Exclusive: Original Nani voice actor Tia Carrere speaks to Screen Rant about returning to Lilo and Stitch and supporting the new actors.

In the live-action Lilo & Stitch, the main antagonist is no longer Captain Gantu, but instead Jumba ( Zach Galifianakis ), hellbent on capturing his rogue experiment for his evil galactic domination plot.

Chris Sanders, who directed and co-wrote the original animated Lilo & Stitch (2002) with Dean DeBlois, voices Stitch in the live-action film. He also wrote on How to Train Your Dragon (2010), The Croods (2013) and on The Wild Robot (2024), which he also directed.
