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 classic. The trailer showcases Maia Kealoha's portrayal of Lilo, bringing a fresh take on the character originally voiced by Daveigh Chase in the 2002 animated film. Kealoha steps into the spotlight, giving audiences a clear idea of how she will embody the spirited young girl from Hawaii.
Alongside Kealoha, the trailer introduces us to Courtney B. Vance as the serious yet lovable Cobra Bubbles, and Billy Magnussen as Pleakley. A surprising twist in the trailer reveals Jumba, played by Zach Galifianakis, and Pleakley in human disguises for part of the film, blending seamlessly into their earthly surroundings. However, fans will be pleased to catch a brief glimpse of Pleakley in his traditional alien form.
The trailer recreates several iconic scenes from the original movie, including Stitch's dramatic entrance resembling a falling star, his transformation at the animal shelter to resemble a dog, and the heartfelt moment where Lilo shares the meaning of "Ohana," stating, "Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten." These scenes are meticulously brought to life in live-action, promising a faithful yet fresh adaptation of the classic tale.
Mark your calendars for May 23, 2025, when *Lilo & Stitch* will hit theaters. This release comes shortly after the premiere of another Disney live-action remake, *Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs*, set for March 21, 2025. Both films are part of Disney's ongoing efforts to reimagine their iconic animated stories for new audiences.
