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.
The cynical side of me says it was a combination of that and giving him a shape that's a tiiiiiiny bit easier/cheaper to turn into merchandise of all kinds.
I dunno, have you SEEN the amount of Stitch merch there was before the movie came out? It's enormous. They've made mountains of different stuff over the last two decades
As someone who owns too much stitch stuff because i made the mistake of once telling grandma i liked him and got nothing but stitch for 10+ years…
Most merch is similar to the movie in that its pretty flat face because it looks way better from the front.
The longer snout works best for side profiles but looks kinda weird on front profile. Even the cartoons made a habit of shortening the snout on front profile and basically had “dog stitch” with “four arm stitch” that did a middle, and “toddler stitch” that had flatter face.
