While Sanders and Dean DeBlois wrote and directed the screenplay for the original 2002 film, Chris Kekaniokalani Bright penned the script. In addition to the first film, Sanders provided the character’s voice for a number of additional works, such as Lilo & Stitch: The Series, Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch (2005), and Leroy & Stitch (2006).
