This 23rd May, IMF Cinemas invites you on a colourful, emotional journey with the highly anticipated release of Disney’s live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch. Beloved by generations, this heartwarming story returns to the big screen with a fresh take, bringing together live performances, stunning visuals, and the same unforgettable message about love and family.
A Tale of Friendship, Family, and Finding Your Place in the World
Set against the lush, tropical backdrop of Hawaii, the film follows Lilo, a creative and curious young girl coping with the loss of her parents. Raised by her older sister Nani, Lilo’s life is filled with challenges, but also moments of magic and resilience as they try to keep their small family together.
Everything changes when Lilo adopts what she believes is a stray dog — a strange, chaotic creature with big ears and even bigger energy. But this isn’t an ordinary pet: it’s Stitch, a genetically engineered experiment from outer space, created for one purpose only — destruction. However, Lilo’s unconditional love might just change the course of Stitch’s destiny.
Through their bond, Stitch discovers something far more powerful than his programming: the meaning of ‘ohana’ — family — a connection that can’t be broken.
Why This Live Action Version Is One to Watch
Disney has managed to retain everything that made Lilo & Stitch so special — the humour, the emotional depth, the spirited Hawaiian culture, and most of all, the profound message about chosen family. The story’s timeless themes of grief, connection, and acceptance shine even more brightly in this live-action retelling.
Alongside breathtaking CGI and immersive world-building, the film also introduces a diverse cast that brings the island community to life with authenticity and warmth. The soundtrack, always a highlight in this story, returns with a blend of Hawaiian rhythms, classic Elvis Presley hits, and new arrangements that will leave audiences smiling — and maybe shedding a tear or two.
