8 reasons we're excited for the live-action Lilo & Stitch movie

3. The original cast is back

A great bit is that much of the film's original cast is taking part in this. Chris Sanders is once more voicing Stitch, his unique voice and growls, making their alien distinctive and one of a kind. Tia Carrere, who played Nani, is now a social worker, so it'll be fun seeing her and the new Nani (Sydney Agudong) getting along. Jason Scott Lee, who played Nani's boyfriend David, is a luau bar manager, while Amy Hill appears as David's grandmother. While sadly, Lilo herself, Daveigh Chase, has retired from acting, having the original cast members back gives this new version some great life. 

4. The new actors look just as fun

As fun as seeing the original cast members will be, the new actors look good too. Maia Kealoha looks downright adorable as Lilo and Sydney Agudong also fits the role of Nani well. They don't look like the spitting image of the animated versions, but they still work well and believable as sisters. Also, Courtney B. Vance is an inspired choice for Cora Bubbles, not the hulking brute but more believable as a social worker with a sinister past and should pull it off well. While Stitch is the star, the human characters look to be just as important.
