Disney unveiled a motion poster at D23 that featured the first glimpse of the live-action Lilo & Stitch film. In 2025, the movie will be presented in theaters throughout the summer.
Synopsis for the original film: As Stitch, a genetic experiment gone awry from a distant planet, wreaks havoc on the Hawaiian Islands, he becomes the mischievous adopted alien “puppy” of a self-reliant little girl named Lilo and learns about friendship, loyalty, and Żohana, the Hawaiian tradition of family.
