And after children and their parents have had a chance to talk to Stitch inside Stitch Encounter, they can take home a “robot-inspired” version of Experiment 626. The remote control Stitch “dog” is agleam with mirrorlike colors and walks, shake its head and blinks eyes on command. For kids, it’s the perfect pal that never runs out of steam.
