Following the same production format as recent live-action released by Disney, the film adapts much of the 2002 animation, recreating scenes that are easily identified, but also has some changes, which can go from the most subtle to the most notable-and that, not all, pleased the public.
One of the clear changes that divided fan opinions is that of Bubbles, presented in the animation as a former CIA agent who becomes the social worker responsible for following the case of Nani and Lilo after the death of his parents.

Already in the new live action, Bubbles, lived by the actor Courtney B. Vanceit appears only as an CIA agent responsible for investigating the arrival of an unidentified being in Hawaii, who crossed the earth’s atmosphere and caused destruction and confusion in a marriage. The position of social worker responsible for closely monitoring the case of Lilo and Nani was attributed to Mrs. Kekoa, character lived by Aunt Carrere.
*Curiosity: Aunt Carrere is Nani’s official voice actor in the 2002 animation.
Upon discovering that the possible alien had been adopted by a family, Cobra asks them to put him in disguise as a director of social assistance who needs to personally check the situation of Lilo and Nani, who was placed as an emergency.
Despite having divided opinions, in a recent interview with USA today, Dean Fleischer Campdirector responsible for the feature alongside Chris Sandersjustified the reason behind the character’s changes, where he said that all were made based on the realism that the live-action format requires.
According to the filmmaker, as much as, in the animation, it was easy for the public to believe that an imposing man who has a tattooed “charges” in his hands was a social worker, he would not apply to live-action. In addition, the relationship between Nani and Mrs. Kekoa seeks to bring even more depth to the plot.
“To justify the separation of these two girls in a live-action movie, it would not be possible for the representative of this antagonistic force to be a huge and comic guy with tattoos on the fingertips, which for some reason is also a social worker. […] This adult Nani, with all her wisdom, is now advising a younger version of herself. It’s beautiful, ”said Dean.
Already to Entertainment Weekly, Fleischer Camp He continues his explanation by saying that the decision has made the story even more real: “If Lilo’s drama is that it will separate from the sister, then you need a person who really takes care of this challenge. You can get away with it being the bubble snake in an animated movie – a huge 1.95 m guy with ‘snake’ tattooed in the fingers is somehow a social worker.
“I think you can’t do this the same way in a live-action movie. This guided many of our decisions-how to land the plane in terms of the emotional realities that were happening in the movie,” he said.
The live-action of “Lilo and Stich” is playing in theaters throughout Brazil.
