Lilo & Stitch Live Action Release Date

The production journey of Lilo & Stitch Live Action has undergone several changes since it was first announced. Originally, the film was slated to go straight to Disney+ in 2024, but it was later given a bigger slot in the 2025 summer schedule.

Now, Disney has confirmed that the film will premiere in theaters on May 23, 2025. Following its theatrical release, the film is expected to be available on Disney+ some time later, following the same distribution pattern as Disney's other live-action films.

Lilo & Stitch Live Action Synopsis

This film will continue to follow the storyline of the animated version. Lilo Pelekai is a young girl living in Hawaii with her older sister, Nani, feeling lonely after losing both her parents. One day, to cure Lilo's loneliness, Nani takes her to an animal shelter to adopt a dog. However, without them knowing, the "dog" they adopted was actually Stitch, an experimental extraterrestrial creature called Experiment 626 who was created to cause destruction.

Initially, Stitch just wanted to escape from the pursuit of Government Agents and alien hunters, but over time he began to learn about the concept of family (family), friendship, and discovering a deeper meaning in life with Lilo. Even though there are some minor changes in the plot, the core story and moral messages about family and friendship are maintained in Lilo & Stitch Live Action.

Lilo & Stitch Live-Action Cast List

Disney has announced the list of main actors in this film, although there were several controversies and actor changes in the middle of the production process. The following is a list of the Lilo & Stitch Live Action cast:

• Maia Kealoha: Lilo Pelekai
• Sydney Short: Nani Pelekai
• Kaipo Dudoit: David Kawana
• Chris Sanders: Stitch (VA)
• Zach Galifianakis: Dr. Jumba Jookiba
• Billy Magnussen: Agent Pleakley
• Tia Carrere: Nyonya Kekoa
• Courtney B. Vance: Cobra Bubbles
• Hannah Waddingham: Grand Councilwoman
• Amy Hill: Cold
• Jason Scott Lee: Luau Manager

Chris Sanders, who was the original voice of Stitch in the 2002 animated film, returns to voice the character in Lilo & Stitch Live Action. Meanwhile, Maia Kealoha was chosen to play Lilo, and Sydney Agudong as Nani, although Agudong's choice attracted criticism because it was considered not representative of the original character.

Film Showtimes and Distribution

Disney began releasing the first teasers for Lilo & Stitch Live Action in November 2024. In the teasers, beautiful views of Hawaii transition to white sand beaches, where Disney's signature castle logo emerges from the sand. However, the calm atmosphere soon changes when Stitch appears and destroys the sandcastle, providing a touch of his trademark humor.

Then, in March 2025, Disney released a full two-minute trailer showing how Stitch escapes from intergalactic captivity and lands on Earth. Scenes in the trailer also show how Lilo and Stitch begin to form a friendship, while Jumba Jookiba and Pleakley come to Earth to capture Stitch. Apart from that, federal agent Cobra Bubbles is also seen monitoring the development of these extraterrestrial creatures.

Lilo & Stitch Live Action will premiere in theaters on May 23, 2025, and after some time, the film is expected to be available on Disney+, like other Disney live-action remakes. Lilo & Stitch Live Action is one of the most anticipated films by Disney fans. By carrying out a storyline that remains faithful to the 2002 animated version, it is hoped that this film can revive the magic and moral messages about family and friendship.

With a confirmed release date of May 23, 2025, and a talented cast ready to play the iconic characters from this film, Disney fans can get ready to watch the touching story of Lilo and Stitch again in the Live Action version.
