She attends hula school and her hobbies include the photography of obese tourists, talking about creatures from horror/sci-fi movies, and capturing and rehabilitating Jumba's evil genetic experiments.
Lilo attends hula school and her hobbies include the photography of tourists (especially obese people), talking about creatures from horror/sci-fi movies, and capturing and rehabilitating Jumba's evil genetic experiments.
Lilo loves and misses her parents very much, and so does Nani. She keeps a picture of them under her pillow and initially would not allow Stitch to touch it (rejecting him when his fight with Jumba caused her house and the picture to become damaged).
While there appears to be no evidence that creators Chris Sanders and Dean Deblois intentionally made Lilo autistic, it is a widely accepted theory among fans—especially for those who are on the spectrum or believe themselves to be—that her neurodivergence is at least implied, much in the same way that other Disney ...
rebellious, spirited, and odd. Lilo is often alienated from the other children on the island, who consider her to be an irritating troublemaker. This doesn't stop Lilo from trying to hang out though, as she seems blissfully unaware of the fact that she is considered an outcast.
One of the odder things about Lilo was her obsession with taking pictures of tourists. There are a lot of theories about Lilo taking pictures because she wanted them to know what it felt like to be a local who has her picture taken all the time.
The film's story revolves around two individuals: an orphaned Hawaiian girl named Lilo Pelekai, who is raised by her older sister Nani after their parents' deaths, and the extraterrestrial creature Experiment 626, who is adopted by Lilo as her "dog" and renamed "Stitch".
The target was an overweight person, something Lilo distinctly remembers, and now she takes the same pictures as a way of remaining close to her deceased father."
Maia Kealoha as Lilo Pelekai, a six-year-old Native Hawaiian girl "who loves hula, surfing, and wildlife, with a special affinity for all things 'gross.'" She's very imaginative yet rebellious, which gets her into trouble often and ostracizes her from her classmates, who consider her a "weirdie".
Disney's live-action Lilo & Stitch film has cast newcomer Kahiau Machado as David Kawena, Nani's love interest and Lilo's friend, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Disney declined to comment.
Lilo is a lonely Hawaiian girl who adopts a small ugly "dog," whom she names Stitch. Stitch would be the perfect pet if he weren't in reality a genetic experiment who has escaped from an alien planet and crash-landed on Earth.
But fans of the beloved animated film are questioning the company's choice to cast Agudong for the role based on her ethnicity and skin complexion. Lilo and her family are Pacific Islanders of Hawaiian descent.
Lilo turns 7 in the original movie's ending montage and remains that age throughout Lilo & Stitch 2 and Stitch: The Movie. She then has her 8th birthday in the TV series and she is almost 10 by the end of Leroy & Stitch.
According to THR, Machado was replaced after posts using racial slurs, specifically the N-word, were found in the actor's social media history during Disney's vetting process.
Also known as Experiment 624, she is a pink female experiment who is Stitch's love interest. Stitch is madly in love with her and she shares the same feeling. Having become an intergalactic singing icon, Angel travels a lot, but she stops at the island, at times, to visit Stitch and Yuna.
A running gag in Lilo & Stitch: The Series features Pleakley cooking Thanksgiving dinner, which he believes happens once a month. Ironically, despite disguising himself as a human woman, he hates his first name "Wendy", which is typically a female human name.
Ani Pelekai is Lilo Pelekai's daughter and Nani's niece seen in Stitch! She looks exactly like her mother when she was her age to the point that Stitch fully believed she was Lilo until her mother appeared.
