How will Disneyโs live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch capture the heartwarming chaos of an alien experiment bonding with a young Hawaiian girl?
Disneyโs beloved animated classic Lilo & Stitch (2002) is getting a live-action remake, set to premiere on May 23, 2025. The film will follow the same heartfelt story of Lilo, a spirited Hawaiian girl who adopts what she believes to be a dog, only to discover itโs a chaotic alien experiment named Stitch. Together, they navigate themes of family, love, and acceptance, while Stitch tries to evade capture from the Galactic Federation.
The cast includes Maia Kealoha as Lilo, marking her debut in a major role. Chris Sanders, who originally voiced Stitch in the animated film, returns to bring life to the mischievous alien. Sydney Agudong portrays Nani, Lilo’s caring older sister and guardian, while Zach Galifianakis takes on the role of Dr. Jumba Jookiba, the scientist who created Stitch. Additional cast members include Billy Magnussen as Pleakley, the quirky alien tasked with recapturing Stitch, and Amy Hill as a new character named Tลซtลซ.
The film is part of Disneyโs strategy to reimagine its animated classics. Directed by Dean Fleischer-Camp (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On), it aims to stay true to the spirit of the original while offering a fresh perspective. The blend of live-action and CGI promises to bring the tropical landscapes of Hawaii and the vibrant personality of Stitch to life.
The original Lilo & Stitch grossed over $273 million globally and remains a fan favorite. With the nostalgia factor and Disneyโs marketing prowess, the live-action version is poised for significant box office success. Fans are eagerly anticipating how this adaptation will preserve the cultural authenticity and emotional depth of the original.
