‘Lilo & Stitch’ Director Dean Fleischer Camp, Stars Maia Kealoha & Sydney Elizebeth Agudong & Producer Jonathan Eirich Talk Contemporary Updates To Classic Story


Director Dean Fleischer Camp and stars Maia Kealoha and Sydney Elizebeth Agudong speak to Deadline about the making of 2025 Lilo & Sitch

During a press junket, Deadline spoke to Camp, producer Jonathan Eirich, Kealoha and Agudong about the new additions, casting and the joys of continuing the legacy of Lilo & Stitch. Given that Nani, who I always felt was a little too rose-colored glasses for somebody in her situation, was so smart and has had to abandon a lot of these dreams or defer them because she had to take care of her little sister and inherited all this responsibility at such a young age. We were able to go deeper and that was cool to focus on not just the Lilo and Stitch aspect of things alongside the chaos, but also the familial architecture in paying mind to Nani’s tough circumstances and how realistic her situation was.
