Li(ve)lo & Stitch

[Daniel]

I'm embarrassed by the sheer amount of plushies I have. I lost count how many. Thankfully I only have one Funko Pop. The one where he's with the duckies: (goes for so much on eBay!)



Aww!

[Ben]

That actually works quite well as a Pop. Mainly because of the native black eyes, and because it doesn’t actually look much like a Pop!

[ShyViolet]

That’s cuteness on an epic scale!

We officially have our big sister.

Also looked it up. Lilo had an 80 million budget. It made 273.1m world wide!

[Daniel]

Yeah, news broke right when the same old tired inaccuracies and falsehoods were being thrown around. And will no doubt again. I think Sydney will make a good Nani!

Coulda made a cool Aladdin!

Jolene Purdy joins cast as Mrs. Kekoa:



If the name doesn't ring a bell, that's because she's a new character who will replace Cobra Bubbles. That's a bit of a bummer.

[EricJ]

And means that they'll pretty well have to ditch the original ending, where everything was saved by Cobra's old CIA past knowing the Grand Councilwoman from way back.
Unless they decide to make Ms. K a UFO nut who happened to have met her.

Or, like most Disney LA's, they'll just make up crap.

[Ben]

Or…dun-dun-duuuuuun! Maybe she was just in the CIA herself? Kekoa is Hawaiian for fierce warrior (don’t ask me how I know that!) so she obviously has a past…


And, yeah, okay, I’ll play: Disney LA’s what?

[Daniel]

If so it's still fundamentally the same character. It could work!

"in the role of Cobra Bubbles"... so that above story was a load of bunk. I thought the original reporting was (which is why I never posted it) but since they doubled down with a name and everything... regardless, yay! Shame they didn't just get Ving Rhames, though!

[Ben]

Nah, he’s too busy helping Ethan Hunt.

[Bill1978]

Hunt what?
