\u201cLilo and Stitch\u201d 2002<\/p>\n

Deleted Scene<\/p>\n

Lilo plays a trick on the tourists.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

IF YOU LIVED HERE YOU\u2019D UNDERSTAND<\/strong><\/p>\n

I desperately need to understand<\/p>\n

WHY<\/p>\n

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY<\/p>\n

Was this scene cut from the movie??!!<\/p>\n

Fucking christ, do you know what this would have done? What this would have meant to SO MANY people?? \u00a0The truth of this is devastating. And to think it almost found it\u2019s way into a DISNEY film??<\/p>\n

The inclusion of this scene alone would have made it the greatest animated feature the company ever produced. Easily. And if you think that\u2019s hyperbolic clearly you don\u2019t understand.<\/em><\/p>\n

No, really, if anyone knows why this was cut PLEASE let me know.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

oh man WHY WOULD they cut this, this is so great, holy MOLY<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It was clearly something the crew was very reluctant to get rid of if it made it all the way to rough-clean (and in a few scenes clean!), fully inbetweened animation. That is like, thousands and thousands of dollars and weeks (months?!) of labour. Maybe a reluctant producer decided they would alienate their white middle-class American audiences by making them feel \u201ctoo guilty\u201d and pressed them to drop it? It\u2019s unfortunate, it\u2019s one of the most honest accounts of racism in a Disney movie (which is why it\u2019s believable that someone got uncomfortable and made a case to get it chopped)<\/p>\n

Designing entertainment by committee for maximum marketability is probably the most heartbreaking process in Hollywood.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019ve been seeing this around my dash and think it deserves some more recognition!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This shit is hilarious, too.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

NO WAIT SHIT<\/p>\n

I GET IT NOW<\/p>\n

I GET WHY SHE WAS PHOTOGRAPHING TOURISTS AS A HOBBY<\/p>\n

SHE WAS BEING FUCKING SATIRICAL AND OBJECTIFYING<\/p>\n

IT\u2019S NOT BECAUSE SHE\u2019S A DUMB KID WITH A WEIRD HOBBY IT\u2019S BECAUSE THEY DO THAT TO HER AND HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY LIKE SHE\u2019S SOME KIND OF FUCKING THEME PARK CHARACTER AND SHE WANTS THEM TO KNOW HOW IT FEELS<\/p>\n

HOLY FUCKING DICKS DISNEY WHY WOULD YOU CUT THIS<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

aaaa it makes me sooo angry that they cut this scene\u00a0; _ ;\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ok so the more I think about it the more I think this scene could have fit in the movie very well. Beyond the obvious indictment of stupid tourists visiting Hawaii.<\/p>\n

I was noticing the other day when I rewatched the movie, in the opening Stitch bites Gantu and he asks a fellow alien on the bridge \u201cDoes this look infected to you?\u201d It\u2019s a small moment that is later paralleled with Lilo!<\/em> When she gets in the fight with those girls she bites Myrtle. When they leave class you can hear Myrtle asking her friends \u201cDoes this look infected to you?\u201d<\/p>\n

I feel like the movie was trying to make it clear that both Lilo and Stitch were outcasts in their home societies. They didn\u2019t fit for various reasons. And this deleted scene could have highlighted another parallel, their very wicked and mischievous sensibility. Stitch is clearly a prankster and Lilo apparently could have been one too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I think they must have eventually put this particular facet aside because we have that scene in Nani\u2019s restaurant where Lilo has a diagram showing Stitch\u2019s badness level.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know why this scene got cut. This movie went through seriously wild changes in its story(Did you know originally Stitch was going to be an intelligent space gangster and Jumba was a former henchmen out for revenge?)<\/p>\n

But this scene does change how I view Lilo\u2019s personality and perhaps they were backing away from making her anything other than sweet and deeply quirky. Idk I was just thinking about the parallels and then I saw this and went \u2018huh\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
