Tara Erickson, Aaron Alexander, & John Humphrey react to Disney’s 2025 live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch, a reimagining of the beloved 2002 animated classic. Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On), this new adaptation blends heartfelt family drama with sci-fi adventure and updated visual effects to bring Experiment 626 to life like never before. Newcomer Maia Kealoha stars as Lilo Pelekai, a spirited Hawaiian girl coping with the loss of her parents while trying to fit in at school. Sydney Agudong (On My Block, West Michigan) plays her older sister Nani, fighting to keep their family together. Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover, Baskets) takes on the role of the bumbling alien scientist Dr. Jumba Jookiba, while Billy Magnussen (No Time to Die, Into the Woods) portrays the uptight Earth agent Pleakley. Chris Sanders, the original voice of Stitch and co-director of the animated film, returns to voice the mischievous blue alien once again. The film features iconic scenes reimagined in live-action—including Stitch crash-landing in Hawaii, Lilo adopting him from the animal shelter, the chaotic surfing sequence, and the emotional climax centered on the unforgettable line, “ʻOhana means family.” With a blend of action, heart, and humor, Lilo & Stitch (2025) updates a modern Disney favorite for a new generation while honoring its original legacy.
