I am spoiling the live action Lilo & Stitch. And I am doing it up front and plainly.
Do not fucking see this movie. Do not waste your money on this. Period.
They made Nani give Lilo up to the American government. They made Nani LEAVE Hawaii and pursue being a marine biologist. They made a native Hawaiian character give up her sibling to pursue a dream that she originally did not have. This is imperialist propaganda at its FINEST.
The original fucking movie is about family staying together. It's about indigenous people being able to stay with each other and stay in their home and be together! That's the whole fucking point! Nani is Lilo's last living relative on her homeland—it is jarring, it is disgusting and disturbing that Nani would not only leave her last blood relative alone, give her up to the very government that is harming native Hawaiians TODAY, but also travel to the "mainland" for her dream!
Not to mention, Nani's actress isn't fucking Hawaiian. She's much paler in photos and real life. They fucking darkened her for this movie.
Don't even get me started on the transgender subtext of Pleakley's "human" disguise from the original movie being completely erased in favor of him being played by a regular ass white man. Jumba doesn't have his accent, they made him more villainous, and his "human" disguise is a non-fat white man—which part of his original joke, I know, is that he was bigger and was more clumsy in the movie because of his size, but to have the main shape of his character completely removed is also fucking weird.
This live action movie is a desecration to the original. I encourage you to not see it, please. Don't give Disney any of your money on this one. Just watch the original. Please just watch the original.
The new message in the live action movie is disturbing and gross.
This is one of the most disrespectful live actions I've seen and heard of. I implore you to not watch it.

Some of you may know that I have been supporting @iyadsobhegaza 's GFM by offering commissions in exchange for donations. Some of you may have also noticed that his GFM is no longer up. Everyone who donated to it has gotten their money refunded.
Gofundme has deleted the only source of money for a family of 10 who are suffering under active genocide with no warning.
We need to hold GFM accountable. This is completely unacceptable. Iyad's fundraiser had raised upwards of £11k out of £60k and they have lost all of it. They are at ground zero again. Just this morning there was a massacre near where they were staying and many people were killed. Iyad's health is still deteriorating and they have not been able to treat their family member who has contracted hepatitis. They are all exhausted. We need to get them out as soon as possible.
They have opened a PayPal through a friend in Egypt, please donate if you can and please share:
If you got a refund of your donation you made to his GFM, please consider resending it here.
Iyad's GFM had been vetted by nabulsi here. If anyone has doubts to the legitimacy of this PayPal, Iyad will be making a post announcing it soon, but Internet and electricity are currently very hard to come by in Gaza so he has asked me to announce it for him first.
I AM STILL OFFERING COMMISSIONS IF YOU DONATE:
