Did you know Stitch was originally green? And no, he wasn’t modeled after a koala or French bulldog, creator Chris Sanders told me. “The thing I was thinking was a bat.”
Text that reads: During the animated film’s production, the biggest change to Stitch’s physique was switching his color from the original reptilian green to a cool blue — a suggestion that Sanders recalled was made by the head of the paint and ink department who thought that blue would make it more believable that certain characters mistake Stitch for a dog. (Bluey would agree.) However, popular assumptions that Stitch’s physical traits are based on those of a French bulldog or a koala are incorrect. “Those are legitimate comparisons,” Sanders said. “But the thing I was thinking was a bat.”
