Our Take On The Lilo & Stitch Super Bowl Teaser
It’s Time For A Real Trailer
The latest teaser is certainly adorable, butit would be nice to see more than just Stitch. Disney is hoping to use the adorable alien as its main marketing strategy, but Lilo is also essential totheLilo & Stitchstory. It is always fun to see Stitch causing chaos, but the shaky camera meant that not much insight could be garnered from this footage. His voice matched the animated movie, as did his chaotic personality, but that was all it truly provided. A trailer can offer more, especially only a few months away from the release date.
