Another new poster for Lilo & Stitch has been released and it features an unexpected crossover with Moana, seemingly to coincide with the release of the movie's sequel in theaters this Thanksgiving...

When Disney+ launched, it quickly became the norm for movies to premiere on the service. Made specifically for streaming, these titles ranged from original stories (which have since taken a backseat given what a tough sell they typically are in theaters) to remakes of Disney Animation classics like Lady and the Tramp and Pinocchio.

With Moana 2 now playing, Walt Disney Studios has released another poster for the live-action Lilo & Stitch, one of several titles to make the shift from streaming to theaters in recent years.

Why do we mention that sequel? Well, on this poster, Stitch has encountered one of that franchise's Kakamora coconut-like pirates, making short work of the pint-sized warrior.

While we don't think this is necessarily indicative of what they'll look like in the live-action Moana movie set for release in 2026 (or confirmation they'll appear in Lilo & Stitch), it's still a fun crossover. The original Lilo & Stitch featured a whole heap of Easter Eggs, so this is very much on brand for Experiment 626.

Disney recently shared a teaser trailer for Lilo & Stitch which you can watch here. With the marketing campaign picking up speed like this, a full-blown trailer surely can't be too far off now. 

We recently spoke to Stitch's creator and voice actor Chris Sanders about The Wild Robot and asked for his thoughts on Stitch's continued increase in popularity. 

"Yeah, he’s become more popular than ever," the filmmaker told us. "Something I’ve been aware of now [Laughs] since the film’s release. He was huge when the film came out, but he’s everywhere now. It’s really cool."

A live-action reimagining of Disney's 2002 animated classic, Lilo & Stitch is the wildly funny and touching story of a lonely Hawaiian girl and the fugitive alien who helps to mend her broken family.

Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind the animated feature film Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, the movie stars Maia Kealoha, Sydney Elizebeth Agudong, Billy Magnussen, Tia Carrere, Hannah Waddingham, Chris Sanders, with Courtney B. Vance, and Zach Galifianakis.

Lilo & Stitch is produced by Jonathan Eirich and Dan Lin, with Tom Peitzman and Ryan Halprin serving as executive producers. The movie arrives in theaters on May 23, 2025.
