The live-action Lilo & Stitch movie has an official release date.
In 2018, it was announced that Walt Disney Pictures was developing a live-action/computer-animated version of 2002’s Lilo & Stitch. The movie is being directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, who previously made 2016’s Fraud and 2021’s Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.
When is the live-action Lilo & Stitch’s release date?
Walt Disney Pictures has announced that the live-action Lilo & Stitch movie will be released in United States theaters on May 23, 2025. It currently shares a release date with the eighth, still untitled film in the Mission: Impossible franchise.
The official Walt Disney Studios X account shared a short video announcing the release date, which can be viewed below (watch more trailers and clips):
Maia Kealoha stars as Lilo in the film, while Sydney Agudong plays Nani, Kaipo Dudoit plays David, Tia Carrere plays Mrs. Kekoa, Courtney B. Vance plays Cobra Bubbles, Amy Hill plays Tūtū, and Jason Scott Lee is playing a luau manager.
The voice cast, meanwhile, includes Chris Sanders as Stitch, Zach Galifianakis as Dr. Jumba, and Billy Magnussen as Agent Pleakley.
“The Hawaii-centric story tells of the bond formed between a lonely human girl named Lilo and a dog-like alien named Stitch, who was genetically engineered to be a force of destruction,” a description of the plot reads, via The Hollywood Reporter. “With nosy social workers and pursuing aliens banging on the door, the two bond over a shared sense of family and win the day.”
The script was written by Chris Kekaniokalani Bright, while Sanders and Dean DeBlois wrote and directed the screenplay for the original 2002 movie. Sanders voiced the character in the original movie and numerous other projects, including Lilo & Stitch: The Series, 2005’s Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch, and 2006’s Leroy & Stitch.
