LILO & STITCH (2025) Out Of Theater REACTION!!

OHANA MEANS...Live Action Remake?! Lilo & Stitch Movie Review!

Now that Disney’s Lilo & Stitch live-action remake is finally here, Greg Alba shares his out-of-theater reaction after seeing the movie with fresh eyes—having barely remembered the original. From the emotional heart between Lilo (Maia Kealoha) and Nani (Sydney Agudong), to Stitch’s surprisingly well-done CGI transformation, this review dives into the film’s strengths and weaknesses. We talk the chaotic pacing, inconsistent tone, grounded casting, Hawaii setting, and heartfelt themes of family and belonging. Zach Galifianakis (Jumba), Billy Magnussen (Pleakley), and Jason Scott Lee all bring distinct energy to this messy-yet-sincere reimagining, while Courtney B. Vance’s Cobra Bubbles sadly gets sidelined. Greg discusses the nostalgia factor (or lack thereof), what worked in the emotional beats, and why Stitch might be one of Disney’s best-looking CG characters ever. If you're looking for a Lilo & Stitch live-action movie review, reaction, or breakdown of the cast and characters—whether you're a diehard fan or going in blind—this is the one for you. Featuring thoughts on the original animated Lilo & Stitch (2002), how this compares to Mufasa: The Lion King, Snow White, and other recent Disney remakes, and whether it's worth seeing in theaters or waiting for Disney+.
