Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch is heading to Disney Plus, joining its animated predecessor on the streaming service. The new film’s impressive $1 billion box office performance highlights its popularity, and its arrival on Disney Plus offers fans a convenient way to revisit the story.
Reconnecting with a Beloved Story
The film tells the familiar tale of Lilo, a spirited 6-year-old living in Hawaii with her older sister, Nani. Their lives take an unexpected turn when Lilo brings home Stitch, a small, blue alien. Unbeknownst to Lilo, Stitch – also known as Experiment 626 – is a fugitive on the run, causing chaos wherever he goes. Despite his unpredictable nature, Stitch quickly becomes the loyal friend Lilo has been longing for.
Navigating Family and Galactic Concerns
The journey to form a true ‘ohana’ (family) is not without challenges. Social services question Nani’s ability to care for Lilo, and Peakley and Jumba, representatives of the Galactic Federation, are determined to capture Stitch and return him to his home planet, Planet Turo.
When Can You Stream It?
For those eager to watch the live-action Lilo & Stitch, the wait is almost over. The film will be available to stream on Disney Plus starting June 16, 2024. This date provides a perfect opportunity for fans to compare the live-action adaptation with the original animated classic.
Lilo & Stitch ’s arrival on Disney Plus offers a chance to experience this heartwarming story in a new way, highlighting the importance of family, acceptance, and finding your place in the world.
