Disney enjoyed the success of live-action/CGI remakes of their animated classic and developed a new one for Lillo & Stitch with Marcel the shell with shoes director Dean Fleischer Camp at the helm.

They’re just starting to fill out the film’s cast, and it was recently announced Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) signed on to star in the project.
As for who he’ll be playing, The Wrap reports that he’ll be playing the alien character Pleakley, voiced by Kevin McDonald in the original animated film. Pleakley is a member of the Galactic Federation who reluctantly partnered with Jumba Jookiba as an “Earth expert” and was forced to help him capture the escaped Experiment 626 aka Stitch.
The original movie is such a fun movie! The story was set in Hawaii and told the story of the bond formed between a lonely young girl named Lilo and a lovable but dangerous alien named Stitch who was designed to be a force of destruction. The central theme of the film is family bonding, but the story also includes Lilo and Stitch on the run from pursuing aliens and social workers.
The film was written by Chris Kekaniokalani Brilliant, and while there aren’t many details about the film, I imagine this remake will tell the exact same story, but with live-action characters and realistic CGI effects. While some people don’t care for all these live-action/CGI remakes that Disney is developing, fans still flock to theaters to watch them and rake in the big bucks. So of course Disney will keep pumping them!
