The much-anticipated official trailer for the live-action remake of *Lilo & Stitch* has finally been released, giving fans an exciting glimpse into the film. The trailer showcases Maia Kealoha's portrayal of Lilo, bringing to life the character originally voiced by Daveigh Chase in the 2002 animated classic. Kealoha steps into the spotlight, promising a fresh yet faithful interpretation of Lilo's beloved character.
While previous teasers have highlighted Stitch, this trailer focuses more on Lilo and introduces us to Courtney B. Vance as the stern yet caring Cobra Bubbles, and Billy Magnussen as the quirky Pleakley. An intriguing element of the trailer reveals that Jumba, portrayed by Zach Galifianakis, and Pleakley will initially disguise themselves as humans on Earth, a twist from their usual alien appearances. However, fans will be thrilled to catch a brief glimpse of Pleakley in his true alien form.
The trailer also recreates iconic scenes from the original film, including Stitch's dramatic arrival as a falling star, his clever disguise at the animal shelter, and the poignant moment when Lilo explains, "Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten." These scenes are lovingly brought to life in live-action, staying true to the heart of the story.
*Lilo & Stitch* is set to hit theaters on May 23, 2025, adding to the growing list of Disney's beloved classics receiving the live-action treatment. This release follows closely on the heels of the live-action *Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs*, slated for March 21, 2025.
