This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. There's no place we'd rather be than on a surfboard out at sea, lingering in the ocean blue and if we had one wish come true, we'd wish for Lilo and Stitch to be with us as soon as possible. The good news? Our wish DID come true. Disney has just announced that the live action adaptation of the beloved animated classic is set to arrive on May 23, 2025.
Maia Kealoha will lead the film as Lilo, while Sydney Elizebeth Agudong will join the young actress as Lilo's older sister, Nani. The rest of the cast includes Kaipo Duidot as David Kawena, Courtney B. Vance as Cobra Bubbles, and Billy Magnussen as Pleakley, Zach Galifianakis as Jumba, and Amy Hill will star as a new character named Tūtū. Chris Sanders, who both wrote the original film and voiced the character of Stitch, is set to return as the voice of Experiment 626.
"I like that the story and the characters have endured. It was my wish that the story and characters would have staying power, and I'm really glad that they have. I've never stopped doing the voice. I do it for all the different stage shows and parades and everything, and it's nice to, several times a year, be able to revisit that character."
