New York PostJohnny OleksinskiMay 20, 2025
What was great fun before is mostly mopey and depressing now. A hunk, a hunk of burning IP. Read full review

The A.V. ClubJacob OllerMay 20, 2025
If repetition is the only goal, Lilo & Stitch paints by the numbers. But the Disney Channel Original aesthetic and a handful of wrongheaded decisions make this film just the latest in a string of soulless, cut-rate copies. Read full review

The two human leads, Nani and Lilo, don’t have nearly enough charm to make up for the deficiencies around them, which leaves the entire movie essentially in Stitch’s claws. Yet even his demented-toddler-on-three-espressos energy isn’t funny, perhaps because the digital animation is so dismal. Read full review
