Another day, another Disney live-action remake savaged by critics. On the day I'm writing this, Lilo & Stitch has been brutally panned ahead of its 23 May release. The Guardian didn't mince words, branding it a "monstrosity," while AV Club pleaded with cinemagoers to "forget and leave behind this dreadful take." We're a long way from the best animation styles.
When your marketing strategy depends on nostalgia but critics are actively begging audiences to preserve their childhood memories by staying away, you can't deny something's gone badly wrong.
