Lilo & Stitch is a 2025 American science fiction comedy film directed by Dean Fleischer Camp and written by Chris Kekaniokalani Bright and Mike Van Waes. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Rideback, the film is a live-action animated remake of Disney's 2002 traditionally animated film Lilo & Stitch, with some elements also based on that film's animated sequel films and TV shows. It stars Maia Kealoha in her film debut as Lilo Pelekai, with original Lilo & Stitch writer-director Chris Sanders reprising his voice role as Stitch. Kealoha was officially cast for the movie in 2023 by Disney. It also stars Sydney Elizebeth Agudong, Billy Magnussen, Hannah Waddingham, Courtney B. Vance, and Zach Galifianakis, with original cast members Tia Carrere, Amy Hill, and Jason Scott Lee appearing in different supporting roles.
Lilo & Stitch premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on May 17, 2025 and was released in the United States by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on May 23, 2025. The film has received mixed reviews from critics and has grossed $341.7 million, becoming the sixth highest-grossing film of 2025. The story of Lilo & Stich is about a lonely girl that longs for a friend. Stitch is an alien that gets exiled on our planet. That is all you really need to know.
This is Disney's second live action movie of 2025, after Snow White. It was so nice to watch a Disney movie with no politics or internal issues. Lilo, played by Maia Kealoha is excellent. I worry about her going down the pathway of countless other child stars, but I would go see her in another movie. I didn't know Zach Galifianakis was going to be in the movie either, but his comedic relief was excellent. Lilo & Stitch is a fun movie that harks back to a time when Disney made fun and non political films. Hopefully, with this movie Disney will be returning to better film making...
MY RATING: 9 out of 10
