        There’s a backstory that’s revealed throughout the first Lilo and Stitch movie that Agent Bubbles was in the CIA in Roswell NM in the 60s and was able to smooth over an intergalactic incident by convincing the intergalactic government that earth is a critical ecosystem for protecting the endangered mosquito and to classify Earth as a wildlife preserve.

        So there’s jokes peppered throughout the film as Pleakley joins the escaped prisoner capture mission on Earth to ensure minimal disruption to the mosquito food chain.

        In case its not obvious, I recently rewatched that movie with my kids

          never watched it but the movie poster never suggested to me such a story! I thought stitch was just an ugly koala like animal

            The first film is actually very worth watching. The TV series is worth paying attention to with your kids, at least for the first episode or two

      Curious how the non-humans will look in the live-action version coming out. They got Stitch right, at least.

        almost right, still looks like an animated plush toy rather than an animal. they’re so close to getting out of the uncanny valley but didn’t quite make it

          But the thing is, Stitch DOES look like a plush toy. To make him look realistic they’d have to change his design quite a bit.

            he looks like a plush toy in the way that some cats and dogs do, not literally like he’s made of fabric and sewn together. He’s very explicitly organic what with the gene manipulation.
