Lilo & Stitch: A Live-Action Ohana Adventure
Disney’s live-action reimagining of the 2002 animated classic, directed by Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On), follows Lilo (Maia Kealoha), a lonely Hawaiian girl, and Stitch (voiced by Chris Sanders), a fugitive alien, as they mend her broken family. With a stellar cast—Sydney Agudong (Nani), Billy Magnussen, Tia Carrere (Mrs. Kekoa), Hannah Waddingham, Courtney B. Vance, and Zach Galifianakis—the film blends humor, heart, and Hawaiian vibes. Running 1 hour 48 minutes with a U rating, it’s perfect for families, though it includes flashing lights that may affect photosensitive viewers.
Produced by Jonathan Eirich and Dan Lin, with a screenplay by Chris Kekaniokalani Bright and Mike Van Waes, Lilo & Stitch promises to capture the original’s spirit. Find showtimes via TGI Movie for UK cinema showtimes in 2D, 3D, 4DX, or Superscreen at ODEON, Cineworld, or Vue.
Synopsis
The film tells the story of "the bond formed between a lonely human girl named Lilo and a dog-like alien named Stitch, who is engineered to be a force of destruction. Pursuing aliens, social workers and the idea of the bond of family figure into the proceedings."
