CLIPS on Instagram: "🎬 Fun Fact: Lilo & Stitch (2002) The film’s Hawaiian setting was brought to life with a unique watercolor background style — something rarely used in animation after the 1940s. The directors, Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, wanted the visuals to feel soft and storybook-like to match the intimate, family-centered story. This choice made Lilo & Stitch stand out visually from other animated films of its era and gave it a warm, hand-painted look that fans still recognize today.
