Just like in the 2002 animated movie, Stitch was an "experiment" scientifically engineered to create chaos and destruction. And that "star" Lilo saw in the sky? It was actually a police cruiser Stitch stole to escape the spaceship where his captors now frantically search for him.

Disney fans have been left unexpectedly optimistic about the forthcoming Lilo & Stitch live-action remake after the official trailer landed yesterday. The film, adapted from Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois’s 2002 cartoon, will star Maia Kealoha as Lilo, Sydney Agudong as her sister Nani, with Chris Sanders reprising his voice role as Sitch.
