Move apart live - action Sonic ; there ’s a new lively - action at law furball in town .

We’ve finally got a first look at theLilo & Stitchlive-action remake, and the lovable, mischievous blue alien’s antics are already going viral.

At 2024 D23: The UltimateDisneyFan Event in Anaheim, California, everyone got a sneak peek at what Experiment 626 will look like in the live-action adaptation of the original 2002 animated movie.

In the teaser at the Walt Disney Pictures panel, the alien menace ripped through the screen, revealing that the movie is set to premiere in the summer of 2025.

What we know so far about the movie is that Dean Fleischer Camp will direct it and will feature filmmaker and animator Chris Sanders, the original voice of Stitch, reprising his role.

Stitch’sbest friend, Lilo, will be played by Maia Kealoha.

Sydney Agudong will play Lilo’s big sister Nani.

And Kaipo Dudoit will be Nani’s love interest, David Kawena.

Actors from the original series, Tia Carrere (who voiced Nani) and Amy Hill (who voiced Mrs. Hasagawa), are returning as new characters in the live-action remake along with actors Billy Magnussen, Courtney B. Vance, andZach Galifianakis.

As a fan of Stitch, I’m excited to see how everything will turn out, and I’m not alone. Here’s what some of the fans are saying:

It’s undeniable that Stitch is adorable in all forms.

Lilo and Stitch in a playful moment; Stitch laughs on the ground while Lilo stands above him, hands raised. Both characters are from the animated movie, "Lilo & Stitch."

It’s canon that theLilo & Stitchsoundtrack from the TV show and movies is top-tier.

Perhaps the best reaction to the teaser is people misunderstanding Stitch’s iconic alien catchphrase. When the destructive alien burst out, he shouted something that sounded really close to a racial slur, and everyone did a double-take.

I m drab but who generate Stitch the pass ?

Don’t worry, folks. The live-actionLilo & Stitchisn’t a rated R movie, and he didn’t curse…well, not in any human language. He said, “Meega nala kweesta” which he’s been shouting since he was a 2D-animated alien in 2002.

I’m looking forward to the newLilo & Stitch!
