Disney fans are getting their first real glimpse at the upcoming ‘Lilo & Stitch’ live-action remake, set to hit screens on May 23, 2025. A newly released image gives audiences a sneak peek into the long-awaited reimagining of the beloved 2002 animated classic.
The fresh look at the film showcases updated visuals and character designs, sparking excitement—and plenty of discussion—across social media platforms. The live-action adaptation promises to stay true to the heart of the original story, which follows a young Hawaiian girl named Lilo and her unlikely friendship with Stitch, a mischievous alien experiment gone rogue.
Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On), the remake blends heartfelt storytelling with a modern visual approach. The film is expected to explore the powerful themes of family, belonging, and unconditional love—elements that made the original a Disney favorite.
The May 23 release date positions Lilo & Stitch as a major contender for summer box office success, especially as Disney continues its trend of reimagining animated classics into live-action spectacles. Previous hits like The Lion King, Aladdin, and The Little Mermaid set the stage, and fans are hoping Lilo & Stitch lives up to its legacy.
More details about the full cast and official trailer are expected in the coming weeks.
