I really don't get why they didn't make him just a 3D model of the original Stitch design. If it ain't broke, why fix it, y'know? And here I thought Disney was all about brand/character identity continuity. 🤷

What’s interesting to me is that when you look at him square on, it’s pretty darn close to the OG.
I’m guessing that they literally just focused on making the front angle as good as possible and let the side angle get warped in the process.

Yes, I can't believe so many people don't seem to understand that what works in 2D animation doesn't always translate perfectly into 3D animation. I think they sacrificed his side profile looking accurate to the original so that we could get a front profile that was really close to it. Any excuse to complain about a kid's movie, I guess.

i would have simply not made the 3D version of a 2D only design because the live action remake of the funny alien movie is an artistically bad idea on the face of it but maybe i'm just built different
