Get ready, Disney fans—our favorite mischievous alien is back! Disney just released the first trailer for its live-action reimagining of Lilo & Stitch, and it promises a fun, heartfelt ride. The beloved duo returns to the big screen on May 23, 2025.
Stitch Crashes Back Into Action
The trailer introduces Stitch in all his chaotic glory. He lands on Earth, causes mischief, and forms an unexpected bond with Lilo. Their story is about more than fun and aliens—it’s about ohana, the Hawaiian word for family.
While staying true to the spirit of the 2002 animated classic, the film brings fresh visuals, real-world settings, and updated character performances that fans of all ages will love.
What to Expect
Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On), this version blends heartfelt moments with wild antics. Lilo’s world is grounded in her love for Elvis, hula dancing, and caring for her older sister Nani—while Stitch, as always, brings the chaos.
The cast includes newcomers and familiar faces, all working together to reimagine a fan-favorite tale for a new generation. The tropical setting of Hawaii is as vibrant as ever, adding warmth and magic to every frame.

Stitch Arrives May 23, 2025
The wait won’t be long. Lilo & Stitch opens exclusively in theaters on May 23, 2025, just in time for summer. Whether you’re meeting Stitch for the first time or reliving childhood memories, this is one cinematic reunion you won’t want to miss.
