Lilo & Stitch First Teaser Gives Us Our Best Look Yet at CGI Stitch in Action

The live-action Lilo & Stitch has received its first teaser trailer and it gives us our best look yet at Stitch, who is doing the very Stitch-like move of destroying a sand castle and cackling with glee.

While the teaser isn’t very long, it shows the Stitch we know and love is just as wonderfully chaotic as he was in the 2002 original, and the cherry on top of all of this is it’s all set to a rendition of Mark Keali’i Ho’omalu and Alan Silvestri’s He Mele No Lilo from first film as well.

This live action version of Lilo & Stitch is set to be released in theaters on May 23, 2025, and Disney has also helped with the wait by providing a new poster of Experiment 626 himself.

Chris Sanders will once again be voicing Stitch, and newcomer Maia Kealoha will be taking on the role of Lilo. Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the original.

Joining Sanders and Kealoha will be Sydney Elizebeth Agudong, Billy Magnussen, Tia Carrere, Hannah Waddingham, Chris Sanders, with Courtney B. Vance, and Zach Galifianakis. Oscar-nominated director Dean Fleischer Camp will be directing the film.

News of this Lilo & Stitch remake have been circulating since 2018, and it will now arrive in a year we will also see the live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It also will be released only a few months after Mufasa.
