Aloha! Lilo and Stitch is the biggest movie of the year and we had a chance to speak with Lilo herself, Maia Kealoha about the film and what she hopes to see in the upcoming sequel, Lilo and Stitch 2.

On being in the biggest movie of the year:

“It feels amazing that I get to create a character that is really big for us in Hawaii. And I just love bringing characters to life and I love acting.”

It's official we are getting a Lilo and Stitch 2! And Maia has some ideas for the sequel. 

“More alien characters…maybe one superhero that can also be Lilo.”

I'm with Maia. More aliens (hello cousins!) and I think Lilo could be a superhero. What about you?

Why you need to watch Lilo and Stitch

I was a kid when the animated version of Lilo & Stitch hit theaters and I remember falling instantly in love with that blue agent of chaos and the world he lived in. Fast forward and I still feel the same. Lilo & Stitch was everything I wanted it to be. It had all the moments that make me laugh (or cry) while also adding fresh sequences that will likely earn their own spaces in your Disney movie memory bank. It's as cute, fluffy, and fun as Stitch himself while also never forgetting that this mischievous little creature helped two grieving sisters find their way forward in their new reality. Rebuilding their Ohana into something that may look a little different but is still good.
