LOS ANGELES — Time to grab your ‘ohana and settle in—the live-action “Lilo & Stitch” is coming to Disney+!

This fresh take on the cherished Disney classic is equally amusing and touching as the original, encapsulating the enchantment that made the tale so extraordinary.

The film centers on a solitary girl named Lilo who adopts Stitch, an alien she believes to be a puppy. Together, they develop an unexpected friendship that mends Lilo’s fractured family, while Stitch creates mayhem all over the Hawaiian Islands.
