‘Lilo & Stitch' Is Now Streaming—How To Watch The Blockbuster Film At Home
Lilo & Stitch (2025) Lilo & Stitch, the second biggest film of 2025, has officially arrived on digital platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV+ before debuting on Disney+ sometime in the future. Learn how to watch the blockbuster live-action remake from the comfort of your home below. Lilo & Stitch (2025) is a live-action remake of the beloved 2002 animated original, which inspired several spinoffs, including the popular TV show Lilo & Stitch: The Series. The film tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a lonely Hawaiian girl named Lilo and a dog-like alien named Stitch, whom she hopes will help heal her broken family. What Lilo doesn't know is that Stitch was genetically engineered for destruction — and now he's being hunted down by the aliens who created him. 'Stitch, an extraterrestrial entity, comes to planet Earth after he escapes his prison, where he tries to impersonate a dog. Things take a turn when Lilo adopts him from an animal shelter,' the synopsis reads. The film had an outstanding run at the box office, opening with a record-breaking $183 million Memorial Day weekend debut. Just days ago, Lilo & Stitch became the first Hollywood release of the year to hit $1 billion at the worldwide box office. It's currently the second-highest-grossing movie of the year in the U.S., behind A Minecraft Movie, according to Box Office Mojo. With a live-action sequel already in the works, here's how to stream Lilo & Stitch for your next movie night. How To Watch Lilo & Stitch At Home Lilo & Stitch (2025) Lilo & Stitch is currently available to stream on video-on-demand platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Fandango At Home. You can purchase the live-action remake for $29.99 or rent the film for $24.99. For rentals, you have 30 days to start watching the video and 48 hours to finish once started. When Will Lilo & Stitch Be Released On Blu-ray, DVD And 4K? Lilo & Stitch (2025) Lilo & Stitch will also be released on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on August 26, 2025. The physical versions are available for pre-order now from retailers such as Amazon. The digital and Blu-ray releases will include fun bonus features, including deleted scenes, bloopers, behind-the-scenes moments and more. Check out the full list of bonus features below: Which Streaming Service Will Lilo & Stitch (2025) Land On? Lilo & Stitch (2025) Lilo & Stitch is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, so the live-action film will be released on Disney+ in the near future. When Will Lilo & Stitch (2025) Be Streaming On Disney+? Lilo & Stitch (2025) Lilo & Stitch will likely arrive on Disney+ about three to four months after its theatrical premiere in May 2025, placing the streaming release around late August or early to mid-September 2025. This timeline is based on the release patterns of other recently successful Disney films. For example, Moana premiered in theaters in November 2024 and landed on Disney+ in March 2025, just over three months later. 2024's Mufasa: The Lion King had a slightly shorter theatrical window of 96 days, but still debuted on Disney+ more than three months after its release. Meanwhile, Disney's live-action Snow White remake, which flopped in theaters this spring, arrived on Disney+ just under three months after its premiere. Based on Lilo & Stitch's stronger box office performance and its late July digital release, we expect it to follow a timeline closer to or slightly over three months. Stay tuned for updates on when Lilo & Stitch will be available on Disney+. Check out the official trailer below.

Watch: 'Weird Al' Yankovic leads star-studded Coldplay kiss cam spoof
1 of 5 | "Weird Al" Yankovic spoofed the recent Coldplay "kiss cam" scandal on "The Late Show" Monday. File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo July 22 (UPI) -- "Weird Al" Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda led a star-studded Coldplay kiss cam spoof on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Monday. The duo performed the Coldplay song "Viva la Vida," and then spotlighted several "couples" in the audience. The parody was a nod to the recent controversy surrounding Astronomer's former CEO Andy Byron, who was spotted with the company's HR head, Kristin Cabot, at a Coldplay concert last week. When the "kiss cam" zoomed in on Byron and Cabot, who are married to other people, Byron ducked and Cabot covered her face. "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy," said the band's frontman Chris Martin. The moment has circulated widely online and inspired countless spoofs since. Byron subsequently resigned from Astronomer. As Yankovic and Miranda sang, the camera zoomed in on several "couples," portrayed by Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, and Adam Sandler and Christopher McDonald. Colbert said the song was an effort to cheer up his fans after the news that The Late Show, which has been on the air since 1993, has been canceled.

'Genshin Impact' unveils Nod-Krai cast in 'Welkin Moon' teaser
July 22 (UPI) -- Genshin Impact is introducing the cast of its upcoming Nod-Krai region. The fantasy action role-playing video game shared a teaser, "Song of the Welkin Moon: Moonlit Ballad of the Night," on Tuesday featuring Varka, Alice, Durin, Sandrone, Columbina and other characters. The lunar-themed video is narrated by Nicole, a member of the Hexenzirkel witches. It opens with Varka, the leader of Mondstadt's Knights of Favonius, being called to listen to a story told by the character Nefer, who is later shown to have a green, seemingly Egyptian-inspired design. The camera then pans to Ineffa, who was previously introduced and will release in version 5.8, Jahoda and Durin, the human embodiment of the dragon created by Rhinedottir, a Hexenzirkel witch and one of the Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah. Others include Sandrone and Columbina, two members of the Fatui Harbingers, Lauma, who was introduced in the "Through the Silent Frostbound Night" teaser last week, and Flins. Columbina is shown to be the "Moon Maiden" at the center of the story. "She scatters dewdrops upon every bloom / And tints the twilight with a sheen of silver / Thus do shadows howl across the gloomy woods / As flocks of deer and birds take fright and shiver / She hums one nameless tune / While walking through those solitary halls / So her homeland may not fall to desolation / So the tale may not be lost to oblivion," the official description reads. The teaser ends with existing characters Albedo and Wanderer approaching Alice, a Hexenzirkel witch and Klee's mother. Alice has been mentioned and heard but not shown in the game thus far. Genshin Impact version 5.8 will release July 29 in the United States. Nod-Krai and its cast are expected to be fully introduced in version 6.0 and beyond.
