However, there are some major differences from the original, according to USA TODAY. For starters, Nani's character is expanded: Once a star student and athlete, she has now shelved her college dreams of studying marine biology so that she can work and raise Lilo.
In the original movie, Jumba (Zach Galifianakis) and Pleakley (Billy Magnussen) don a variety of disguises – glasses, sunhats, dresses ‒ as they covertly track down Stitch, but now the characters assume human form when they arrive on Earth.
Some characters have been removed, such as the alien antagonist Gantu. Cobra Bubbles is also only a federal agent in this version and the social worker named Mrs. Kekoa is added.
Lastly, the ending is mostly different with a chaotic spacecraft crash and Nani ultimately giving up custody of Lilo to their neighbor, Tūtū, to attend college in California.
Oh, and Pudge (the fish that controls the weather, according to Lilo) doesn't eat peanut butter sandwiches. Instead, it's lettuce and tomato sandwiches.
The movie is directed by Dean Fleischer Camp and stars:
Maia Kealoha as Lilo
Chris Sanders as Stitch (who also voiced the original Stitch)
Sydney Elizebeth Agudong as Nani
Tia Carrere as Mrs. Kekoa
Zach Galifianakis as Jumba
Billy Magnussen as Pleakley
Courtney B. Vance as Cobra Bubbles
Hannah Waddingham as Grand Councilwoman
Yes! Walt Disney World guests can meet their favorite alien at Magic Kingdom during the nightly DJ dance party at Rocket Tower Plaza Stage.

Amanda Knox had ‘chills' watching Hulu series on her life
Amanda Knox has reacted to the actress who plays her in the new Hulu limited series 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.' Knox lauded Grace Van Patten for the portrayal, telling People that her performance gave her 'chills,' and Van Patten has the 'ability to just take on the whimsy but the gravitas of this role.' 'I felt like I could finally grieve the young person that I was,' an emotional Knox told the magazine at the Aug. 19 premiere screening at the New York Historical Society in New York City. 'Someone recently said that what happened is someone stole my sparkle. They didn't just steal my freedom; they stole my sparkle.' She added, 'And seeing her bring it back again — I'm just so grateful to her, that she's honored that for me.' 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox' The new series tells the true story of Knox, who was convicted of murder twice in relation to the death of her British roommate, Meredith Kercher, while studying abroad in Italy in 2007. Knox spent four years in an Italian jail before she was exonerated in 2015 by Italy's highest court. The eight-part series, which former White House aide Monica Lewinsky serves as a producer, chronicles the wrongful conviction and how the ordeal has impacted her family, Kercher's family and Knox's boyfriend at the time, Raffaele Sollecito, who was also convicted and then acquitted for Kercher's death, according to NPR. Meredith Kercher's family reacts to show Kercher's sister, Stephanie, chose to remember her 'for her own fight for life,' she told The Guardian in November 2024, when the series began filming in Italy. Stephanie Kercher told The Guardian her family found it 'difficult to understand' the purpose of the show. 'We will forever feel this indescribable void, but we live by Meredith's standards with dignity,' she said at the time. In March, Knox appeared on NewsNation's 'Banfield' to promote her book ' Free: My Search for Meaning ' and revealed details about her time in prison, which she said was 'dehumanizing' and rife with sexual harassment. 'I was also being highly sexualized in the media as this whore who would go with anybody. I think some male guards got the idea that if they could just find themselves alone in a room with me, they could take advantage of that,' Knox told Ashleigh Banfield at the time. On Van Patten's performance, Knox told People, 'Everyone I know who has seen this has just been like, 'How did she do that? How?'' She added, 'She is incredible, and I'm so grateful to her because I feel like that is something that I've struggled with for so long, is how much people have rendered me two-dimensional. And she finally honors that young person that I was and the person I am today.' Critics have had mixed reactions to the show, with Vox saying that the character portrayals are 'uneven and unsatisfying.' The outlet added that the show's attempts to highlight Kercher are 'shallow' since she and Knox only knew one another for a few weeks before her murder. The Hulu series premiered Wednesday, Aug. 20.

‘It Just Broke Me': Katee Sackhoff Explains Why She Lost ‘All' Of Her Confidence After Working On The Mandalorian
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. While Katee Sackhoff was certainly a well-known actor prior to 2020 thanks to Battlestar Galactica, Longmire, Riddick, 24 and various other projects, her profile definitely got a major boost from The Mandalorian. Following her animated outings as Bo-Katan Kryze in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, Sackhoff brought her Star Wars character to life in live-action in the Disney+ subscription-exclusive show's second season, then returned for Season 3. In the midst of that though, there was something that triggered Sackhoff to lose 'all' of her confidence and doubt her acting abilities. The actress talked about this dark time in her life while she was chatting with her Battlestar Galactica co-star Tahmoh Penikett on The Sackhoff Show, where the two of them also reflected on how they were wrong to reject Edward James Olmos' advice when they were younger. Sackhoff informed Penikett that she 'just now figured out a process almost 30 years' into her acting career and hired an acting coach. When he asked her to elaborate, she started off by saying: … What had happened was I lost all of my confidence after Mandalorian… My style of acting has always just been your first instinct is the right instinct. Do that. Play the reality of the situation. And I've never really played a character. You know what I mean? I've always played two steps removed from myself, in a sense. Like, it always felt grounded in some part of my belly of who I was. Bo-Katan is nowhere near who I am as a human being. Her life, what she wants. I didn't understand her. As much as I understood her, I never felt her in my stomach. I never identified with her. I didn't know how to find her. It's one thing to voice a character across a handful of episodes of two animated TV shows (and later the anthology series Star Wars: Tales of the Empire), but playing Bo-Katan on camera marked a major turning point for Katee Sackhoff. More eyes were on her than ever, and while it may have looked on the outside like she was effectively playing the character, the experience was enough for her to start doubting herself because she wasn't able to connect to Bo-Katan on a deeper level. Sackhoff continued: It broke me. It just broke me where I started doubting everything about myself. I'm not a strong auditioner on tape and I was having to put myself on tape. I wasn't booking anything, and for three years, I basically didn't work… I broke down. I was crying one day with [Michael Trucco] at his kitchen counter. And he was like, 'You're going to be fine. You always work.' And I was like, 'I'm not okay, man. I'm not working. I'm so broken. I've got no confidence left. I don't know what to do. I'm lost.' Michael Trucco is another one of Katee Sackhoff's Battlestar Galactica cohorts, and she and him have remained close since the show ended in 2009. That's exemplified by how she was willing to be vulnerable in front of him about her acting struggles. She then told Tahmoh Penikett about how she was 'scrambling' at this point because she 'had no technique to fall back on,' which then led to a clash with her ex-manager: And the worst thing was my old manager would say things like, 'This is just easy for you. It's so easy for you. You don't even have to try. Just stop trying. You're trying too hard." And he would say, 'You're just better at this. Just stop.' And I I lost it at him one day and started screaming. I was like, 'Stop saying that to me. You're destroying me because you've told me my entire life it's easy for me and it's not fucking easy. And now I'm at a point where I'm falling apart because it's not easy, and you're telling me it's easy. It's so dismissive. From there, Katee Sackhoff hired a new manager, told him how she felt, and he set her up with an acting coach. That coach then told Sackhoff it wasn't her goal to teach her out to act since she already knew how to do that, but just to get the Kara Thrace actress back in her 'belly.' Evidently it worked, as Sackhoff sounds like she's in a much more confident place. Otherwise, I doubt she would have discussed this subject while Tahmoh Penikett was appearing on her podcast. That said, it's unclear when we'll see Katee Sackhoff reprise Bo-Katan Kryze again. Although The Mandalorian & Grogu comes out on May 22, 2026, but here's been no mention of her being in the cast. Still, given both Sackhoff and Bo-Katan's popularity, I have to think there'll come a day when she returns to the Star Wars universe, even if it's not necessarily tied to Din Djarin's story.
