The live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch has finally hit the theaters, and I find myself torn about whether to see it. On one hand, it received a commendable 8 out of 10 in our review, suggesting it's worth watching. On the other, I'm hesitant to risk tarnishing my affection for the beloved original. If you're considering catching this Disney live-action in theaters, you have plenty of options. It's currently showing in both standard and IMAX formats this weekend.
For those preferring to wait for a digital release, patience will be key. While the exact date isn't set, other Disney live-action remakes have typically become available digitally between 45 and 65 days post-theatrical release. The recent Snow White remake, for example, was available digitally less than two months after its premiere. Depending on its box office performance, Lilo & Stitch might be accessible digitally in July or August. Disney's confidence in the film, evidenced by discussions of potential sequels, suggests a promising theatrical run. If streaming on Disney+ is more your speed, you might have to wait until late August or early September, as new Disney releases usually hit the platform around 100 days after their theater debut.
In the meantime, you can revisit the original animated Lilo & Stitch on Disney+. If you're not a subscriber, you can rent or buy it on Prime Video at a reasonable price. For collectors, a newly released 4K edition of the original movie is available and has been well-received. It's a great addition to any Disney enthusiast's collection.

Based on previous Disney releases, it could take between 45 and 65 days before it's available digitally. The Snow White remake, for instance, was available digitally within two months of its theatrical release. If Lilo & Stitch performs well, you might be able to watch it digitally in July or August. Disney's confidence in the film's potential sequels hints at a successful run.
