This is already my favorite live action Disney remake. The movie follows the animated movie pretty closely--sometimes line for line-- but mixes things up a little here and there, making it distinct from the original. I like the comedic timing from the core characters and Stitch's voice and mannerisms are still hilarious. The heartfelt moments are more emotional in this version because actors can, obviously, show emotions far better than a drawing. The weight of the sisters being separated is much heavier here than in 2002. No Captain Gantu in this version, and Zach Galifianakis wasn't a good choice voice-wise for Jumba, but these hiccups don't ruin another fun Hawaiian roller-coaster ride.
