Over the previous few years, Disney has actually pushed a bunch of live-action remakes of some basic movies, from Magnificence and the Beast to The Lion King — and, actually, they’ve all been fairly nice. But when this trailer for the live-action Lilo & Sew film proves something, I believe it’s that this Hawaiian journey goes to be one of the best remake but.
With Maia Kealoha starring as Lilo, Sydney Elizebeth Agudong as Nani, and authentic film writer-director Chris Sanders reprising his position as Sew, the film already has a fairly spectacular solid. Not solely is Zach Galifianakis included in an unidentified position, however Courtney B. Vance is taking on the position of Cobra Bubbles, the social employee answerable for ensuring Lilo’s secure residing with Nani. It… is likely to be my favourite casting of all time.
The trailer actually units the scene with loads of motion from each Lilo and Nani, however you additionally get to see a couple of totally different elements of the film that any Lilo & Sew fan can be enthusiastic about. Within the trailer, there are some peak moments from the 2002 animated movie (with an nearly cult-like following) that play proper into followers, like Sew browsing with Lilo and Nani and the person dropping his sno-cone on the seashore because the aliens come again to seek out Sew.
I additionally love all of the attractive Hawaii pictures all through the film — and that the trailer included the epic tune “Hawaiian Rollercoaster Experience.” Hawaii is as a lot a personality in Lilo & Sew as anybody else, and it appears prefer it’s going to be proven superbly all through the movie, honoring each little bit of the unimaginable island.
In fact, Sew isn’t totally “live-action,” however that doesn’t make the movie appear any much less actual. And having Sew blended in with live-action actors appears about as pure as it might get. I additionally love that Sew is simply Sew, and I really feel like bringing Sanders again to voice the position was key. Sew has an unimaginable following within the Disney universe. Grown adults carry Sew Loungefly baggage and put on Sew outfits, and there’s actually one thing to admire about how onerous he goes for all of it — and the way a lot Lilo loves him by means of it. (And actually, Nani. Give that lady a medal.)
Even when your kiddos haven’t seen the unique Lilo & Sew, I believe this live-action remake is the proper household film to kick off summer season. The whole storyline of Lilo & Sew is about loving our household and buddies by means of all their weirdness, together with making an attempt our greatest, even when it’s extremely troublesome. What higher life lesson to be taught from a little bit blue alien in Hawaii? The movie is ready to launch in theaters on Might 23, 2025.
