- Disney has released the first trailer for live-action Lilo & Stitch
- It’s our first look at the whole role crew, including Maia Kealoha like Lilo
- The film will make its theater debut on May 23, 2025.
We can finally say, ‘Aloha!’ For our first real look at live-action Lilo & Stitchthanks to the official trailer. And let’s just say as someone who loves Stitch – including the original, ‘Stitch has a mistake’ and the TV series – Lilo & Stitch: The Series – It’s a Journey.
It’s pretty packed that shows all kinds of emotions that we’ve come to expect from the protagonist, yet it flies over two minutes and 24-second trailers. It also gives a first look at most of the role crew, including Maia Kealoha as Lilo, Sydney Agudong as Nani, Billy Magnussen as Pleakley and Zach Galifianakis as Jumba. Of course, we also hear lots of Chris Sanders representing his role as Stitch.
The trailer starts with fear of Stitch – alias a ‘dangerous experiment’ – but it quickly falls off the rails with a glimpse of the iconic stranger in a red star voucher. Then we flash to Hawaii and see Lilo see a shooting star and wants a ‘best friend’. Fast enough after that we hear ‘fluffy’, see Nani, the sounds of Elvis come through, and chaos Mistakes that follow fun.
You can see it yourself below, and that is our look at the movie and the whole role crew ahead of the release on May 23, 2025.

Lilo & Stitch is the latest live-action recording of an iconic Disney movie. Snow whiteAnother live-action re-recording is ready to release on March 21, 2025. It has been a trend for Disney, which also did a live-action Beauty and BeasT – and you can now build the iconic castle from that franchise out of LEGO – and The lion king.
With Lilo & StitchHowever, hype is here and this may end up being the best live-action recording from Disney yet. Especially with the original voice from Stitch – Chris Sanders – Reprises his role and performs a nice job, at least from the trailer so far.
The trailer also gives a first – if only super fast – on comfortable and Billy Magnussen, as well as Zach Galifianakis, but no sign of an animated jumba yet. We also see Cobra Bubbles, played by Courtney B. Vance, and in the name of Fan Service – which this trailer does a lot of – so we ice cream/a snow cone fall on the ground.
All in all, the official trailer has leveled my enthusiasm for Lilo & Stitch, and if you were not sold yet, I think this will do it. In the meantime, I will go to one of the best streaming services – Disney+ – to see the original, the successor and some other stitch content again.
And if you want to pass on the time in the lead to the movie, we’ve seen a trove of new Lilo & Stitch Toys and Collectibles. Here are a few of our favorites.
