Disney’s Live-Action ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Is Coming to Theaters in 2025
Yesterday’s Disney Entertainment panel at D23: The Ultimate Fan Event was a dream come true for Disney fans.
During the event, Disney gave attendees a preview of its upcoming slate of films, including Zootopia 2, Frozen III, Snow White, and Freakier Friday.
Disney’s announcement that its live-action Lilo & Stitch remake will be coming to theaters in 2025, however, received perhaps the biggest pop of the night.

‘Lilo & Stitch’
The audience went wild when Disney shared a first look at Stitch in live-action.
‘Lilo & Stitch’ Is Now Coming to Theaters
A remake of the classic 2002 animated film, Lilo & Stitch tells the story of “the bond formed between a lonely human girl named Lilo and a dog-like alien named Stitch, who is engineered to be a force of destruction. Pursuing aliens, social workers, and the idea of the bond of family figure into the proceedings.”

Originally, the live-action Lilo & Stitch was expected to premiere on Disney+. Yesterday, however, Disney announced that the film would be released in theaters in 2025.
Lilo & Stitch will star Maia Kealoha, Zach Galifianakis, Sydney Agudong, and Billy Magnussen. Chris Sanders will once again voice the mischievous alien, reprising his role from the animated film.
The Film Will Premiere Next Year
While Disney did not give an exact release date for Lilo & Stitch, the studio’s release calendar has an open slot on May 23, 2025.
It looks like fans will be able to reunite with Stitch and his ohana then.
