'Lilo & Stitch 2' Live-Action Sequel Greenlit At Disney
With Lilo & Stitch and How to Train Your Dragon dominating the global box office, live-action adaptations are certainly basking in the glow of their overwhelming success. Disney is set to keep the ball rolling, as a sequel to the reimagined take on the 2002 animated classic is officially in the works. The project was announced on 26 June, or 6/26 in American format — a clever nod to the alien's government name, Experiment 626. In a brief teaser shared on social media, the agent of chaos drives a hot-pink convertible through the studio's Burbank parking lot, shouting, 'Get ready. Here we go!' before drifting Not much else is known about Lilo & Stitch 2 , including returning or new cast members and the creative team, but its development was never in doubt. The first film, directed by Dean Fleischer Camp based on Chris Kekaniokalani Bright and Mike Van Waes' script, surpassed US$850 million worldwide after only four weekends of release, with the House of Mouse already eyeing a follow-up ahead of its opening weekend. The original animated darling was helmed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, following the titular girl, played by Maia Kealoha in the live-action, who befriends an on-the-run alien genetically engineered as a creature of destruction. Coincidentally, the duo also worked on the How to Train Your Dragon animated movies for DreamWorks, and reunited on Universal's live-action debut as executive producer and director-writer, respectively. A sequel is in development, with the likelihood of deviating from the original narrative. It's unclear how Lilo & Stitch 2 will continue the adventures of, well, Lilo and Stitch, but the pic is expected to adapt 2005's Stitch Has a Glitch , which Disney+ describes as such: 'Your favourite characters return in this heartwarming comedy about bringing friends and family together — even when they seem worlds apart. Before the other 625 experiments land in Hawaii, Stitch is living the good life; he even helps Lilo follow in the footsteps of her mother as she prepares for the big island hula contest. But when Stitch gets a glitch, their perfect world goes haywire. Now it's going to take Lilo, Nani, Jumba and a whole lotta 'ohana for them to save their funny little friend.

Disney Announces LILO & STITCH 2 and Stitch Is Just Getting Started — GeekTyrant
Stitch isn't done causing chaos, he's just getting started. Disney has officially announced a sequel to its live-action Lilo & Stitch remake, riding high on the film's massive success at the global box office. The annoncement came with a playful short teaser video that sees Stitch rolling onto the Disney lot in a hot-pink convertible yelling, 'Get ready. Here we go!' This shouldn't come as a surprise, while the film was a mediocre remake, the movie managed to pull in more than $910 million worldwide at the box office. Then you've got the billions of dollars that Disney makes off the merchandising that has been printing money for Disney for years. Even before his big-screen comeback, merchandise sales for Lilo & Stitch were through the roof. In 2024 alone, the franchise raked in $2.6 billion in consumer product sales. That's why they are going to keep this franchise rolling! Directed by Marcel the Shell with Shoes On filmmaker Dean Fleischer Camp, the first film struck a nostalgic chord with some fans while charming a new generation. The story centers on the mischievous but lovable blue alien who finds a home with a young girl named Lilo and her protective older sister Nani in Hawaii. It's that oddball blend of sci-fi chaos and heartfelt family drama that made the original 2002 film so beloved. Disney hasn't released any plot details or a release date for the sequel yet, and there's no word on whether Fleischer Camp or the original cast will return. But considering the runaway success of the first installment, expect Disney to keep this train moving fast.
