Guide for Viewing Lilo & Stitch
The much-anticipated live-action remake of the beloved animated film Lilo & Stitch finally hit the big screen on May 23, 2025, much to the delight of fans worldwide. Contrary to some speculations, the film did not make its debut in 2023.
The project, which began development in 2018, saw filming commence in early 2023, but a public release did not occur that year. Instead, the filmmakers decided to shift it from a direct-to-Disney+ release to a theatrical one in 2025.
After its successful theatrical run, the movie was made available for digital download on July 22, 2025, and was scheduled for streaming release on Disney+ on September 3, 2025. The film was also released on home media (Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, DVD) on August 26, 2025.
The live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch has received a "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes from critics.

The star-studded cast includes Maia Kealoha, Sydney Elizebeth Agudong, Billy Magnussen, Tia Carrere, Hannah Waddingham, Courtney B. Vance, and Zach Galifianakis.
Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp from a script by Chris Kekaniokalani Bright and Mike Van Waes, the film tells the wildly funny and touching story of a lonely Hawaiian girl and the fugitive alien who helps to mend her broken family.
