This Friday, Lilo & Stitch, the live-action reimagining of the 2002 animated classic, lands exclusively in theaters.
“Stitch is an example of what Disney actually does best,” David Greenbaum, President of Disney Live Action and 20th Century Studios, said. “An extraordinary animated film from 2002 that becomes a series that then over time creates a real fanship, which leads to us looking at the idea of creating this wonderful film that we now are bringing out to the world.”
In this video, see how Stitch’s popularity has grown since he first emerged on screen over two decades ago.
