Walt Disney Pictures India has issued a playful warning to fans about everyone’s favorite blue alien troublemaker. In a recent Instagram post, Disney reminded followers to keep an eye on Stitch, as the lovable but chaotic character is set to return to cinema screens next month.
The post featured a brief clip from promotional material for the upcoming live-action adaptation of “Lilo & Stitch.” The caption humorously advised, “Watch my Stitch for me… he gets into trouble when I’m not looking! 👀” followed by a reminder that “#Lilo&Stitch” will be in cinemas on May 23.
The live-action remake of the beloved 2002 animated classic has been generating significant buzz among Disney fans of all ages. The original film told the heartwarming story of a young Hawaiian girl named Lilo who adopts what she believes is a dog but is actually an alien genetic experiment designated as “Experiment 626,” later named Stitch.
Last month, Disney India confirmed the countdown is officially on, posting that there was just one month to go before the film’s release on May 23. This adaptation continues Disney’s successful strategy of reimagining its animated classics for live-action. The Walt Disney Company India, which handles the regional distribution and marketing of Disney films, has been actively promoting the upcoming release across its social media channels.
The character of Stitch has maintained significant popularity since his debut over two decades ago. Known for his blue fur, extra limbs, and mischievous personality, Stitch became one of Disney’s most recognizable and marketable characters following the success of the original film.
The original animated movie showcased Stitch’s journey from destructive alien experiment to a valued family member who learns the meaning of “ohana” – the Hawaiian concept that “family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.” This emotional core, combined with humor and adventure, helped the film achieve classic status among Disney’s animated offerings.
With the May 23 release date approaching, fans across India can prepare for Stitch’s characteristic blend of chaos and charm to once again light up cinema screens – though as Disney warns, they’d better keep a close eye on him.
