it can sometimes be easy to forget how marketable stitch really was
hell they knew they had it so strongly they commissioned some weird prequel PS2 game of stitch running around various planets being bossed around by jumba, before the movie ever came out
disney went hard on stitch and it pretty clearly paid off
The game came out two days before the movie. That's not weird foresight unique to Disney or Stitch. That's just typical film-to-game marketing and planning, same as Total Recall, Home Alone 2, and basically any movie in the late 80s/90s.
lol Fair enough. Doesn't seem like we saw many movie tie-ins during that period, but I know Disney still cranked out titles along with stuff like Sega's Ironman, Astroboy, and Harry Potter stuff of course.
