Your favorite blue alien is beaming right into your living room! That's right folks, Disney’s live-action revamp of the beloved 2002 animation, “Lilo & Stitch,” is ready to catapult itself onto your home screens via PVOD from July 22. Strap yourself in for a feel-good experience, filled with unusual shenanigans, as this extraterrestrial escapade goes live on various platforms including Apple TV and Amazon Prime.

This feel-good flick takes us on a journey with Stitch (with the delightful voice stylings of Chris Sanders) - a boisterous blue alien that crash-lands on Planet Earth, and Lilo (brought to life by Maia Kealoha) - a quirky Hawaiian youngster who brings Stitch into her world. Joined through a shared admiration for The King, Elvis, and some eccentric antics, they form a bond that explores the depths of family - or as the locals call it, 'Ohana'.

Starting July 22, you can bring “Lilo & Stitch” home either by renting or purchasing through Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Fandango at Home, and YouTube. And hey, Disney die-hards, you can pre-order the film on Amazon for just $29.99. But the fun doesn't stop there; home viewing enthusiasts can also grab this family-favorite in K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD formats come August 26. Keen to stream on Disney+ too? Just keep your eyes peeled, it's expected out on the platform later this year, following its run on PVOD.

Prepare for a Blast of Bedtime Stories: \

Helmed by Dean Fleischer Camp, “Lilo & Stitch” wowed the cinemas on its May 23 release date, raking in an impressive $146,016,175 in its opening weekend alone. The film even outpaced "Mission Impossible-The Final Reckoning," a fellow newcomer that weekend. Ultimately, “Lilo & Stitch” zoomed past $1 billion at the global box office, claiming the honor as the first flick of 2025 to hit that mile-high figure. Plus, compared to Disney's previous live-action adaptation, "Snow White," which drew some less-than-fairytale reviews in March, “Lilo & Stitch” was a box office bobby dazzler.

“Will audiences connect with the film?" mused Variety film critic Peter DeBruge. "'Lilo & Stitch' arguably has the upper hand through its emotionally rich storyline crafted by Sanders and DeBlois. The cherry on top for this remake? The slightly extended perspective on family relationships, thanks to tweaks by Chris Kekaniokalani Bright and Mike Van Waes,” he added.

Permission to snuggle up for some superlative screen time? Granted. So grab your popcorn, get cozy, and get ready to rent or purchase "Lilo & Stitch" on Amazon starting today!
