The much-anticipated official trailer for the live-action remake of *Lilo & Stitch* has finally landed, offering fans an exciting glimpse into the world of this beloved Disney classic. The trailer showcases Maia Kealoha stepping into the iconic role of Lilo, originally brought to life by Daveigh Chase in the 2002 animated film. Kealoha's performance promises to bring a fresh yet faithful interpretation to this cherished character.
While previous teasers have focused heavily on Stitch, this trailer puts Lilo in the spotlight, allowing viewers to see how she will embody the spirit of the original. Alongside Kealoha, we get a closer look at Courtney B. Vance as the stern yet caring Cobra Bubbles, and Billy Magnussen as the quirky Pleakley. An intriguing twist in the trailer reveals Jumba and Pleakley, portrayed by Zach Galifianakis and Magnussen respectively, initially disguised as humans before reverting to their alien forms, with Pleakley briefly seen in his extraterrestrial glory.
The trailer does an excellent job of recreating iconic scenes from the original movie, including Stitch's dramatic entrance as a falling star, his attempt to pass as a dog at the shelter, and the heartfelt moment when Lilo explains the meaning of "Ohana," stating, "Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten."
Set to hit theaters on May 23, 2025, this live-action adaptation of *Lilo & Stitch* follows closely on the heels of another Disney classic remake, *Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs*, scheduled for release on March 21. Fans of Disney and Pixar can look forward to an exciting lineup of upcoming films, ensuring that the magic continues.
