Live-Action Lilo & Stitch Teaser Continues A Trend Started By The Original, And I'm Geeking Out

As a seasoned gamer and Disney enthusiast with decades of experience under my belt, I have to say that the upcoming live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch has me both excited and apprehensive. The trailers are a fun nod to the original’s charm, but as someone who cherishes the heartwarming relationship between Lilo and Nani, I can’t help but worry about how they’ll handle it in live-action.


Disney’s live-action adaptations of classic animated tales remain a lucrative venture for them, as evidenced by their 2023 lineup which features two such movies: “Snow White” and “Lilo & Stitch”. A sneak peek at the former was released some time ago, but it’s now our first chance to see the latter in action. The little blue extraterrestrial from “Lilo & Stitch” is back to his old mischief, causing chaos in all things Disney.

Lilo & Stitch’s Live-Action Trailer Calls Back To The Animated Film

In the initial previews of the animated film “Lilo & Stitch”, Stitch, an alien character, was shown disrupting traditional Disney stories. For instance, he disrupted the well-known dance scene from “Beauty and the Beast” or interrupted Aladdin and Jasmine during their magical carpet ride. In a live-action setting, Stitch causes chaos at the famous Disney castle, giving off a vibe as if it were a trailer for “Moana”, but things quickly take a turn for the worse. Take a look at the trailer above.

Given that the trailer is likely to accompany the premiere of Moana 2 within the next few days, it’s only natural to draw a correlation. The scene opens with a stunning beach landscape and music reminiscent of Moana. However, Stitch appears, causing a ruckus and disrupting the tranquility.

Given that the live-action version of Moana is underway, viewers of Moana 2 might expect a trailer for that adaptation here. However, since you’re reading this, it’s important to clarify that the filming of the live-action Moana has only recently begun, and it’s premature to anticipate a trailer at this stage. Most casual viewers may not be aware of this timing.

The Best Part Of Lilo And Stitch Is Still Unseen

As somebody who loved those original Lilo & Stitch teasers, I hope we see more of them in live-action. It would be awesome if they brought in some of the cast of previous Disney live-action remakes to make fun teasers with Donald Glover voicing Simba or recreated the original Beauty & The Beast teaser using Emma Watson and Dan Stevens. Doing it in live-action would be a lot more complex than recreating the animation, but we can dream, can’t we?

Although I hold a deep affection for the initial trailers of “Lilo & Stitch,” and I must admit that the original film remains one of my favorites, I remain eagerly anticipating the remake, as its ultimate quality won’t be solely dependent on Stitch.

One could argue that “Lilo & Stitch” stands among Disney’s top-tier animated films, but it’s not just the alien character that makes it exceptional. Instead, it’s the deeply moving human relationships that truly set it apart. The bond between Lilo and her sister Nani is particularly touching in the original story, adding a layer of emotional depth that elevates the film to greatness. It’s their heartfelt sisterly love that truly shines.

Initially, just like many others, we didn’t fully grasp the deeper meaning of Lilo & Stitch in our initial viewing. However, if viewers are drawn to it primarily for the amusing alien antics, that’s perfectly alright. Here’s hoping that we all get to appreciate something profoundly moving along with the fun as well.
