Looper’s review of “Lilo & Stitch” describes it as a commendable family film, even if it doesn’t quite reach the heights of the outstanding original. (But then, what live-action Disney remake does?) Undoubtedly, many families who watched the movie were thrilled to see Lilo (Maia Kealoha) and Stitch (Chris Sanders) reunite, considering they are some of Disney’s most beloved characters. However, is there anything that warrants sticking around after the movie’s final scene?

The beginning of the credits showcases a series of photographs illustrating what the characters are up to following the movie’s conclusion, similar to the animated original’s credits. We witness Nani (Sydney Elizabeth Agudong) and Lilo’s home being rebuilt, and Stitch even dresses up as Elvis as an homage to the original film. Additionally, there is a mid-credits scene featuring Nani, now pursuing marine biology studies at UC San Diego, communicating with Lilo via video chat.

Lilo and Stitch now reside with David (Kaipo Dudoit) and his grandmother Tūtū (Amy Hill), but even an ocean can’t separate the sisters. In this scene, Nani utilizes a portal gun obtained from Jumba (Zach Galifianakis) to immediately transport herself to Lilo’s bedroom, where the sisters warmly embrace. Cobra Bubbles (Courtney B. Vance), who is now part of the sisters’ ohana, checks on Lilo before Nani can portal back to San Diego; she quickly hides under the covers with her sibling and Stitch. The sisters share a heartfelt “Good night, sister,” and Stitch concludes the film by affectionately saying, “Good night, sisters.” While there isn’t anything further after that, making it unnecessary to stay until the credits fully roll, it’s a touching moment that beautifully wraps things up.

It’s fun to spend an extra minute with Lilo and Stitch, but many might wonder whether the film sets up a potential sequel. That’s not the case, however, as everything wraps up pretty nicely. Stitch is allowed to remain on Earth, courtesy of the Grand Councilwoman (Hannah Waddingham), who recognizes how much being part of an ohana has helped him. Nani is still very close to Lilo, and any potential interstellar dangers have been neutralized for the time being. 2025’s “Lilo & Stitch” absolutely stands on its own, but a sequel is likely in the cards regardless.

Disney Entertainment Co-Chairman Alan Bergman told The Wall Street Journal that Disney is already exploring sequel opportunities. “It feels like it’s going to work very well, and it’s the kind of property that lends itself to more,” he said. There’s certainly plenty of source material to draw from, as the original “Lilo & Stitch” received three direct-to-video sequels in addition to a TV series, “Lilo & Stitch: The Series,” that debuted back in 2003 and ran for two seasons with another TV movie as a finale. “Lilo & Stitch” also resulted in some of the weirdest Disney spin-off cartoons, like the anime “Stitch!,” which sees the titular alien team up with a young Japanese girl.

2025’s “Lilo & Stitch” grossed $341 million worldwide in its opening weekend, a number that’s only going to get bigger. With a reported budget of $100 million, it’s already a profitable hit, so it makes sense that Disney would want to rake in more cash with subsequent Stitch stories, so don’t be surprised if you hear about “Lilo & Stitch 2” soon.
