Social media is buzzing over the long-awaited trailer for Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch remake which made history as the second most-viewed live-action trailer (158 million views) in the entertainment giant’s history.

Check it out below:

Lilo & Stitch tells the ‘wildly funny’ and ‘touching’ story of a lonely Hawaiian girl and her fugitive alien BFF who helps to mend her broken family.

Based on the trailer, it has all the sweetness and hijinks of the original with some bold creative changes that sent fans into a frenzy.

One choice in particular was casting Courtney B. Vance as swole social worker/Man In Black Cobra Bubbles originally voiced and modeled after Ving Rhames.

( function() {
var func = function() {
var iframe = document.getElementById(‘wpcom-iframe-503b9d435dd5cee289336ebf1a3dffc3’)
if ( iframe ) {
iframe.onload = function() {
iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( {
‘msg_type’: ‘poll_size’,
‘frame_id’: ‘wpcom-iframe-503b9d435dd5cee289336ebf1a3dffc3’
}, “https://embeds.go.ione.nyc” );
}
}

// Autosize iframe
var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) {

var origin = document.createElement( ‘a’ );
origin.href = e.origin;

// Verify message origin
if ( ’embeds.go.ione.nyc’ !== origin.host )
return;

// Verify message is in a format we expect
if ( ‘object’ !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type )
return;

switch ( e.data.msg_type ) {
case ‘poll_size:response’:
var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id );

if ( iframe && ” === iframe.width )
iframe.width = ‘100%’;
if ( iframe && ” === iframe.height )
iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height );

return;
default:
return;
}
}

if ( ‘function’ === typeof window.addEventListener ) {
window.addEventListener( ‘message’, funcSizeResponse, false );
} else if ( ‘function’ === typeof window.attachEvent ) {
window.attachEvent( ‘onmessage’, funcSizeResponse );
}
}
if (document.readyState === ‘complete’) { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ }
else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( ‘DOMContentLoaded’, func, false ); }
else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( ‘onreadystatechange’, func ); }
} )();

Now, it’s not confirmed that Rhames didn’t return because of his tight Mission: Impossible filming schedule, but it makes sense as the reason why he’s not playing the live-action version of, well, himself.

( function() {
var func = function() {
var iframe = document.getElementById(‘wpcom-iframe-365d70ced47f1a1bf7df1e8955045dee’)
if ( iframe ) {
iframe.onload = function() {
iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( {
‘msg_type’: ‘poll_size’,
‘frame_id’: ‘wpcom-iframe-365d70ced47f1a1bf7df1e8955045dee’
}, “https://embeds.go.ione.nyc” );
}
}

// Autosize iframe
var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) {

var origin = document.createElement( ‘a’ );
origin.href = e.origin;

// Verify message origin
if ( ’embeds.go.ione.nyc’ !== origin.host )
return;

// Verify message is in a format we expect
if ( ‘object’ !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type )
return;

switch ( e.data.msg_type ) {
case ‘poll_size:response’:
var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id );

if ( iframe && ” === iframe.width )
iframe.width = ‘100%’;
if ( iframe && ” === iframe.height )
iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height );

return;
default:
return;
}
}

if ( ‘function’ === typeof window.addEventListener ) {
window.addEventListener( ‘message’, funcSizeResponse, false );
} else if ( ‘function’ === typeof window.attachEvent ) {
window.attachEvent( ‘onmessage’, funcSizeResponse );
}
}
if (document.readyState === ‘complete’) { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ }
else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( ‘DOMContentLoaded’, func, false ); }
else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( ‘onreadystatechange’, func ); }
} )();

Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp with a screenplay by Chris Kekaniokalani Bright and Mike Van Waes, the family-friendly film stars Maia Kealoha, Sydney Agudong, Billy Magnussen, Tia Carrere, Hannah Waddingham, and Chris Sanders with Courtney B. Vance and Zach Galifianakis, and introducing Maia Kealoha.

“I like that the story and the characters have endured,” said Sanders, co-director, co-writer, and voice of Stitch in the original 2002 film.

“It was my wish that the story and characters would have staying power, and I’m really glad that they have. I’ve never stopped doing the voice. I do it for all the different stage shows and parades and everything, and it’s nice to, several times a year, be able to revisit that character.”
