Mumbai, May 21 (NationPress) Chris Sanders and Zach Galifianakis shared their thoughts on their work in the cherished animated movie ‘Lilo & Stitch.’
They provided insights into the creative process and the hurdles they encountered, granting audiences a unique look behind the curtain of this legendary Disney classic. Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, the film features Maia Kealoha as Lilo, Sydney Agudong as Nani, Courtney B. Vance as Cobra Bubbles, Zach Galifianakis as the charming Dr. Jumba, and Tia Carrere as Mrs. Kekoa.
In sharing his experience, Chris Sanders, who returns to voice Stitch, admitted, “I won’t lie, I was very anxious. I think there’s a great deal of suspense when you hear things like that are going to happen.” Having collaborated with Disney on various projects since 2002, he was thrilled to join this film. Once he learned he was part of the project, it felt “like the most natural thing in the world to step into this and ensure they had that continuity.”
Zach Galifianakis, portraying Dr. Jumba, recounted his experience acting alongside an imaginary Stitch during filming. He noted that instead of the animated Stitch, they frequently acted opposite “tape or a tennis ball! Sometimes they would have a stuffed animal — but the three things that I mentioned still have more range than I do.”
“Lilo & Stitch,” produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Rideback, is a live-action animated remake of Disney’s beloved 2002 classic. The film had its world premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on May 17, 2025. The narrative follows Lilo, a lonely young girl who adopts Stitch, a dog-like alien with a hidden agenda. Unbeknownst to Lilo, Stitch was genetically engineered to wreak havoc, yet their bond strengthens as they confront threats from pursuing aliens and social workers. Together, they discover the true meaning of family and belonging.
Walt Disney Studios’ Lilo & Stitch is set to release in Indian theatres on May 23, 2025, with versions available in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
