SAN DIEGO – A few things have changed for the stars of “Lilo & Stitch” since the movie became the breakout hit of 2025.

For 8-year-old star Maia Kealoha, it’s meant no more Doritos – she’s learned she has to keep her teeth clean, especially when doing interviews.

Kealoha, Sydney Agudong, and Tia Carrere have been making several appearances to celebrate “Lilo & Stitch” at Comic-Con 2025 and to promote the film’s availability for digital purchase.

Another change? Kealoha says with a big grin that she’s been recognized at stores “like five thousand times.”

Agudong describes the movie as “an ode to Hawaii,” marveling at how warmly it’s been embraced worldwide and acknowledging the enduring impact of ‘Lilo & Stitch’ as a timeless story.

She feels lucky to share the film’s success with her loved ones, managing to enjoy the beach and maintain her usual routine amidst the premieres and numerous interviews.

Kealoha and Agudong are the breakout stars of the film, which is the biggest blockbuster of 2025, earning more than $1 billion.

“Our little blue friend Stitch is now a billionaire and we couldn’t be more excited about it,” Carrere says excitedly.

As for a sequel, Agudong says the trio are feeling “hanna hou,” a Hawaiian term for repeating or doing something again.

“Though, of course, we cannot confirm or deny the existence of any such project in this universe or the next. Sorry!” Carrere cheerfully noted.
