More about Lilo & Stitch
The story follows Lilo, a lonely Hawaiian girl, and Nani as they adopt Stitch, a mischievous alien on the run. Central to the narrative is the theme of ohana, the Hawaiian word for family, underscoring the importance of love and connection, both with family and unexpected companions.
Critics have praised the remake for its emotional depth and humour. The movie's opening weekend saw an impressive $146 million in earnings, outperforming big-budget films such as Mission Impossible—The Final Reckoning.
In response to the film's success, Disney confirmed that a sequel is already in development. Chris Sanders will return as screenwriter, though details regarding the rest of the cast and crew remain under wraps. The film also continues to resonate with audiences thanks to its cultural relevance, especially the shared love of Elvis Presley between Lilo and Nani, which forms a unique bond between the characters.
