Lilo and Stitch

Storyline

“Lilo & Stitch (3D) (2025)” follows the heartwarming and chaotic tale of Lilo, a spirited Hawaiian girl being raised by her older sister Nani after the death of their parents. Lonely and misunderstood, Lilo adopts what she believes to be a dog from the shelter — but he turns out to be Experiment 626, a genetically engineered alien fugitive named Stitch. Designed for destruction, Stitch initially uses Lilo to evade capture from intergalactic agents Jumba and Pleakley. But through Lilo’s love, the meaning of family ("Ohana"), and their shared outsider status, Stitch begins to transform. Chaos, laughter, and touching moments ensue as this unlikely family forms a bond that not even the Galactic Federation can break.
