Lilo & Stitch Movies: Release Order
The Lilo & Stitch franchise began as a heartwarming story about an unlikely family formed between a Hawaiian girl and an escaped alien experiment. This watch order includes all feature films in the franchise, although it's important to note the complexities involved.
Stitch! The Movie is meant as a pilot for the television series, while Leroy & Stitch concludes that same TV series after 65 episodes. These films introduce and resolve storylines involving hundreds of alien experiments, but without watching the intervening television series, much of their significance and character development will be lost.
The 2025 live-action film is a standalone reboot that reimagines the original story and isn't directly connected to any of the previous entries.
There is 1 other watch order available – see the link up above.
