Lilo & StitchThe first wave of news came a few weeks back when Disney found their Lilo in little Maia Kealoha, a Hawaiian child actress. Also announced wasactress Sydney Agudong, who is gearing up for her role of Nani, Lilo’s headstrong and caring big sister.Though Agudong was reportedly born and raised in Hawaii, many enthusiasts of the original cartoon couldn’t help that the casting was symptomatic of a bigger problem in the entertainment industry: whitewashing.
In the days following, Kahiau Machado was cast as David, Nani’s love interest. Machado got a better reaction than Agudong, though some still point out that in side-by-side comparisons, both live action actors are noticeably lighter than the original cartoon. At the time of the 2002 original’s release, Nani was the only leading Disney woman with darker skin.
“A lot of people grew up with Lilo and Stitch like with any other Disney movies their live action remakes always FAIL to capture what makes the originals so good and memorable people,” said“@PopCrave It's odd how it was great casting for Lilo, but everything after that has been a downgrade. Maybe these actors will fit the role well, maybe they were the best picks, someone will find out. Not me, I'm not watching this after they cut out Cobra Bubbles like that.
