"New Lilo & Stitch Trailer Unveils Live-Action Lilo, Cobra Bubbles, Pleakley"

The much-anticipated official trailer for the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch has finally dropped, offering fans an exciting glimpse into the new versions of beloved characters. Maia Kealoha steps into the iconic role of Lilo, originally portrayed by Daveigh Chase in the 2002 animated classic, bringing her unique interpretation to the character. The trailer showcases Kealoha's performance, highlighting her connection to the role that has captivated audiences for over two decades.

Alongside Kealoha, the trailer introduces us to Courtney B. Vance as the stern yet endearing Cobra Bubbles, and Billy Magnussen as the quirky Pleakley. Fans of the original will be thrilled to see these characters come to life in new ways. Notably, the trailer reveals an intriguing plot twist where Jumba, played by Zach Galifianakis, and Pleakley appear disguised as humans, adding a fresh layer to their Earth adventures. A brief glimpse of Pleakley in his alien form keeps the essence of the original intact.

The trailer also recreates some of the most memorable scenes from the animated film, including Stitch's dramatic entrance as a falling star, his attempt to blend in at the animal shelter by resembling a dog, and the heartwarming moment when Lilo explains the meaning of "Ohana," stating, "Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten."

Lilo & Stitch is set to hit theaters on May 23, 2025, following closely on the heels of another beloved Disney remake, Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs, scheduled for release on March 21, 2025.
