Remember Lilo & Stitch - the 2002 Disney animated film about an orphaned girl named Lilo adopting Stitch, a genetically engineered alien designed for chaos who then becomes her family? Well, guess what? The beloved characters are coming back in an all-new live-action film set to release on May 23 this year, and Disney just dropped the trailer!
After watching the trailer, fans were quick to notice Pleakley, one of the beloved characters from the Lilo & Stitch universe. However, many were surprised and some even upset to see that he wasn’t a drag like in the 2002 animated movie, where his cross-dressing was one of his most endearing and hilarious qualities.
Hilarious Fan Reactions
Fans were quite amused by Pleakley’s first look in the trailer and had plenty of hilarious things to say about it.
"Remake it again," a fan demanded.
It seems Pleakley’s new look in the trailer doesn’t have this fan convinced, who now wants Disney to spend millions of dollars again to remake it. Let’s hope this doesn’t turn into a case where fans are left wanting a remake of a remake!
"Pleakley look like he just saw the cgi budget for this movie," joked another.
The trailer featured Pleakley giving a hilarious expression of both shock and fear. Maybe he just saw the massive CGI budget of the new live-action movie and completely freaked out!
