We're now less than a week away from the release of Disney's live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch, and some early reactions have started to drop from those who have already seen the movie
Thankfully, it looks like fans can rest easy that the remake will live up to their expectations, as the reactions seem to be predominantly very positive.
In fact, one critic wrote in a post on Twitter, which has been rebranded as X, that the film is "the BIGGEST SURPRISE of the year and easily the BEST Disney live action remake yet" - high praise indeed.
Another critic agreed, and added that while the film hits similar beats to the original, it also has some added "new flavours".
Another critic called the film "heartwarming" and said it gave "more depth to Lilo & Nani" than the original, while another said that while "Stitch will completely steal your heart", newcomer Maia Kealoha should also be praised, and is "a breakout star".

It’s got genuine heart in a way some Disney remakes lack."
The new Lilo & Stitch comes after the original was released in 2002, and alongside Kealoha as Lilo and Chris Sanders reprising his voice role as Stitch, it also stars Sydney Elizebeth Agudong, Billy Magnussen, Tia Carrere, Hannah Waddingham, Courtney B Vance and Zach Galifianakis.
It arrives after Disney's most recent live-action remake, Snow White, which was released earlier this year. Meanwhile a live-action remake of another animated film, Dreamworks' How to Train Your Dragon, is also on the way this summer.
Lilo & Stitch will be released on Friday 23rd May 2025.
