I Didn't Have Stitch Dancing To KPop Demon Hunters Music At Disney World On My Bingo Card, But I'm So Glad It Exists
Two of the biggest hits of the summer have been Disney's billion-dollar blockbuster, the live-action Lilo & Stitch, and Netflix and Sony Animation's KPop Demon Hunters. Considering the two blockbusters come from very different studios, you wouldn't expect to find them together, and yet that's exactly what's happening at Walt Disney World.
Stitch Is Apparently A Fan Of KPop Demon Hunters
A video on TikTok recently went viral from a recent guest at Disney World who was confused to see Stitch dancing at Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland, not to a song from the Lilo & Stitch soundtrack, but to 'Soda Pop,' one of the songs off the soundtrack to Kpop Demon Hunters.
It may seem strange, but the whole thing is still pretty amazing. I mean, everybody else is dancing around to the music of KPop Demon Hunters, so why should Stitch be left out? I love this video. The only problem is the small child who wants to meet Stitch, but has to be moved away so they don't get accidentally knocked over by the dancing character. I hope the kid got to say hi later.
I haven't even had a chance to watch KPop Demon Hunters yet, but my daughter is as obsessed with the soundtrack like everybody else, so I know the music well. If we'd been there, we would have been dancing along with Stitch to be sure.
Both the original post and the comments are seemingly blown away by the fact that Stitch is dancing to this particular song. While the music has been insanely popular for months, the simple fact that Disney doesn't own this particular IP makes it an odd choice. You wouldn't necessarily expect Disney World to give any space to music they don't own when there is so much Disney music that could be used instead.
Disney Parks Actually Use Non-Disney Music All The Time
While a certain amount of cognitive dissonance at seeing Stitch dance to 'Soda Pop' is to be expected, it's actually not all that unusual for Disney Parks to use popular music they don't own for entertainment like this, even when it runs up against IP that is arguably directly in competition with Disney.
Over at Disney California Adventure, when The Mad T Party Band used to perform, one of the songs that was in the setlist for a long time was Pharrell Williams' 'Happy,' a song that was written for the second Despicable Me. I'm sure a lot of people thought of the Illumination Animation movie when that song played, even though they were standing in the middle of the Disneyland Resort.
And who knows, at the rate at which Disney continues to buy things, maybe they'll end up owning KPop Demon Hunters, and then they can dance with Stitch at Disney World every day.

The photos come four years after Abby Hensel married her husband Josh Bowling in 2021 NEED TO KNOW Abby and Brittany Hensel were photographed carrying a newborn baby The conjoined twins were seen carrying a car seat with a baby in it as they entered a Tesla News broke last year in March that Abby had married a man named Josh Bowling Abby and Brittany Hensel were seen carrying a newborn baby while out running errands. The conjoined twins were photographed holding a newborn baby as they carried its car seat into their waiting car, according to photos first published by TMZ. The sisters were seen in a parking lot in Arden Hills, Minnesota, on Thursday, Aug. 14, as they loaded the car seat into a black Tesla. Abby and Brittany did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. Last year, news broke that Joshua Bowling had married Abby. Though the couple tied the knot in 2021, their wedding was not made public until March 2024, when Today obtained records confirming that the nuptials had taken place. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. After news of their marriage went public, Bowling changed his Facebook profile photo to feature both his wife Abby and her conjoined twin sister, Brittany. The picture was a cozy, smiley selfie featuring the trio, and appeared to have been snapped in cooler weather. Bowling wore a dark gray jacket and purple sweater, while the twins appeared to be wearing a dark, v-neck sweater. Prior to the selfie, which Bowling shared on Sept. 5, his past profile photos on Facebook have not included his wife or her conjoined twin, according to what is shared publicly on his account. In June 2024, the twins posted a TikTok of Abby and Bowling's wedding dance, which was set to an upbeat remix of "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele. In the clip, the TLC stars swayed side to side with their arms around Bowling's neck as his hands rested on their waist. Abby and Brittany also posted another TikTok video the same day, with the caption, "We know you think you know us🖤❤️🔥 #sisterhoodgoals #abbyandbrittanyhensel #happy." It included various clips of the two sisters together and featured Justine Skye's track "Collide," as the soundtrack. The two are dicephalic conjoined twins and share the same bloodstream and organs below the waist. Abby controls their right arm and leg, while Brittany controls the left. The twins first gained fame after they appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996, as well as gracing the cover of LIFE, and went on to star in a TLC reality show, Abby & Brittany, which showed their journey as they graduated from Minnesota's Bethel College and traveled over Europe.

Why Fans Think Lucy and Freddie From ‘Perfect Match' Are Dating
And so ends another season of Perfect Match, aka the most chaotic reality TV show on Netflix. This season was filled with drama (Louis Russell's surprise red carpet appearance with Huda Mustafa! Hannah Burns' mystery baby daddy! AD Smith and Ollie Sutherland's early reveal!) but it seems possible that AD and Ollie weren't the only two to get a happy ending. The latest theory: Fans think Lucy Syed and Freddie Powell are now an item. While season 3 winner Lucy ended the season with Daniel Perfetto and Freddie ended up with Madison Errichiello, it's already been revealed that (spoiler!) neither couple lasted. Lucy and Daniel split before they could even go on their all-expenses-paid vacation, and according to Freddie, he and Madison just couldn't make their long-distance relationship work. As Freddie said of Madison during a post-finale interview with Elite Daily, 'We carried on speaking afterwards, but we were very realistic about the fact that there was 4,000 miles between us. And gradually over time, it just became apparent that it was more of a friendship.' While Madison lives in Minneapolis, the Love Is Blind: UK alum is based in is much closer to where Lucy lives in London. But that's not why fans think they're dating. No, the reason has to do with a pair of Instagram posts. Earlier this week, Freddie shared a pic of himself in L.A. with the caption, 'No place I'd rather be.' A day later, Lucy posted a few snapshots with an identical based on her outfit, fans are convinced that she's the one casting a shadow in Freddie's picture. Seeing as they're both from the UK, it's unlikely that they just happened to bump into each other in L.A.—but that doesn't necessarily mean they're dating, of course. In fact, Lucy seemed to directly address the rumors during a recent interview, where she referred to herself and Freddie as 'friends' and nothing more. 'I hang out with Freddie now and we are just friends,' she said. 'He's like a brother figure…I don't feel any sexual spark with Freddie.' Fans will have to wait and see whether anything comes out of this ~friendship.~

Even the filmmakers got swapped. Mark Waters, who directed the 2003 film 'Freaky Friday' starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, has revealed that he was never even approached to return for this year's sequel. 10 Mark Waters attends the Netflix premiere of 'He's All That' at the NeueHouse in Hollywood, California, on August 25, 2021.

'I did raise my hand and say I'd love to be involved somehow, even in a kind of godfather aspect or executive producer.' 'But I was not extended an invitation,' he added.

Advertisement 'I'm very supportive of them making a great new movie,' he told the outlet. 'It would have been nice to be involved, but now that I'm not, I sort of compartmentalize it for myself.' 'I need to devote my energy to keep making new, original things that are going to be hits, and people can remake them in 20 years,' Waters continued. 'So that's what I'm doing now. You can't worry about the projects that you don't do.' 10 Jamie Lee Curtis as Tess Coleman and Lindsay Lohan as Anna Coleman in 2003's 'Freaky Friday.' ©Buena Vista Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 10 Jamie Lee Curtis as Tess Coleman and Lindsay Lohan as Anna Coleman in 'Freakier Friday.' ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement The 'Mr. Popper's Penguins' director also revealed that some members of the cast wondered where he was when the sequel began filming. 'It certainly would have been fun, and I heard from quite a few cast members while they were shooting, saying, 'Where the hell are you, Waters?'' he shared. 'I have not forsaken you! I'm sorry.' Picking up 22 years after Anna Coleman (Lohan) and her mother Tess (Curtis) magically swapped bodies in 'Freaky Friday,' 'Freakier Friday' follows Anna and Tess after they swap bodies once again – but this time with Anna's daughter Harper (Julia Butters) and soon-to-be stepdaughter Lily (Sophia Hammons). 10 Jamie Lee Curtis as Tess Coleman and Lindsay Lohan as Anna Coleman in 'Freaky Friday' (2003). ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection 10 Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reprising their roles as Tess and Anna Coleman in 'Freakier Friday' (2025). ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection The cast is rounded out by several returning characters, including Anna's ex-boyfriend Jake (Chad Michael Murray), teacher Mr. Elton (Stephen Tobolowsky) and Anna's little brother Harry (Ryan Malgarini). After the body-swapping sequel's release on Aug. 8, it received mixed reviews – including a particularly 'harsh' write-up from Time magazine. 'No one, as far as we know, actually asked Disney for a sequel to 2003's buoyant, surprisingly unsyrupy generation-gap comedy 'Freaky Friday,'' the outlet wrote.

'SOME people LOVE it. Me being one.'
