Disney’s Lilo & Stitch is about to make its big comeback, this time as a live-action film, and fans are excited for the fresh take on the beloved classic. Set to be released on May 23, 2025, the film will bring the heartwarming story of Lilo and her mischievous alien friend Stitch to life with stunning visuals and modern twists.
The original 2002 animated movie followed Lilo, a young girl living in Hawaii, who adopts Stitch, an alien experiment. Together, they form a unique bond, teaching each other about love and family. The live-action version will stay true to this theme while enhancing the CGI, especially for Stitch, who will no doubt steal the spotlight.
The cast includes Maia Kealoha as Lilo and Chris Sanders, the original voice of Stitch, returning to voice the character. Zach Galifianakis takes on the role of Dr. Jumbaa, bringing his comedic flair to the alien scientist.
At its core, Lilo & Stitch is about ‘ohana’ -family- and the new film promises to capture the same heartfelt message of love, acceptance, and belonging that made the original so special. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the story, this live-action adaptation is sure to resonate with audiences of all ages.
Mark your calendars for the release on May 23, 2025, and get ready for an unforgettable adventure with Stitch and Lilo!
