Lilo & Stitch is the latest of the Disney animated movies to get a live-action makeover. Well, it’s technically a hybrid makeover, since some of the characters are CGI creations. Zach Galifinakis gets the best of both worlds in the movie: He plays the alien mad scientist Dr. Jumba Jookiba in live action when the character assumes human form, and he voices the character in its alien form. And he thinks it’s those new live-action elements that will have fans of the original movie — and a new generation of viewers — falling in love with the new version.
