LILO & STITCH actress, 8-year-old Maia Kealoha, is sharing all of her favorite moments from the new live-action movie.

Disney fans are outraged that one key character from the original “Lilo & Stitch” film was cut from this year’s live-action remake. Captain Gantu, the villain of the 2002 animated flick, was noticeably absent from the new version that hit theaters on Friday, May 23.

Chris Sanders, who directed and co-wrote the original animated Lilo & Stitch (2002) with Dean DeBlois, voices Stitch in the live-action film. He also wrote on How to Train Your Dragon (2010), The Croods (2013) and on The Wild Robot (2024), which he also directed.

Disney's "Lilo & Stitch'' scored the biggest Memorial Day opening of all time, hauling in $183 million over the four-day weekend to lap Tom Cruise's eighth and final "Mission Impossible'' film, according to updated industry estimates released today.

Disney's "Lilo & Stitch" remake is flawed but sweet, with great performances by Maia Kealoha, Sydney Elizebeth Agudong, and Stitch himself.

“Lilo & Stich” teamed with Tom Cruise for a monster Memorial Day box office weekend. Disney’s live action version of “Lilo & Stich” earned a staggering $145.5 million in North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday, the second biggest domestic opening of the year after “A Minecraft Movie.”

Disney's live-action Lilo and Stitch remake and Tom Cruise's supposedly final Mission: Impossible outing have opened as two of the biggest films of the year in a record-breaking weekend at the box office. Lilo and Stitch, which revisits the 2002 animated family favourite, exceeded expectations with takings of $341m (£252m) around the world.
