"Lilo & Stitch" Director Chris Sanders Discovers Stitch Fab 50 Statue at the Magic Kingdom

Chris Sanders, director of Lilo & Stitch, shared a fun video where he discovered the Stitch Fab 50 statue at Walt Disney World for the first time.

What’s Happening:

In addition to directing Lilo & Stitch, Sanders is actually also the voice of the mischievous blue alien.
The director shared a fun TikTok where he discovered the Stitch Fab 50 statue in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom for the first time.
As with all Fab 50 statues, when you wave a MagicBand+ near it, it activates a voice recording of Stitch, which is provided by Sanders himself.

When you’re me, on property, I have this surreal thing that happens every time I see a plush, a T shirt, Stitch ears on someone’s head. But this is a new level of surprise. ..Hearing myself. #stitch #Stitch #liloandstitch #disney100 #disney100thcelebration #charactervoice #chrissanders

Even though the 50th anniversary celebration of Walt Disney World has come to an end, the Fab 50 statues will be sticking around for “just a bit longer.”
Sanders will be making a return to the world of Lilo & Stitch, as he will once again provide the voice of the character in the upcoming live-action adaptation.
Other Disney credits for Sanders include The Rescuers Down Under, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Mulan and Fantasia 2000.
Following the release of Lilo & Stitch, Sanders left Disney to write and direct How to Train Your Dragon and The Croods for DreamWorks Animation.
Sanders returned to Disney to direct his first live-action feature, 20th Century Studios’ 2020 film The Call of the Wild, starring Harrison Ford.
