This summer, Disney is releasing a new live-action reimagining of its classic animated film, “Lilo & Stitch”, which tells the wildly funny and touching story of a lonely Hawaiian girl and the fugitive alien who helps to mend her broken family.

“Lilo & Stitch” is directed by award-winning filmmaker Dean Fleischer Camp, with a screenplay by Chris Kekaniokalani Bright and Mike Van Waes, and stars Sydney Elizebeth Agudong, Billy Magnussen, Tia Carrere, Hannah Waddingham, Chris Sanders, with Courtney B. Vance, and Zach Galifianakis, and introducing Maia Kealoha. “Lilo & Stitch” is produced by Jonathan Eirich, and Dan Lin, with Tom Peitzman, Ryan Halprin, Louie Provost, Thomas Schumacher serving as executive producers.

When Is “Lilo & Stitch” Released?

“Lilo & Stitch” is being released exclusively in cinemas first on May 23rd, 2025.

When Will “Lilo & Stitch” Be On Disney+?

Currently, no official Disney+ release date has yet been announced.

As with other major movie releases from Disney, we should expect “Lilo & Stitch” to be available in cinemas for a couple of months before it is released on digital platforms to purchase and rent. 

Based on previous releases, new Disney movies generally don’t arrive on Disney+ until about 100 days after their initial theatrical release. So, it’s unlikely we will see “Lilo & Stitch” arrive on Disney+ until the end of August, possibly early September, especially if the film turns out to be a big hit with families over the summer holidays.

What Time Will “Lilo & Stitch” Be Released On Disney+

Disney+ updates daily at the following times:

• Pacific Time: 00:00 AM / Midnight
• Eastern Time: 03:00 AM
• UK: 08:00 AM
• Sydney, Australia – 19:00 PM

Sometimes, films can arrive a few minutes later as the servers update. The Disney+ front page usually updates about an hour later.
