Lilo & Stitch

The Hanapepe Cafe & Bakery. All photos by David Lansing.

I never saw the movie Lilo & Stitch but according to the woman who sold me a book on the flora and fauna on Kauai at Talk Story bookstore, Hanapepe was the inspiration for the setting in the Disney movie which came out in 2002. Oh, you should rent the movie, she told me. Our bookstore, the old cinema—they’re all in the movie. Which is amazing considering it was an animated flick.

Anyway, here are some more photos I took of Hanapepe. I’d be curious to know if anyone who saw the movie recognizes the locations.

    Have you run into Rosanne? I understand she has a nut farm in Hawaii.

    Never figured watching Lilo & Stitch was going to work in to my research plans for my Kauai trip….now I feel compelled.
