Lilo & Stitch (2025)
Lilo & Stitch, the second biggest film of 2025, has officially arrived on digital platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV+ before debuting on Disney+ sometime in the future. Keep reading to learn how to watch the blockbuster live-action remake for your next movie night below.
Lilo & Stitch (2025) is a live-action remake of the beloved 2002 animated original, which inspired several spinoffs, including the popular TV show Lilo & Stitch: The Series. The film tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a lonely Hawaiian girl named Lilo and a dog-like alien named Stitch, whom she hopes will help heal her broken family.
What Lilo doesn’t know is that Stitch was genetically engineered for destruction — and now he’s being hunted down by the aliens who created him. “Stitch, an extraterrestrial entity, comes to planet Earth after he escapes his prison, where he tries to impersonate a dog. Things take a turn when Lilo adopts him from an animal shelter,” the synopsis reads.
The film marks 8-year-old Maia Kealoha’s breakout role. “I relate to her because we’re both from Hawaii and we’re a little bit sassy,” the Lilo actress told Deadline. “We also like fun clothes, and we love surfing. I go surfing in my free time. We also love to dance hula because hula tells a story just like you can tell a story about any different kind of movie.”
Sydney Elizabeth Agudong, who plays Nani, added: “I’m an absolute OG fan of the film. I was looking at this new one like a clean slate. So, I really took to a lot of her identity as the older sister. It was something I held on to the entire time.”
Lilo & Stitch had an outstanding run at the box office, starting with a record-breaking $183 million debut in its first weekend — the highest-grossing four-day Memorial Day weekend opening in U.S. history. Then, just days ago, Lilo & Stitch became the first Hollywood release of the year to hit $1 billion at the worldwide box office.
The movie is currently the second-biggest of the year in the U.S. in both worldwide and domestic gross, according to Box Office Mojo. Its success has been fueled by families and Gen Zers who grew up watching the franchise.

When Will Lilo & Stitch (2025) Be Streaming On Disney+?
Lilo & Stitch (2025)
Lilo & Stitch is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, so the live-action film will be released on Disney+ in the near future. It will likely arrive around three to four months after its theatrical premiere, which is sometime in late August or early to mid-September 2025.
This timeline is based on the release patterns of other recently successful Disney films. For example, Moana premiered in theaters in November 2024 and landed on Disney+ in March 2025, just over three months later. 2024’s Mufasa: The Lion King had a slightly shorter theatrical window of 96 days, but still debuted on Disney+ more than three months after its release.
Will There Be A Lilo & Stitch 2?
Lilo & Stitch (2025)
If you want more of Stitch, Lilo and Nani, you’ll be pleased to know that Lilo & Stitch 2 is officially happening. Disney announced in late June that the sequel is currently in development following the massive commercial and critical success of the 2025 film.
The announcement was revealed in a fun video shared on Disney’s Instagram account. The clip shows Experiment 626 cruising around the Disney lot in the iconic pink children’s car from the film. “should’ve known he couldn’t keep a secret. a 626 day surprise: #LiloAndStitch 2 is now in development!” the caption read.
The Hollywood Reporter reported on July 23 that Chris Sanders, who co-created, co-wrote, and co-directed the 2002 animated Lilo & Stitch, is in final negotiations to return as the writer for the sequel. Sanders previously voiced the little blue alien in the original film and reprised the role in the live-action version.
It’s too early to know exactly where Lilo & Stitch 2 will go. The original movie was followed by two direct-to-video sequels, Stitch! The Movie and Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch, as well as Lilo & Stitch: The Series. According to THR, the new sequel will tell “a brand-new story.”
