Disney's Lilo & Stitch Live-Action Remake Gets An Official Teaser

Disney has released the official teaser trailer for the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch. The film will be released on May 23, 2025.

Studios are continuing their previews of the 2025 slate, and after releasing a poster for all to see, Disney has released a teaser trailer for the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch. Everyone was apprehensive about Stitch's transition from animation to live-action, and while we got pictures, we can now see how he moves. It still looks like a close match to the movie version of the character, which makes sense. This is very much a "don't fix what isn't broken" thing, and Stitch is one of those characters with his dedicated fanbase. There is a reason Disney dedicated an entire year of pin releases to this character.

The film is coming out on May 23, 2025, Memorial Day weekend, which is always a notoriously weird weekend for movies. Films either do really well or completely flop, and quality has no bearing on those numbers. Furiosa absolutely bombed opening the long weekend, and that movie kicks all sorts of ass. Disney is also sliding Lilo & Stitch between two other big releases, Thunderbolts* on May 2, 2025, and Elio on June 13, 2025. The film also faces extremely stiff competition on its release date, with Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning opening on the same day and Karate Kid: Legends opening on May 30, 2025. There isn't much room for breathing for Lilo & Stitch, and it's really unclear whether or not fans and audiences are still even into the idea of the live-action remake anymore. May Snow White and its release in March will give us a better idea of how Lilo & Stitch might be received.
