The hell? They gender-swapped Bubbles?


Why? He was a great character! Instead they’re casting some overweight white chick?

And this comes at a time when people are bitching about the Hawaiian actors playing the lead roles not being dark enough? WTF?

This link says it will be Courtney B. Vance. https://news.yahoo.com/courtney-b-vance-joins-lilo-201016760.html

IMDB also says you are wrong. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11655566/

Ah. Good. Though I don’t think he fits the role.

I always thought that Ving Rhames would have made a good live action Bubbles though he might be too old for the role now.

He is 63 now, they could make it work.

reply

Agreed. Sadly, Michael Clarke Duncan isn’t with us anymore.

Ving Rhames was the original voice for Cobra, he would still be a good choice at the live action character.

I've watched Lilo & Stitch (2002) a few times and I love the movie. But until you pointed it out I never realized that Ving Rhames voiced Bubbles. Now I know why I like him for Bubbles in a live action movie

They didn't. They removed/replaced it.

Remember Mushu? They didn't
