The story follows Lilo and her older sister Nani who live in Hawaii and are trying to make ends meet since their parents died. Nani is trying to impress Child Protective Services so that Lilo doesn’t get taken away from her. When Lilo decides she wants to get a dog, Nani takes her to the pound and what the young girl finds is actually a blue alien who is a fugitive. Stitch, as Lilo names him, starts becoming Lilo’s only friend, until struggles tear them apart. Once Stitch gets caught and is about to be taken back to space, we learn that Stitch is apart of Lilo and Nani’s family and he is granted the right to stay.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the remake is intended to be a live-action/CG hybrid produced by the team behind the live-action remake of “Aladdin,” currently in production and set to release in May 2019. It is unknown at this time if the live-action version of Lilo & Stitch will be released in theaters or on Disney’s proposed streaming service set to launch in 2019.
While not a commercial success, Lilo & Stitch found an audience and launched several direct-to-video sequels and a television series. This movie also changed the way many think about family and gave audiences a quote they all remember:
Ohana means family and family means that nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten.
