The Lilo & Stitch franchise encapsulates the very broad concept of family and takes the reality of it to interesting places. The backstory to the movie is that Lilo lost her parents in a car crash as a kid. Since then she's been raised by her big sister Nani who has to act as a parental figure and as a sister.

The SAG-AFTRA strike immediately halted production of Lilo & Stitch, as actors belonging to the union cannot participate in ongoing productions and cannot promote new releases they are involved in.
The 65th Episode Rule was a controversial rule that applied to all Disney television shows, particularly during the late 1990s and early 2000s stating that no show can go beyond 65 episodes (2 or 3 seasons).
The Disney Channel's 65th episode rule refers to a policy that the channel had in place for several years, which stated that a television series produced for the channel should not exceed 65 episodes. Once a show reached its 65th episode, it was typically not renewed for another season.
