Disney Channel has debuted another new Chibi Tiny Tales short featuring the characters from the Walt Disney Animation Studios classic, Lilo & Stitch, that can now be seen on their YouTube channel, as well as peppered throughout the programming of the cable network.
What’s Happening:
- The latest in a set of new Chibi Tiny Tales shorts celebrating the 2002 Walt Disney Animation Studios film, Lilo & Stitch, has debuted, telling a new story where Lilo sets out to get Pudge the fish his peanut butter sandwich.
- Fans of the original film will recall that Lilo regularly brings a peanut butter sandwich to feed Pudge the fish as an offering since Pudge controls the weather. Fans of the original film who pay close attention will recall that Lilo and Nani’s parents passed away in a car wreck in the rain, potentially why Lilo is so adamant on feeding the fish with such regularity, though it is never outwardly said.
- This new Chibi Tiny Tales also includes a blink and you’ll miss it reference to a recent decision to censor a moment in the original Lilo & Stitch as seen on Disney+. The new edited version shows Lilo hiding in a cabinet next to the washing machine, replacing a dryer as seen in the original film for fear of copycat ideas.
- This is actually the third entry in the Lilo & Stitch Chibi Tiny Tales, released as part of Disney Channel’s Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Initiative that is taking place on the network throughout the month. You can check out the previous entries below:
- The 2002 cult-classic from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Lilo & Stitch, tells the story of an experimental genetic abomination who made an escape and crash landed on Earth in Hawaii, where he passes himself off as a dog and gets adopted by a young girl named Lilo. Together, the two outcasts form a strong bond through adventures and hijinks and learn that OHana means family, even if you aren’t related by blood.
- The film is also being adapted into a live-action adventure currently set for Disney+, starring Zach Galifianakis among others.
- Chibi Tiny Tales typically adapts many of the Disney Channel and Disney XD shows into their format, including Big City Greens, The Owl House, Amphibia, and others, including the popular Disney Channel Original Movies like High School Musical and ZOMBIES. The shorts proved so popular that a new series had even been developed for the network, Chibiverse.
- You can catch this chibi short along with others on Disney Channel, Disney XD, and the Disney Channel YouTube account.
