When will 'Lilo & Stitch' release on streaming? What we know
"Lilo & Stitch" hasn't hit Disney+ yet, but it could soon.
The live-action reimagining of Disney's beloved animated classic made a big splash at the worldwide box office after its release in late May, bringing in more than $300 million in its opening weekend.
The "wildly funny and touching story," based on the 2002 original movie of the same name, follows the story of a "lonely Hawaiian girl [Lilo] and the fugitive alien [Stitch] who helps to mend her broken family."
