‘Lilo & Stitch’ (2025)

This live-action re-imagining follows Hawaiian sisters Lilo and Nani as they take in “Experiment 626,” the escaped alien later called Stitch, while balancing social-services scrutiny and an off-world pursuit to recapture him. Maia Kealoha plays Lilo and Sydney Agudong plays Nani, with roles for Zach Galifianakis and Billy Magnussen; Chris Sanders returns as the voice of Stitch.

Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp for Walt Disney Pictures, the feature adapts the animated original’s story beats for contemporary live action. Producers Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich oversee the production, with screenplay work developed from the original story by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois.

This feature documentary follows a field team of conservation biologists and local guides on an expedition into remote rainforest terrain to document species, map habitats, and assess environmental pressures.
