‘Lilo & Stitch’
Get ready for a heartfelt, high-flying adventure that blends cosmic chaos with the spirit of aloha! Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch” returns in a dazzling new live-action/animated remake of the beloved 2002 classic starring newcomer Maia Kealoha as Lilo and featuring the original voice of Stitch, Chris Sanders.
Set on the lush island of Kaua‘i, this reimagined tale follows Lilo, a spirited young girl struggling to find connection after the loss of her parents, and Experiment 626, a genetically engineered alien fugitive who crash-lands on Earth. Disguised as a dog and renamed “Stitch,” the creature finds himself adopted into Lilo’s chaotic, loving life.
What begins as a plan for self-preservation turns into an unforgettable journey of friendship, redemption, and the true meaning of ‘ohana — family.
With stunning visual effects by Industrial Light & Magic and direction from Dean Fleischer Camp (“Marcel the Shell with Shoes On”), “Lilo & Stitch” captures the charm and humor of the original while expanding its universe for a new generation.
Featuring a star-studded cast, including Zach Galifianakis, Billy Magnussen, and Hannah Waddingham, this vibrant update celebrates Hawaiian culture, emotional resilience, and the weird and wonderful bonds that hold us together.
