Disney has dropped a brand-new teaser for the upcoming live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch, and it’s already causing a stir online. The sneak peek gives fans a glimpse of the adorable yet wildly unpredictable Stitch as he adjusts to life in his new Hawaiian home.
The short video opens with Lilo welcoming Stitch into her world after adopting him from an animal shelter. But it doesn’t take long for the alien troublemaker to stir up chaos in the house — much to the dismay of Lilo’s sister, Nani, who quickly tries to set boundaries for their unexpected guest.
One moment in the teaser that melted hearts everywhere is when Lilo recites the beloved phrase from the original film:
“Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.”
Disney simply captioned the teaser with the word “oof”, perfectly summing up Stitch’s playful and unpredictable personality.

Shortly after the teaser was posted, fans took to social media to express their excitement. One user commented,
“Stitch is my favorite chaos,”
while another said,
“This could be Disney’s best live-action remake yet.”
The nostalgic callback and the authentic energy of the original story have made this teaser an instant fan favorite, setting high expectations for the full film.
