How to Watch the Live-Action Lilo & Stitch Remake: Showtimes and Streaming Details
You can even see it in IMAX and 3D.
The live-action Lilo & Stitch remake has arrived in theaters, and I'm personally very conflicted about whether or not I should see it. On the one hand, our review of the film gave it a solid 8 out of 10, but on the other hand, I don't want to ruin my love of the original film with a newer version. If you're planning on seeing this Disney live-action in theaters yourself, though, you've got options. The new movie is now being featured at both standard and IMAX theaters this weekend.
If you're hoping to catch the movie when it comes out on digital, however, you may have to wait a while. Though you can always go back and rewatch the original animated movie on Disney+ while you wait — which I plan on doing myself.

Available Formats
Alongside standard screenings, the live-action Lilo & Stitch remake is available in IMAX and 3D. You can also find some 4DX screenings, but those events will be harder to find. You can check the Fandango listings to see if there are any theaters offering those screenings near you.
When Can You Watch It at Home?
Those of you who have no intention of seeing this movie in theaters will have to wait a bit longer to watch it at home. For other Disney live-action remakes, it has generally taken somewhere between 45 and 65 days after the theatrical release to arrive on digital. The recent Snow White remake, for example, came out on digital less than two months after its initial release in theaters. Depending on how well it does in theaters, that could mean a potential July or August digital release for Lilo & Stitch. At least for now, Disney has expressed confidence in the movie, to the extent that they're already considering sequels.
If you are hoping to stream it on Disney+, the wait will likely be much longer. New Disney movies usually make it to streaming roughly 100 days after they release in theaters, but that timeframe can vary depending on timing. If past summer releases are anything to go off of, though, we can likely expect it to come to Disney+ at the end of the season sometime in late August or early September.
Where to Watch the Original Movie
If you want to watch the original Lilo & Stitch movie in all its 2D-animated glory, it is still available on Disney+. If you don't already have a Disney+ subscription, you can also rent or buy a digital copy on Prime Video for pretty cheap.
For a more permanent ownership solution, there's actually a brand-new 4K edition of the original movie that just came out earlier this year and has been very popular. I'd recommend picking it up for your Disney collection. The Lilo & Stitch remake was written by Chris Kekaniokalni Bright, Mike Van Waes, and Chris Sanders and directed by Dean Fleischer Camp. It stars the following actors:Who Is in the Live-Action Cast?
