Second Look Unveiled: Lilo And Stitch Live Action Clip Drops After CinemaCon 2025 – What’s Next for the Remake?

Disney has just released a thrilling second look at the upcoming Lilo & Stitch remake with a new Lilo And Stitch live action clip, shared on their official X account on April 3, 2025.

This follows the buzz from CinemaCon 2025, where an extended scene was showcased, and comes on the heels of the official trailer that dropped on March 12, 2025, which became Disney’s second-most viewed live-action trailer with 158 million views in 24 hours.

Set to premiere in theaters on May 23, 2025, this clip gives fans another glimpse of the mischievous Stitch in action, building anticipation for the live-action adaptation of the 2002 animated classic.

What Does the Second Clip Reveal After CinemaCon 2025?

This new clip, released shortly after CinemaCon 2025, features Stitch causing chaos, likely at Nani’s workplace, echoing the extended scene shown to exhibitors at the convention. The CinemaCon footage highlighted Lilo being left at a picnic table at an outdoor restaurant where Nani works, setting the stage for Stitch’s antics.

This second look reinforces the film’s focus on humor and the dynamic between Lilo and Stitch, staying true to the original’s tone while showcasing the updated visual style.

How Does This Clip Build on the Official Trailer’s Momentum?

The official trailer, released on March 12, 2025, set the internet ablaze, trending at #1 on X, YouTube, and Douyin within an hour and amassing 158 million views in its first 24 hours. It introduced key characters like Lilo (Maia Kealoha) and Nani (Sydney Elizebeth Agudong) for the first time.

This second clip builds on that momentum by offering a closer look at Stitch’s personality, voiced again by Chris Sanders, and hinting at the emotional core of the story—the bond of ohana (family)—that made the 2002 film a beloved classic.

What Can Fans Expect from the Lilo & Stitch Live-Action Remake?

Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On), the film stars Maia Kealoha as Lilo, with Chris Sanders reprising his role as Stitch. The cast also includes Sydney Elizebeth Agudong as Nani, Zach Galifianakis as Dr. Jumba Jookiba, and Billy Magnussen as Agent Pleakley.

Original cast members like Tia Carrere, who voiced Nani in the animated film, return in new roles—Carrere plays Mrs. Kekoa, a social worker, in this adaptation.

What’s the Backstory Behind the Lilo & Stitch Remake?

Disney first announced the live-action remake in 2018, with early development involving writer Mike Van Waes. Jon M. Chu was in talks to direct in 2020 but stepped away, leading to Dean Fleischer Camp taking the helm in 2022.

Chris Kekaniokalani Bright rewrote the script, and the project shifted from a Disney+ release to a theatrical debut, confirmed for May 23, 2025, during the 2024 D23 convention.

How Has Disney Marketed the Lilo & Stitch Remake So Far?

Disney’s marketing has been nostalgia-driven. The first teaser, released on November 25, 2024, showed Stitch destroying a sandcastle resembling Cinderella Castle. At CinemaCon 2025, a poster featured Stitch interacting with elements from Disney’s various studios, including Marvel and Pixar.

The official trailer’s massive success set a high bar, and this second clip continues to fuel excitement with its focus on Stitch’s unruly behavior and the Hawaiian setting.

What Are Fans Saying About the New Clip?

Fan reactions on X are mixed but passionate. @TytoGuardian76 celebrated Stitch quoting a line from Lilo & Stitch 2, while @monnarkh questioned if the remake will succeed or flop like Disney’s recent Snow White.

Others, like @TheChocoHunk, expressed hope that the film will outshine past live-action remakes, reflecting the high stakes for this adaptation.

How Does the Remake Highlight Hawaiian Culture?

Filmed in Hawaii, the remake emphasizes the story’s cultural roots. Disney’s campaign includes AR filters for fans to “spot” Stitch and posts highlighting Hawaiian culture and the theme of ohana.

The production blends CGI with practical effects to bring authenticity to the setting, aiming to resonate with audiences through its heartfelt portrayal of family.

Some Closing Thoughts:

This second look at the Lilo & Stitch remake, following the CinemaCon 2025 reveal and the record-breaking official trailer, has fans buzzing with anticipation for the May 23, 2025, release.

With a talented cast, a director skilled in blending animation and live-action, and a marketing strategy that taps into nostalgia, Disney is setting the stage for a potential hit.

Will this live-action adaptation capture the magic of the original? Only time will tell, but this latest clip has certainly kept the excitement alive.
