Every part of this film provided that same sense of ohana and warmness I felt as a kid, if not more.

It’s a rare live-action remake that captures the magic of its predecessor while carving its own path.

This new Lilo is about 78 percent as good as the original, putting it in the Just Fine bucket.

Full Review | Jul 25, 2025

Lilo & Stitch (2025) isn’t as good as the original. It’s shaggier and messier, and feels redundant. Why does it exist, if not to add anything to what came before? It’s lesser than the sum of its parts. Despite this, though, Stitch still endures.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 23, 2025

Do we NEED these live-action remakes? No, but Lilo & Stitch is far from the worst of the lot, and while it’s not exactly reinventing the wheel, it is sweet and fun and entertaining.

If you're not too fussed about comparisons or canon, this live-action outing offers a sweet, if flawed, slice of family-friendly escapism.

It manages to preserve not only the essence of the film, but also most of the frames, faithfully capturing each scene and maintaining the soundtrack. But it also adds a few details that make it fresher and more contemporary. [Full Review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 16, 2025

A fun adaptation, but nowhere as good as the original cartoon.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Jun 27, 2025

It's easy - and occasionally appropriate - to be cynical about remakes. But this 2025 Lilo & Stitch stays true to the original, while bringing its own personality and strengths.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 24, 2025

While in a vacuum, Lilo & Stitch is far from being the worst live-action remake, there is still no logical argument that could make for recommending someone spend their time or money seeking the film out.

Caught between some really bizarre changes and being too sacred about things that can change, Dean Fleischer Camp manages to squeeze in a few genuine moments of humanity, but they're few and far between.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 18, 2025

In theory, I should be pro-change... except that Lilo & Stitch doesn’t really commit to its big alterations.

This enjoyable, fast-paced, family-friendly gem is for all to enjoy; that probably explains why the girls seated next to me were in their early 20s.’

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 15, 2025

Overall, this is expertly executed, cross-generational fun that combines the look of a lavish Disney production with oodles of oddball charm.

Disney's new Lilo & Stitch didn't understand the assignment when it comes to serving.

Full Review | Jun 10, 2025

This is a very, very good children’s movie, retaining all that was so endearing about the 2002 original – a kooky cartoon classic in its day – particularly when it comes to the special bond shared by the title characters.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 10, 2025

Stitch rocks, and there are some genuinely charming moments. The script makes a few unnecessary changes that make certain integral moments feel less earned, but it does just enough to stay out of that lazy territory we’ve seen from other remakes.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 9, 2025

Lilo & Stitch (2025) is an empty husk that will leave the brains of those who watch it immediately after the fact.

Full Review | Original Score: D+ | Jun 9, 2025

2025’s Lilo & Stitch grasps the heart of the source material better than any live-action remake in the Disney catalog, sharing a moving, hilarious, and chaotic story of love, acceptance, and most of all, “Ohana.”

Full Review | Jun 7, 2025

Whilst it’s difficult to justify remaking a bonafide classic animation, the fact remains that Lilo & Stitch is an incredibly fun film that has had families pouring into cinemas. Did this need to be made? Probably not – but it’s hard to not enjoy it.
