Lilo and Stitch is one of the funniest Disney classics. At the time, from a budget of $80 million dollars, it managed to raise more than $200 million dollars. In addition, it was nominated for important awards such as the Oscar and the Annie (awards specializing in animation). This success, coupled with the current trend of turning Disney classics into movies live actiongives as a result that soon we will see the adaptation of Lilo and Stitch onscreen. And Disney already found her Lilo in Maia Kealoha.
Who is Maia Kealoha, the new Lilo?
The young Maia Kealoha is chosen to play the nice character of Lilo in this version live action preparing the mouse study. The information comes thanks to the site Knight Edge Mediawho released the exclusive (later confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter).
The process to choose the protagonist of the film was given through an open call in which a Hawaiian girl between 6 and 8 years old was sought. That’s how Kealoha got into the role of her. And while this is her first acting job, Maia is no stranger to performing in front of an audience. According to the same site, she has participated in several “Little Miss Kona Coffee” contests.
when can we see Lilo and Stitch live-action?
