From IMDb: “TEMPORARY Live-action remake of Disney’s animated classic ‘Lilo and Stitch’.”
Poster Rating: C- / C / C-

Review: (#1, C-) It wasn’t necessary to only use Stitch as the face of the film. It may make sense but it was cheaply done with ugly lettering color and white background. (#2, C) A teaser design that brings in the anthropomorphic coconuts from Moana 2 seems fitting but also rather desperate.
(#3, C-) It’s not clear if the marketing team realizes how cheap-looking their poster concepts are. The empty background (save the birds) and the chintzy Lion King motif just makes the whole thing look like mediocrity.
Trailer Rating: C- / C- / C+

Review: (#1, C-) Here we have another homage to the prior film that only highlights the fact that there was zero need to create a live-action version of any film, but Disney seems to disagree and this is the unfortunate result: a teaser that relies entirely on nostalgia and presents nothing that explains purpose.
(#2, C-) Another teaser trailer, this one even less interesting than the first. There is clearly an issue with the marketing team’s efforts for this film. While a lot of other Disney efforts have felt a bit bland, this one is trying something different. That should make it interesting but it doesn’t. It only makes the efforts look mediocre.
(#3, C+) While this looks like a scene-for-scene remake of the original film, a detriment in itself, the charm of the original comes through somewhat. It makes the film seem like something that kids are going to want to go see, though fans of the original might be nonplussed with its lack of deviation.
Oscar Prospects:
None.
