With the arrival of Lilo & Stitch, Disney is set to welcome one of its most beloved characters to its streaming home on Disney Plus. The live-action release has raked in just over $1 billion at the box office and will make its way to your TV screen, finding a seat next to its animated predecessor on the streaming platform. 

Lilo & Stitch revisits the original story of 6-year-old Lilo, a Hawaiian girl being cared for by her older sister Nani, and Stitch, a little blue fugitive alien. Their paths cross when Lilo adopts him as her pet dog, and they soon learn he’s no ordinary creature but an extraterrestrial named Experiment 626 on the run. He’s chaotic, mischievous and a little unpredictable, but he’s also the best friend Lilo never had. 

Standing in the way of them fully becoming ohana (family) are social services, who doubt Nani’s abilities as a caretaker, and Peakley and Jumba, Galactic Federation representatives trying to capture Stitch and take him back to Planet Turo.
