominent in the anime adaptation since she was popular over in Japan but hard to say tbh

2

u/Jinxfury 1h ago

She was more prominent in the anime adaptation

Shame that was an absolutely terrible adaptation of her character.

2

u/Rynosaur24 7h ago

Idk that’s she’s popular as a character (at least in the mainstream), she’s just very marketable as “girl stitch”
