      Put it in the pile with the rest of the live action swill Disney is pumping out for no reason whatsoever.

      They know they have the rights to the originals, right? They don’t have to make terrible knock-offs.

      It’s absolute garbage, and the ending literally goes against the theme of the first movie (eg - Nani gives Lilo up)

          They also neutered the political messaging of the film - the themes around tourism and how that affects native Hawaiians. Really wish that they had left this scene in the original animated movie.

          It’s just so gross, like an attempt to be faux progressive by shipping Nani off to college. Like I am Team Women in STEM - but, this is also playing into the fucked up history of indigenous people having their children removed by the state for bullshit and racist reasons. Especially when ICWA is not something 47 gives a rats ass about.
