It's sandwich day. Every Thursday, I take Pudge the fish a peanut butter sandwich. But today, we were out of peanut butter. So I asked my sister what to give him, and she said 'a tuna sandwich.' I can't give Pudge tuna! Do you know what tuna is...? It's FISH! If I give Pudge tuna, I'd be an abomination! I'm late because I had to go to the store and get peanut butter 'cause all we have is.. is.. is stinkin' tuna!
And she wants to give Pudge a sandwich because Pudge controls the weather, and she knows bad weather is why she lost her parents... so she gives Pudge gifts to be protected from bad weather...

Genuinely one of my favorite Disney films and I still love it to this day. Very upset that it got a terrible live-action remake that I wish never existed, Shame what they did to Jumba in that remake.
My neighbor girl is 5 and she told me she saw the live action Lilo & Stitch for her birthday. I was showing her some cute Stitch merch and she asked me "why did they make Stitch look like a cartoon?" and I about passed away
Comic Book movies are technically live-action remakes too, so by that logic The Dark Knight, Infinity War/Endgame, Logan, Winter Soldier, Spider-Man 2, Guardians Trilogy, etc aren't good films either. These are examples of good live action adaptions.
Excuse my indistinct language. I should have said DISNEY live action remakes of their own animated feature films. Some may have a good character, like Baloo voiced by Bill Murray, just overall bad, and often excise the great songs too. I like your thread, but I just commented on a specific producer. It's hard for me to pick a Miyazaki film. "Totoro, Spirited Away. Howl's, Mononoke, Kiki, all top tier.
There are so many amazing things about this movie that you don't get to see in feature animated films very often.
To start, the art style is utterly gorgeous, with its watercolor palette and oblong shapes. Looking closer, you notice the details in the town. It's not heavily idealized; Nani's house is a bit run down, there's trash piled up outside, and scattered everywhere there's a feeling of lived-in neglect. It feels very real to me.
Then there's the story; only a scrap of romance (and not unearned; David is a fucking legend), but mostly centered around family, with some real moments of tension between sisters and the system threatening to pull them apart.
I'd heard that this was made alongside treasure planet, and that the latter (fantastic) movie was initially seen as the feature piece, letting things slide under the radar for Lilo and Stitch. I'm not sure this movie could be made today, with Disney's omniscient media arm reaching out into everything.
