Model Citizen: Mayhem at the Beach
Bedtime Story
WOW!..Full pencil test sequences from Lilo and Stitch. These are deleted sequences and have a mixture of rough pencil and cleaned (mostly rough)! These are some really nice pieces and I have always been really impressed how Andreas Deja guided his team with the subtle child like motions of Lilo. The Beach sequence has some uncomfortable comments made towards Lilo (trying to play on the ignorance of some tourists) and I would guess as far as the Bedtime Story goes...they wanted to go more direct to the point of showing the love between the two sisters even after the argument. I definitely would say that the sequence that they went with in the film is pretty strong. If you haven't seen the movie, do a comparison and see how you feel...discussion?
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

I can't actually remember the scene they went with in the film, but this one made my eyes water...
Both scenes were amazing, and it must have been heartbreaking to the animators having them cut!
can you list the animators if available? the scene with sisters is extraordinarily truthful and thoughtful...thanks so much for posting these.

I know Andreas Deja was the lead on Lilo and it stands to reason he touched a lot of these shots, but I will do some research to see if I can find out more about these sequences.

I believe Stephan St. Foi (not sure on the spelling) did Nani in the shots mentioned above-- and Andreas animated Lilo as well.

I have recommended your site to my animation loving friends! Love the pencil test work.
I loveee andreas dejaa drawings... so well donee!
I've view the scene from the movie and the pencil test, and its hard to say which scene is better. I think the story about the stinky bear helps the mood of the scene a little better. But the dialog in the movie caters to the flow of the movie. The key animated parts that capture the mood of the scene are still used. At the end of the day, the animation done is incredible! And the 2 of them screaming into the pillows was a great call by the director or whoever thought of it!
The thing I think works in the movie is the pacing for the sister scene. I like that the story in this pencil test is Lilo relating the toaster to herself, but the one in the movie, in my opinion, felt like exactly what a little girl who was just overwhelmed with emotions would do..And the feeling of wanting that reassurance that her sister still loves her seemed dead on... like you said though, both are good! Yeah the scream is fantastic.
While not a particularly good film, this is nice animation. Deja's never been known for his acting ability (he's a fair mimic), but these scenes come close to proving that notion wrong. Nice.
I'm looking forward to Writer/Director Dean DuBlois' and co-director Kris Sanders new film.
gotta love deja.
I think they should have made the film, couldn't have hurt it and I really like that story about toaster :P
Does girl control ocean?! ahhhh lol =) these are great, In the film i just things she points out that the siron mean wave lol, i think this might have been funnier... mm =) still really cool
thanx mate
I'm glad I got to see these scenes, and I'm glad they got cut. Sanders and DeBlois allowed the situation between the two title characters and Nani to build and collide just right, and this required slower initial pacing than previous Disney films of the renaissance. With that in mind, it was a smart polishing job to leave these moments out.
I love this site, I love the work. It is good for my drawing soul. Thanks.
Awww...they should have kept the tsunami sequence. It was soo funny and excellent! Thanks for this wonderful glimpse of what might have been.
These are greeat! I just saw the Bedtime story animation last week at a lecture Deja gave.. soo wonderful.. the guy is a serious force of nature with a pencil!
