by Samuel May 20,2025

The much-anticipated official trailer for the live-action remake of *Lilo & Stitch* has finally dropped, offering fans an exciting glimpse at the beloved characters reimagined. Leading the cast, Maia Kealoha steps into the iconic role of Lilo, previously brought to life by Daveigh Chase in the 2002 animated classic. Kealoha's portrayal promises to capture the heart and spirit of the original character, putting her firmly in the spotlight.

The trailer also showcases Courtney B. Vance's portrayal of the enigmatic Cobra Bubbles, bringing the serious yet lovable character to life alongside Zach Galifianakis' Jumba and Billy Magnussen's Pleakley. An intriguing twist reveals Jumba and Pleakley disguised as humans on Earth, though we catch a brief glimpse of Pleakley in his classic alien form.

Iconic scenes from the original film are reimagined in live-action, including Stitch's dramatic entrance as a falling star, his transformation into a more dog-like appearance at the shelter, and the poignant moment when Lilo shares the meaning of "Ohana" — "Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten."

Set to hit theaters on May 23, 2025, *Lilo & Stitch* continues Disney's trend of bringing animated classics to life in new, exciting ways. This release follows closely on the heels of another beloved adaptation, the live-action *Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs*, scheduled for March 21, 2025.
