Credit for Stitch Photo: DisneyWe all know that Stitch has a tendency to be a little strange. He is an alien after all! As odd as Stitch can be, he’s also endearing and adorable. In Disney’s new merchandise collection, Stitch Crashes Disney, designers have tried to capture Stitch’s strange-but-cute essence in the designs.
In this release, Stitch crashes iconic Disney movie scenes on merchandise for all to enjoy. For the January design, Stitch looked adorable and mischievous. He was wrapped up in some stained glass roses from Beauty and the Beast. This January design will be available to those who receive a MerchPass tomorrow and in stores soon (read this article for exact dates). Through January’s illustration was adorable, Disney previewed Stitch’s look for February and – it’s a bit strange, even for Stitch.
Lady and the Tramp x Stitch
Sometimes, weird can be cute and fun. There are other times, however, when weird is just weird. In my personal opinion, this idea is one of those times. You can tell that this design attempts to take inspiration from the ‘Bella Notte’ scene of Lady and the Tramp. Yet, all I see when I look at this pattern is some odd-looking ice cream. The plop of pasta on Stitch’s head looks more like a sundae than a heap of spaghetti.
Some reporters on the ITM team even discussed how the illustration on Stitch’s fur looks like pizza instead of spaghetti and meatballs. On the other hand, some of us noted that the shape and color of the meatball makes it look more like a strawberry.
I’m all for some mischievous fun with Stitch, but in my opinion, this art is sadly a swing and a miss. Part of me hopes perhaps this design will look cute up close — maybe the photos are misleading. However, I think even in person this design will hit your eye more like a big pizza pie than some romantic spaghetti on a lovely “Bella Notte.”
This product design – here forth referred to as “Stitch-ghetti” – even inspired some fun memes. Check them out and relish in the absurdity!
