Stuff and Things

Wow thanks guy

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

This scene isn’t even fully animated and you can see that he is literally putting all of this together in real time; he analyzed her behavior and the significance of the fish in relation to the grave site. He probably understood her behavior better than she did at this moment. I don’t know why they cut this scene out, it obviously shows up in the film right before the surfing sequence - this is why Stitch changed. Not because they had some fun surfing on the beach, but because his highly intuitive brain finally put together who this little girl was, what exactly had happened to her and why she was so desperate for a friend.

Even further, I bet it suddenly clicked for him why Nani was so desperate for work that she was dragging them around all day. This is the scene where he realizes who they both are and what they’ve been through and probably relates it to his own lack of a family and need for one, as well. This is when he starts to understand the meaning of family and realizes it’s what he wants and needs, as well.

Not to mention that chronologically this theme music would have appeared here just 10 or so minutes before the heartbreaking hammock scene - drawing a direct parallel between what Lilo had already lost and what she was about to lose because of his actions. This one scene would have added such a more distinct weight to the pivotal scenes of the movie.
