Stitch's Great Escape! To Bust Loose This Fall

Fans of Walt Disney Pictures' hit film “Lilo & Stitch” know him as a cuddly but destructive alien prone to hilarious fits of havoc. But what was Stitch like before the movie?

This fall, Walt Disney World guests will find out when they come face to face with the mischievous character in a new Magic Kingdom attraction - Stitch's Great Escape!

Under construction on the former site of The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter, the kid-friendly Tomorrowland adventure will put guests in the middle of the mayhem caused by the naughty Experiment 626 - a.k.a. Stitch - when he's captured by the Galactic Federation and teleported to a processing center for alien prisoners.

Park guests are recruited to provide additional security as the six-limbed alien arrives with a reputation for playful disobedience - and an appetite for chaos that exceeds all limits. Sights, sounds and - ewwww! - smells add to the pandemonium.

Walt Disney Imagineers are tackling the challenge of bringing a character from an animated film to life as an Audio-Animatronics figure. The result is a 39-inch-tall version of the unstoppable blue menace animated with a breathtaking degree of realism, one of the most complex creations of its size, custom-made by Imagineers with more than 350 detailed, hand-machined parts and more than 40 separate functions.

In addition to Stitch, the fun-filled attraction will feature several characters familiar to fans of the film, including the Galactic Federation’s Grand Councilwoman, Captain Gantu and Agent Pleakley, with voices supplied by the movie’s original actors. Skippy, the hapless alien “volunteered” for a teleportation demonstration in The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter, will return in a new role.

Also featured will be two “plasma cannons” that follow Stitch's DNA whenever - and wherever - it moves.

Stitch's Great Escape! will offer Disney's FASTPASS, the innovative free service available to all guests that eliminates the need to wait in long lines for popular attractions.

Now does this mean that the Skippy animatronic will be taking a new role in that it will be a different character and will look different? Or does this mean that the character of Skippy will be the same and he will look the same? The PR is kind of vague on that. Of course not too many people give a crap :lol:

Skippy will look the same but he won't be doing the same things. He will most likely have a minor roll. I'm thinking the preshow will be something like "this is Experiment 654, but we call him Skippy. We are enlisting your help to control one of his friends, Experiment 626".

Well if that is true, it will be a nice touch. It's the least they can do :). I'm still holding out to see if they put an animated Chairman Clench in a jail cell :lol: That would be an ultimate in joke for those that knew who played the character in AE.

Skippy was my favorite part of AE and the only thing I knew I'd miss when I heard it was closing. I'm trilled that he will be back in SGE!

Very good Update: Thanks for the info.
I have to admit that I had my doubts about SGE, but it seems like it is coming together nicely.

especially if what I read on screamscape, (taking it with a grain of salt), is right about Stitch escaping from the building and "attacking" riders on the Astro Orbiter!

Ummmmmmm... Skippy didn't get fired. This thread says he has a small role in the new Stitch attraction.

Well Chairman Clench was played by Jeffrey Jones.

You can go search for yourself to find out the reason Clench behind bars would be funny (Even though Jones is not in jail). I don't think it would be right for me to post the full details here.

Do we know if SIR is in the ride or not? I've heard conflicting reports.

1 - that he is a cop

2 - he was scrapped for parts

FYI- At the beginning of Lilo & Stitch, there are two cannons locked onto Stitch's DNA. He spits on the prision guard so the cannons shoot the guard and Stitch escapes. -Steph
