Author : Peyton Update : Mar 17,2025

The live-action remake of Disney's beloved animated classic, Lilo & Stitch, has just unveiled its official trailer, offering a captivating glimpse into Maia Kealoha's portrayal of Lilo, Courtney B. Vance as Cobra Bubbles, and Billy Magnussen as Pleakley.

While previous teasers showcased Stitch, this trailer centers on Kealoha's Lilo, providing a compelling comparison to Daveigh Chase's iconic performance in the 2002 original. We see Kealoha embody the spirit and charm of the character, promising a fresh yet faithful interpretation.

The trailer also features Zach Galifianakis as Jumba and Billy Magnussen as Pleakley, showcasing Cobra Bubbles' serious yet endearing nature. Interestingly, Jumba and Pleakley appear initially disguised as their human actors, a unique twist on their usual alien appearances. However, a brief glimpse of Pleakley's true alien form is also included.

The trailer faithfully recreates iconic scenes from the original film, including Stitch's dramatic arrival resembling a falling star, Stitch's canine disguise at the animal shelter, and the heartwarming "Ohana means family" moment. These nostalgic touches promise to resonate with fans of the original.

Lilo & Stitch is set for theatrical release on May 23, 2025, joining the ranks of Disney's live-action remakes of beloved animated classics. Its release follows closely after the live-action Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs, premiering March 21st.
