Official Disney Store merch plagiarizes almost twenty-year-old fan art [UPDATE: Now removed]

Update (December 17, 2024): Disney Store has now removed the canvas from sale, and the artist has deleted her Facebook and Instagram posts displaying her art-copying canvas.

Original post: I recently found an art canvas being sold on Disney Store that plagiarizes a nearly two-decade old piece of fan art by artist Ribera, who was the best-known Lilo & Stitch fan artist back in the franchise's heyday.

The canvas piece is titled The Art of Being Friends and was made by Denyse Klette. It shows the human-alien duo in an art museum looking at a painting of themselves on a beach. The artwork is being sold on Disney Store as of this writing.

However, the artwork in the painting within the painting is a modified copy of Friends Forever by Ribera, which was originally published on February 25, 2005.

The similarities are uncanny; the poses are the same and the relative art style is very similar with only some slight modifications. Various details in the background and foreground have been added, changed, or removed to try to hide the fact that the canvas piece isn't original.

It's disappointing to see an artist copying someone else's fan art, and a rather old one at that, and managing to fool Disney into selling this.

It sounds like Stitch but it just doesn’t have the Stitchiness of Stitch. His mouth is too small. His nose is too small and too low down.

His ears are too furry. There’s too much teddy-bear-bunny, not enough insect-shark.

His ears should look almost-translucent, with fine fuzz, like bat ears! His nose should look stamped onto his face with gigantic nostrils, like a bulldog’s. His eyes should look bigger and blanker.

His mouth should make you think shark, like his whole head is resting on the hinge of his jaw. And the fur around his eyes should be much thinner and more peach fuzz like so that you can see the wrinkles in his flesh when he squints or makes snarly faces.

Why

Why is that so hard

he’s not cutesy and only-pretending-to-be-fierce. he’s not a kitten. He’s not made to appeal to the Minions and Toothless-but-only-Toothless-in-HTTYD-3 crowd.

There are NO BLACK LIPS. He’s not a dog. There are NO CAT-MUZZLE-UPPER-LIP-MUSCLES. He’s not a kitty. OR a bunny. Why are those two-front-teeth so so much smaller than the rest of his teeth? Why are all of the teeth so small??

Don’t you guys understand why he’s supposed to look more than just cute-but-acting-naughty?

He has to be able to look convincingly disgusting, and genuinely fearsome.

Look how whip-thin his eyes and eyebrows are. Look at how, like a snake mid-eat, you can see some of Pleakley’s head swelling Stitch’s throat. It is important that he look like a monster when he needs to because he is a monster.

If Stitch doesn’t look like the kind of small monster that can take big disgusting bites out of you, with jerky, spider-like movements and tiger-scrunched eyes then the whole emotional weight of the movie looks flimsy. We’ll forgive a cat for scratching us and giving us cat-scratch fever because it’s cute. If Stitch looks too cute, then the human brain goes, yeah, he pushed that little girl down and laughed at her pain, but look at his wittle face, he’s a babydoll, who could stay mad at him

We can easily see why Lilo puts up with him.

When the point is, we shouldn’t be able to see why Lilo puts up with him—not in and of himself. Stitch does nothing to deserve Lilo’s love, including being cute— actually, he’s gross and unsettling. He’s not even cute enough to want around as a snuggle-buddy. He’s certainly not cute enough to look unthreatening. Nobody in the movie runs up and asks to pet him. Nobody even looks like they want to. He’s not appealing in that way. The dogcatcher screams at him on sight. The tourists just stare when he walks up dressed as Elvis. Her friends immediately think he’s the ugliest thing in the world and don’t want him anywhere near them. David is sure it’s not a dog. Even the aliens in an intergalactic council find him not-appealing, on sight. They take him, as a threat, seriously, even before Jumba lists his powers.

All of that is not because Stitch really looks outrageously ugly.

⬆️ THAT is ugly. Can we all agree? That’s ugly. Whereas this:

Less ugly. Obviously I know that. But there are a couple things about Stitch that are not traditionally appealing, when the filmmakers could have made him traditionally appealing. If they wanted his nose to look muzzle-y, they could’ve. If they wanted his spine to bend at the hips like a human toddler’s they could’ve. If they wanted his mouth smaller and more cartoon-y, with kitty-cat lips, they could have done that. They chose to do the slightly more ugly thing instead. He’s still appealing. But he can look and be convincingly threatening, unattractive, and disgusting when he needs to be for the story.

The cuteness was a by-product. It was an artfully-done side. It was not the main course of what he’s supposed to look like. Again I say to you—he is not your Minions-loving Facebook Mom’s bumper sticker. He is supposed to walk the line between most-disgusting-pet-you-could-have and Gremlin-meets-E.T.

These teasers are totally catering to the people who like Stitch T-Shirts from WalMart but probably couldn’t explain the first thing about him as a character. And whatever, that’s fine. But the design affects the story, and the original story was so good.

This does not bode well.

"lil' habby," or "aibit" as he is often called, is a (CLASSIC SCI-FI VARIETY) AI built by habit many years ago. he is very versatile, and capable of jumping between any and all types of technological devices as a form of locomotion, environmental interaction, and technological control. however, he is most frequently seen smugly projecting off of one of habit's jacket panels, like some horrible parody of a pirate & his parrot.

kamal didn't sign up for any of this. (he did, actually, when habit announced one morning that he was quitting space dentistry forever in favor of pursuing a free & wild life as a traveling bounty hunter, and leaving the practice to kamal. this put kamal in the extremely difficult position of either a) realizing all his hopes and dreams by taking the money habit left him to finish his schooling and then inherit an entire dental clinic of his very own, thereby securing both his future and job satisfaction, or b) leave his entire life behind to impulsively blurt out "i'll come with you" in response to the announcement. but he really didn't sign up for any of this.)
