After winning us over in 2002 with Lilo & Stitch, the eponymous duo is back this year with a live-action adaptation. And a Disney film inevitably means an arrival on Disney+ one day or another. Disney's streaming platform welcomes its feature films, so it's normal to expect Lilo & Stitch to join the long list of existing productions. But when?
Lilo & Stitch, a smash hit for the Disney live-action film
The live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch was released on May 21st. A live-action film that follows in the long line of remakes of Disney classics, to which the Hollywood giant has accustomed us year after year. Given the success of Lilo & Stitch upon its release in 2002, and its spin-offs in the years that followed, a live-action remake was easy to anticipate. An idea that hit the mark for Disney, with Lilo & Stitch having already grossed $613.5 million at the worldwide box office. Disney can therefore rest assured that audiences remain fond of live-action films, provided the films are good. Despite repeated failures, Disney seems to be breaking free of its rut. For how long? No one knows. In addition to the easily anticipated success of the live-action Lilo & Stitch, another announcement can be predicted: the arrival of Lilo & Stitch on Disney+. However, at the time of writing, Disney has not yet officially announced the arrival of the live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch. However, its arrival on Disney+ is undeniable. Although Disney has not announced the date, it can be anticipated. In the United States, it takes about 100 days after the theatrical release for an arrival on Disney+. With a film released on May 23, this places a hypothetical in the American Disney+ catalog around the end of August, beginning of September.
Here's when Lilo & Stitch should be released on Disney+
But what about France? With our media timeline modernized to give more space to streaming platforms, films now have to wait 9 months to be released on Disney+. Lilo & Stitch With Stitch being released on May 21, 2025, if Disney were to add it to Disney+ exactly 9 months after its theatrical release, the film would arrive on February 21, 2026.
This is the earliest date Disney can legally release the Lilo & Stitch remake on Disney+ France. Of course, since Disney hasn't revealed its plans in advance, nothing is set in stone. Disney could delay this arrival on Disney+ for many reasons. We'll have to wait for confirmation from the entertainment giant to know for sure.
