Lilo & Stitch
Summary
Nani Pelekai may not be an prescribed Disney princess , but the co - star ofLilo & Stitchis as all-important as Cinderella or Ariel , and just as epic as Merida or Mulan . With aLilo & Stitchlive - action remake in the works , everyone will get a monitor of an undisputable fact I ’ve come around to since rewatching my favorite Pacific Island - set Disney movie . As great as it is , Moanadoesn’t have my dream Hawaii house , so it never really stand up a luck . But what I realized upon rewatchingLilo & Stitchis that Nani is the movie ’s veridical hero .
While much of the talking about thelive - actionLilo & Stitchmay be about the Nani casting controversysurrounding take a lighter - skinned actor for a dark - skinned reference , hopefully , some of the conversation will be about how Nani , voiced by Tia Carrere in the renovate movie and play by Sydney Agudong in the plastic film , is the dead on target hero . In a movie with a superpowered dismal alien , a young daughter whose dear and braveness help to save the day , and a societal worker / former savior of the worldly concern , it ’s the beleaguered older sister Nani I ’ve come to make is the hero .
One of Lilo & Stitch ’s most memorable scenes hold a sad turn of events thanks to a theory , but it makes the overall story a mountain unspoilt and more interesting .
Nani Pelekai Was Just A Kid When She Took Responsibility For Her Sister In Lilo & Stitch
Nani Has To Balance Being A Caretaker, A Young Professional, And A Grieving Daughter
When you ’re young watchingLilo & Stitch , it can be well-situated to suppose of Nani as a smashed blanket . She ’s invariably thwarting Lilo and every prison term the young girl tries to have a small fun , Nani is there to stop her . But now I ’ve do to empathise just how heavy a gist Nani is carrying . Only a lilliputian older than 18 in the movie , Nani is Lilo ’s legal defender after their parent die . Nani must support down a task and be a female parent figure to a girl who is lashing out , while a social worker threatens to separate them up .
It ’s an incredibly actual portrait of a young person tasked with a down - to - dry land struggle , not a antic one that ’s commonly incur in children ’s movies .
Nani does all this while presumptively quiet sorrow her parent , though she has piddling time to actually contend with those feelings deliberate how she has to devote her meter to Lilo . Even dating is difficult for Nani , who has no time to bear attention to an concerned coworker , as her life is constantly interrupted by the demands of raising her baby . It ’s an incredibly real portrait of a unseasoned person tasked with a down - to - earthly concern struggle , not a fantastic one that ’s usually find in children ’s movies .

As I rewatchedLilo & Stitch , I came to see just how much Nani gives up for her sister . The things I laughed at before or side with Lilo on when I was young , like Nani go after down Lilo and throwing her in her room , were now apprehensible . She ’s accent out , incertain , and scantily hang on , and to have to carry those tactual sensation and still be a loving sister is exceptionally heroic .
Tia Carrere will repay for the hot - action remake as a new type , Mrs. Kekoa , a friendly neighbour to Nani and Lilo who understands Nani ’s struggles .
Everybody Forgets That Nani Is The One Who Gave Stitch To Lilo In The First Place
It Was Nani’s Idea To Go To The Animal Shelter
Let ’s also remember that it ’s Nani who gets Stitch for Lilo in the first position . Understanding that her sister needs a friend , Nani bring Lilo to the animal protection , where she right away takes to run up . I guess robustious wight are attract to one another . Despite some misgivings about Stitch not really being a dog , Nani get him for Lilo . In a scene I love , that speaks to the parsimony of the sisters , Nani set about to make up for Stitch , but Lilo insists she wants to buy him . Of course , she needs to borrow the money .
Nani rolls her eyes but hands Lilo the money for the transaction . It ’s the type of sibling moment inLilo & Stitchthat feels literal to me . You ’re annoyed by a unseasoned sibling , but if there ’s a chance to make them happy , you ’re still going to play along with whatever cockamamie game they want .
