R/Disney comment
“This was not a story of Lilo and Stitch, this was a story of Nani,” said an annoying TownidioT25. “And, like a Nani story, I don’t like how they changed the end completely when it comes to the situation of lilo guardianship.”
“In the end, they actually have Nani to give Lilo to the neighbors (… although Nani gives Lilo to the first state) and going to university, which feels completely wrong and out of place,” added Spider-Man2401. However, the most frustrated reaction I have seen comes from Noakai, who wrote: “Nani to accept giving the custody of Lilo to the state and then Lilo will live with other people so that Nani can go to California for the university is so surprisingly stupid that I cannot believe that they have gone.”
