Get ready for an adventure full of laughs, love, and a little alien mischief! Disney’s brand-new live-action version of Lilo & Stitch is here, and it’s full of heart, Hawaiian vibes, and crazy fun.
This movie tells the story of Lilo, a quirky and imaginative girl who feels a bit lonely… until she finds a new best friend in Stitch, a super-cute (and totally chaotic!) alien from outer space. Together, they go on wild adventures, escape trouble, and learn what it truly means to be a family. Or as Lilo says, “Ohana means family – and family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.”
What We Loved:
Maia Kealoha as Lilo – She’s AMAZING! This is her first ever movie, and she totally nails it. Funny, sweet, and just like the cartoon Lilo we love.
Sydney Elizebeth Agudong as Nani – Lilo’s big sister Nani is super believable. She feels like a real older sister—kind, protective, and sometimes a bit stressed (like real life!).
Stitch! – Don’t worry—Stitch still looks super adorable and acts just as cheeky as ever. He’s voiced by the original actor, Chris Sanders, which is awesome!
Music & Scenery – The Hawaiian music and beach scenes are stunning. It’ll make you want to grab a surfboard and dance around the living room.
What’s Different?
If you’ve seen the old cartoon version, this one isn’t exactly the same. Some characters are missing, and the story is a bit more serious in parts. However, it still has its funny moments, and the overall feeling remains just like the original. You’ll laugh, maybe cry (just a little!), and want to hug your family afterwards.
There’s also more of Lilo and Nani’s story this time around, which helps us understand their bond even more.
Anything Weird?
Yep—Pleakley and Jumba (Stitch’s alien buddies) look like humans in this version, not big colourful aliens. Some people might find it a bit strange, but it’s still quite enjoyable.
Final Thoughts:
This version of Lilo & Stitch is a sweet, emotional, and exciting movie that reminds us of the importance of family— especially when your family includes a blue alien who eats everything!
Would we watch it again? Absolutely! With popcorn, please. 🍿💙
