‘Lilo & Stitch' Is Now Streaming—How To Watch The Disney Live-Action Hit At Home
Lilo & Stitch (2025) Lilo & Stitch, the second biggest film of 2025, has officially arrived on digital platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV+ before debuting on Disney+ sometime in the future. Keep reading to learn how to watch the blockbuster live-action remake for your next movie night below. Lilo & Stitch (2025) is a live-action remake of the beloved 2002 animated original, which inspired several spinoffs, including the popular TV show Lilo & Stitch: The Series. The film tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a lonely Hawaiian girl named Lilo and a dog-like alien named Stitch, whom she hopes will help heal her broken family. What Lilo doesn't know is that Stitch was genetically engineered for destruction — and now he's being hunted down by the aliens who created him. 'Stitch, an extraterrestrial entity, comes to planet Earth after he escapes his prison, where he tries to impersonate a dog. Things take a turn when Lilo adopts him from an animal shelter,' the synopsis reads. The film marks 8-year-old Maia Kealoha's breakout role. 'I relate to her because we're both from Hawaii and we're a little bit sassy," the Lilo actress told Deadline. 'We also like fun clothes, and we love surfing. I go surfing in my free time. We also love to dance hula because hula tells a story just like you can tell a story about any different kind of movie.' Sydney Elizabeth Agudong, who plays Nani, added: 'I'm an absolute OG fan of the film. I was looking at this new one like a clean slate. So, I really took to a lot of her identity as the older sister. It was something I held on to the entire time." Lilo & Stitch had an outstanding run at the box office, starting with a record-breaking $183 million debut in its first weekend — the highest-grossing four-day Memorial Day weekend opening in U.S. history. Then, just days ago, Lilo & Stitch became the first Hollywood release of the year to hit $1 billion at the worldwide box office. The movie is currently the second-biggest of the year in the U.S. in both worldwide and domestic gross, according to Box Office Mojo. Its success has been fueled by families and Gen Zers who grew up watching the franchise. Here's how to stream Lilo & Stitch at home, along with details on bonus features, the Disney+ streaming release timeline and updates on Lilo & Stitch 2. How To Watch Lilo & Stitch At Home Lilo & Stitch (2025) Lilo & Stitch is currently available to stream on video-on-demand platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Fandango At Home.

Check out the full list of bonus features below: When Will Lilo & Stitch (2025) Be Streaming On Disney+? Lilo & Stitch (2025) Lilo & Stitch is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, so the live-action film will be released on Disney+ in the near future. It will likely arrive around three to four months after its theatrical premiere, which is sometime in late August or early to mid-September 2025. This timeline is based on the release patterns of other recently successful Disney films. For example, Moana premiered in theaters in November 2024 and landed on Disney+ in March 2025, just over three months later. 2024's Mufasa: The Lion King had a slightly shorter theatrical window of 96 days, but still debuted on Disney+ more than three months after its release. Will There Be A Lilo & Stitch 2? Lilo & Stitch (2025) If you want more of Stitch, Lilo and Nani, you'll be pleased to know that Lilo & Stitch 2 is officially happening. Disney announced in late June that the sequel is currently in development following the massive commercial and critical success of the 2025 film. The announcement was revealed in a fun video shared on Disney's Instagram account. The clip shows Experiment 626 cruising around the Disney lot in the iconic pink children's car from the film. "should've known he couldn't keep a secret. a 626 day surprise: #LiloAndStitch 2 is now in development!" the caption read. The Hollywood Reporter reported on July 23 that Chris Sanders, who co-created, co-wrote, and co-directed the 2002 animated Lilo & Stitch, is in final negotiations to return as the writer for the sequel. Sanders previously voiced the little blue alien in the original film and reprised the role in the live-action version. It's too early to know exactly where Lilo & Stitch 2 will go. The original movie was followed by two direct-to-video sequels, Stitch! The Movie and Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch, as well as Lilo & Stitch: The Series. According to THR, the new sequel will tell 'a brand-new story.' Stay tuned to learn more details. Check out the official trailer below.

‘Lilo & Stitch 2' a Go at Disney
Walt Disney Pictures is officially moving ahead on a sequel to the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch. The announcement was made via social media Thursday, timed to June 26, aka 6-26. That number ties to Stitch as the wild blue-haired alien is known as Experiment 626 in the movie. (See what the studio did there?) More from The Hollywood Reporter Box Office: 'Elio' Limps to Record-Low $21M Pixar Opening as 'How to Train Your Dragon' Stays No. 1 'How to Train Your Dragon' Filmmaker Dean DeBlois Details the Live-Action Remake's Half Hour of New Material 'How to Train Your Dragon' Star Nico Parker Reacts to Trolls About Her Casting: "I Can't Value Your Opinion on My Hair" That a sequel is in the works was never in doubt. The movie has grossed over $923 million worldwide on a budget of about $100 million. Most movies with that kind of box office usually have more than double Lilo's budget. The movie has humble origins that are in keeping with a Stitch-like, gleeful and chaotic vibe: It was initially headed to Disney+ as an original movie for the platform before execs reconsidered its release and upgraded it to theatrical. Remaking the animated 2002 movie directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, the story centers on a young lonely girl, played by Maia Kealoha, who befriends a whirling dervish of blue dog, who happens to be an on-the-run alien genetically engineered as a creature of destruction. Zach Galifianakis and Billy Magnussen play aliens in human form who are hunting Experiment 626. Dean Fleischer Camp directed the movie, which was written by Chris Kekaniokalani Bright and Mike Van Waes. It was produced by Jonathan Eirich and Dan Lin, the latter now the head of Netflix Films. Ryan Halprin and Louis Provost executive produced, as well as Tom Peitzman and Thomas Schumacher. Thursday's announcement did not specify any creative team on board for the sequel.
