Disney has just released a full-length trailer for its live-action version of the beloved animated movie, Lilo and Stitch, and it looks like it will be just as much fun as the original!
The trailer starts with Stitch, the little blue alien, escaping from an alien testing station and crashing on Earth in beautiful Hawaii. There, he meets a young girl named Lilo, played by Maia Kealoha. Lilo asks her older sister, Nani, played by Sydney Agudong, to let them keep Stitch as their pet. But things get wild when other aliens, disguised as humans, come to Earth to capture Stitch!

Fans of the original movie will be happy to see some classic moments in the trailer. There’s a funny scene where a man drops his ice cream in surprise after spotting an alien, and Lilo gets teased during her hula class. We also get to see some favourite characters like Pleakley, voiced by Billy Magnussen, and Cobra Bubbles, played by Courtney B. Vance.
One of the biggest concerns from fans was how Stitch looked in the first teaser. Many thought he appeared too grey and dull. But in this new trailer, Stitch looks much brighter and cuter, which has made fans very happy.
It seems that excitement for this live-action movie is growing. Many viewers are looking forward to it more than other recent Disney remakes. One fan commented, “First live-action remake I’m actually looking forward to,” while another said, “We can all agree that this live-action remake gives us hope that not all of them can be bad.”
