The live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch has officially hit theaters, leaving me torn about whether to watch it. While the film earned an impressive 8/10 in our review, I'm hesitant to risk tarnishing my fond memories of the original. If you're planning to see Disney's latest live-action adaptation, you'll find it screening in both standard and IMAX formats this weekend.
For those preferring to wait for digital release, patience will be key. In the meantime, the original animated classic remains available on Disney+ - something I'll definitely be revisiting.

Viewing Formats Available
Beyond standard showings, the film is screening in IMAX, 3D and limited 4DX formats. Visit Fandango's listings to check availability for premium formats in your area.
Digital Release Timeline
Theaters won't be your only viewing option for long. Based on Disney's recent remake patterns, the digital version should arrive within 45-65 days. If performances meet expectations, Lilo & Stitch could hit digital platforms by late summer. Disney's confidence in the project is evident - sequel discussions are already underway.
Disney+ subscribers should expect a longer wait, typically around 100 days post-theatrical release. Looking at previous summer releases, streaming availability will likely begin in late August or early September.
Enjoying The Original Classic
The beloved 2002 animated version remains available on Disney+. Non-subscribers can rent or purchase it affordably through Prime Video.
Collectors should note the recently released 4K edition of the original film, which has become a fan favorite this year. It makes an excellent addition to any Disney home collection.
