He is based on the character of the same name from the 2002 animated film Pleakley made his debut in a previous. Vance's cobra bubbles, and billy magnussen's. What the lilo and stitch remake is getting right while the decision to have jumba and pleakley played by human actors in human form may be disappointing for some fans, the good news is dean fleischer camp and the team seemingly went all in on getting stitch just right and recapturing and enhancing the heart of the original film. Originally, jumba was a goofy character who wasn't taken seriously as an evil genius or a threat. Pleakley famously wears a dress, wig, and other traditionally feminine accessories throughout “lilo & stitch” and its sequels, in an effort to blend in with humans
Jumba dresses masculine, so the two “pass” as a heterosexual couple.
