'Lilo & Stitch' releases on digital VOD: Where to watch
"Lilo & Stitch" are coming home. The live-action reimagining of Disney's beloved animated classic officially made its way onto select digital platforms on July 22, a couple months after the film premiered in U.S. theaters. "(Lilo & Stitch) brings new energy into the hilarious and heart-warming tale of Lilo and her cute-yet-chaotic adopted 'pet' Stitch," Disney said in a statement. "Lush tropical settings provide welcoming visuals as warm as the 'found family' that Lilo and Stitch create together, while also authentically honoring the cultures and beauty of Hawai'i." The remake has proved to be a profitable venture for Disney, grossing approximately $1 billion (and counting) at the global box office. Given its significant commercial success, it should come as no surprise that a sequel is "currently in development," according to Disney. USA TODAY's Brian Truitt gave the film ★★½ out of four, writing that "Director Dean Fleischer Camp's family adventure feels like an excessively earnest Disney Channel movie compared with the delightfully unhinged 2002 cartoon." "That's great for those who want more of a human connection but not so much if you're more jazzed about Stitch wrecking a bunch of stuff," Truitt adds. Here's what to know about the "Lilo & Stitch" digital release, including when it will be available to stream. Where to watch 'Lilo & Stitch' at home The new "Lilo & Stitch" is now available to rent or purchase on video on-demand (VOD) platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home.

A streaming release date has not yet been announced for "Lilo & Stitch." Based on the timeframe surrounding past Disney streaming releases, including "Moana 2" and "Mufasa: The Lion King," the film could be released on Disney+ in late August or early September. USA TODAY review: New 'Lilo & Stitch' falls short of first film's unhinged brilliance 'Lilo & Stitch' deleted scenes, bloopers According to Disney, the "Lilo & Stitch" digital and Blu-ray releases include bonus features, like deleted scenes, bloopers and more behind-the-scenes packages.

The movie hit the big screens on May 23 and went on to overshadow Snow White's poor performance at the box office for Disney. What is Lilo & Stitch about? Lilo & Stitch is the remake of the 2002 animated film of the same name. The story of the movie follows a blue alien, Stitch, who crashes onto the Earth and gets adopted by a young girl named Lilo. The former is taken care of by the Hawaiian native and her elder sister, Nani. As for the plot, the official synopsis of the film reads, '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.' Sharing the insight of the film, the director, previously in conversation with Disney, revealed, 'We tried to adapt it in a way that paid loving tribute to the original but wasn't a one-to-one literal translation.' He further added, 'We were very clear-eyed about the fact that animation and live action are two completely different mediums; there are things you can do well in live action that you can't in animation, and vice versa.' Meanwhile, for the fans who want to stream Lilo & Stitch on OTT, they can also pre-purchase the movie and enjoy the cinematic piece on either streaming platforms or YouTube.
