Blend of familiar and new cast
The live-action/animation feature, directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, incorporates elements from the original Lilo & Stitch film as well as its animated sequels and TV spin-offs. Casting Maia Kealoha as Lilo Pelekai, the 2025 Lilo & Stitch features returning original cast members Amy Hill, Tia Carrere, and Jason Scott Lee joined by Sydney Elizabeth Agudong, Billy Magnussen, Hannah Waddingham, Courtney B. Vance, and Zach Galifianakis in significant parts. Chris Sanders, who co-wrote and co-directed the film in 2002, is back for a second stint as Stitch's voice actor.
Story of family, loss, and belonging
Experiment 626, a genetically modified extraterrestrial who manages to elude his captors and crash-lands on Earth, is the protagonist of the tale. Lilo, a solitary Hawaiian girl grieving the death of her parents, rechristens 626 as Stitch after mistaking it for a dog. As Stitch undergoes a metamorphosis through his link with Lilo, who is trying to instil in him the value of 'ohana', or family, aliens from another dimension try to kidnap him. Issues of family, belonging, and loss are all touched on in the film.
With a worldwide total of $1.025 billion, it surpassed all previous live-action/animated hybrid films and was the second highest-grossing film of 2025, despite receiving mostly favourable reviews from critics.
Sequel in development
Disney has decided to go ahead with a sequel because of the success of the first film, and Chris Sanders is back on board as writer. It is believed that the original animation classic's fan base and a new generation of viewers would increase its popularity in India thanks to the OTT distribution on JioHotstar.
