“Lilo & Stitch” fans, get ready to relive the magic of the first film.
Disney has released the full trailer for its upcoming live-action remake of the 2002 animated classic.
The trailer shows Lilo, a Hawaiian orphan raised by her older sister, making a wish on a shooting star for a best friend.
Moments later, an explosion in the sky leads her to Stitch — a creature that is best described as part dog, part alien — who becomes Lilo’s new best friend.
Together, Lilo and Stitch bond over being outcasts who find family with each other. Things take a turn when Stitch’s creators arrive to capture him and return him to where he belongs.
