Disney promoted this movie with a series of trailers inserting Stitch into some of its “classic” titles. Examples: - The Little Mermaid (1989): Stitch surfs a wave that crashes down on Ariel. - Beauty and the Beast (1991): Stitch causes the chandelier to fall during the ballroom scene, nearly smashing Belle and the Beast - Aladdin (1992): Stitch steals Princess Jasmine from Aladdin during the “A Whole New World” magic carpet ride. - The Lion King (1994): Stitch takes Simba’s place on Pride Rock during the “Circle of Life” opening.

And the Mulan Poster behind a scared looking Nani. :)
Almost all of the landscape scenes in the movie are recognizable locations in Hawaii. This is especially true earlier in the movie when Lilo and Stitch are riding the bike around the island, and also in the closing sequence.
The surfer statue featured in the end credits is a real Hawaiian landmark on Waikiki Beach. It is of Duke Kahanamoku, a native Hawaiian considered the father of modern surfing and an Olympic gold medal winner. Nani also has a Duke poster in her bedroom.
The bottom is an actual photo of the Duke. With me and my husband in front of it…
Originally, Stitch was going to be an intergalactic gangster, Jumba was going to be a disgruntled member of his gang who was left behind during a heist and was going after him as revenge, and the other members of the gang would have been the ones who came to get him in the third act. The filmmakers felt that Stitch was more sympathetic when the audience thought of him as younger, and so was changed from a hardened criminal to a genetic experiment, and Jumba became the scientist who created him.
When Stitch strikes Jumba with a car and sends him flying to Nani’s room she has a poster of Duke on the wall. When Stitch delivers a second blow the facial expression on Duke’s face changes.
The two small black and white dogs that were part of the first group of canines Stitch met at the pound resemble the two dogs that belong toDean DeBlois. One of his dogs was recorded (breathing, grunting, etc.) and mixed in with Chris Sanders’s performance as Stitch.

“He Mele No Lilo” has caused debate regarding intellectual property rights. The “Mele” is a melding of two older chants to King David Kalakaua and Queen Lili’uokalani.
