The much-anticipated official trailer for the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch has finally dropped, offering fans an exciting glimpse into the world of this beloved Disney classic. The trailer showcases Maia Kealoha stepping into the iconic role of Lilo, originally brought to life by Daveigh Chase in the 2002 animated film. Kealoha's portrayal promises to bring a fresh yet familiar charm to the character, capturing the essence of Lilo's unique personality and spirit.
In addition to Kealoha's Lilo, the trailer also introduces us to Courtney B. Vance as the serious yet lovable Cobra Bubbles, and Billy Magnussen as the quirky Pleakley. While Stitch has been a prominent figure in previous teasers, this trailer shifts the focus to Lilo and her interactions with the other characters. Notably, the trailer reveals an intriguing twist where Jumba, played by Zach Galifianakis, and Pleakley appear in human disguises on Earth, although Pleakley's alien form makes a brief appearance, adding a touch of the original's whimsical nature.
The trailer doesn't just introduce the new cast; it also brings to life some of the most iconic scenes from the original film. We see Stitch's dramatic entrance, resembling a falling star, his transformation to look more like a dog at the shelter, and the heartwarming moment when Lilo explains, "Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten." These scenes are reimagined with stunning live-action visuals that stay true to the heart of the story.
Lilo & Stitch is set to hit theaters on May 23, 2025, marking another exciting entry in Disney's series of live-action remakes of its cherished animated classics. This release comes just a few months after the premiere of the live-action Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs on March 21, 2025, promising a year filled with magical cinematic experiences.
