At present, Disney is successively remaking classic animations such as "Aladdin", "Mulan", "The Little Mermaid" into live-action versions, and according to foreign media news, 2002's "Star Baby" will also be remade! The film will be produced by the live-action Producers Dan Lin and Jonathan Arich, with Mike Van Voss writing the script, but the cast has yet to be announced. This live-action version of "Star Baby" may also be launched through the Disney streaming platform.
The animated film "Star Baby", released in the summer of 2002, tells the story of an orphan named Lilo who spends time with a blue alien animal named Stitch on the Hawaiian island of Kauai and gradually becomes a good friend. The film subverted Disney's animated tradition, with the protagonist being an alien monster whose appearance was unassuming and even a little ugly, so it attracted a lot of attention as soon as it came out.
The film was also introduced to China for release that year, and the boy idol group F4, which was popular throughout Asia at the time, sang the theme song of the Chinese version of the theme song "Can't help falling in love with you", which was a sensation.
"Star Baby" grossed 273 million yuan worldwide, followed by three sequels such as "Star Baby Stitch", "Star Baby 2: Stitch Has a Problem", "Star Baby: Ultimate Mission" and a TV animated series.
