Sanders created the Lilo & Stitch character Stitch, and voiced the character. Sanders began his career as a character designer for Jim Henson's Muppet Babies. He soon became the head storyboard artist for Walt Disney Feature Animation.
Stitch is created by Dr. Jumba Jookiba to cause chaos across the galaxy. Stitch is marked by his mischievous behavior, which endeared him to Lilo, who adopts him as her "dog".
Stitch's girlfriend is named Angel and she is a beautiful pink Alien. Angel is approximately 9-10 inches tall and has the authentic Disney Patch on her left foot.

Why is Stitch suddenly so popular?
The concept of 'Ohana', which means family in Hawaiian and signifies that nobody gets left behind or forgotten, is a key message in "Lilo & Stitch" and is likely a significant reason for Stitch's popularity. Fans appreciate the "whole 'ohana message" and its embodiment in Stitch's character.
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 ...
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".
That's because he noticed Nani and instantly retracted his lower pair of arms to hide his alien nature. Although initially, at the shelter, he did that with difficulty, he then obviously learned to do it extremely fast.
Lilo is a small, short, chubby, little, 6-year-old (7 at the end of Lilo & Stitch) Hawaiian girl with long, straight black hair, large, dark and almond-shaped brown eyes, a big nose and a round chubby face due to her age. She is most often seen wearing a red muumuu with white leaf patterns all over it and blue sandals.
Nani is Lilo's big sister, who is said to be nineteen years old in the first film. Throughout the movie, she aims to prove to her newly assigned social worker, Cobra Bubbles, that she is capable of caring for her younger sister, despite her age.
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.
Sanders stated in TikTok comments that it was the production crew of Lilo & Stitch: The Series who conceptualized (and named) the fictional semi-consistent Tantalog language by basing it on Sanders' (gibberish) alien lines as the voice of Stitch in the original Lilo & Stitch film.
Angel is the only experiment created by Jumba to not be regarded as one of Stitch's "cousins". Angel is regarded to be the breakout character for the sequel material of the franchise. Despite being a minor character in the original series, her popularity led to her recurring appearances in the later Stitch!
Lilo Pelekai. Lilo Pelekai (/ˈliːloʊ/ LEE-loh) (literally, "lost" in Hawaiian) is one of the two title characters of the franchise. She is a young Native Hawaiian girl who lives on the island of Kauaʻi with her older sister Nani and her extended family of alien visitors marooned on Earth.
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.
Keoni Jameson (voiced by Shaun Fleming) is a young, laid-back boy on whom Lilo has a crush. Lilo constantly tries to vie for his affections. He had a crush on Pleakley, whom he knows as Lilo's 'aunt', in the episode "Hunkahunka", but in "Nosy" he stated that he only had the crush for that one week.
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.
Stitch has a glitch because his molecules were never fully charged (this is different than a deleted opening, "Stitch's trial", which was seen on the DVD release of Lilo & Stitch). Lilo wants to win the May Day hula contest like her mother did in the 1970s, but Stitch continues to have problems.
The film is based on an idea by Sanders, who originally conceived the character Stitch in the 1980s, and the film's design and aesthetics are based on his personal art style.
Cast. Chris Sanders as Stitch, a blue koala-like illegal genetic experiment (of which he is Experiment 626) from the planet Turo who finds his place as part of an extended family on Earth, but begins having malfunctioning glitches as his molecules were not completely charged when he was created.
