Originally announced in 2018, Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch was initially intended to be released on Disney+ in 2024. After deciding to give the film a theatrical release, however, Disney pushed back its premiere date to 2025.
What Fans Can Expect From ‘Lilo & Stitch’
True to the original animated film, the live-action Lilo & Stitch will tell 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 a family figure into the proceedings.”

“Again, it’s a story about connection and a kid trying to find a friend, and all you can do is approach a project like that with love. I am so grateful and honored to be a part of that project,” Magnussen told GamesRadar earlier this year.
