Plot of Lilo & Stitch (2025)

Lilo & Stitch opens with Dr. Jumba, an intelligent but clever scientist, who creates Experiment 626 (later named Stitch), an intelligent, strong, and destructive creature by nature. Jumba is imprisoned by the United Galactic Federation, which also deems Stitch to be too dangerous. Stealing a police cruiser, Stitch crashes on Kauaʻi, Hawaii, after escaping to Earth.

Lilo, a six-year-old who has recently lost her parents, is struggling at home and at school. She lives with her older sister, Nani. Social services are watching them because they believe that Nani may not be able to care for Lilo on her own. Lilo adopts Stitch after he is classified as a "dog" at an animal shelter, and the two quickly become close after she names him Stitch.

Jumba and Pleakley, the extraterrestrial specialist on Earth, arrive in the meantime to capture Stitch. They begin their search by disguising themselves as humans and attempt to break the link between Stitch and Lilo. When Jumba tries to take away Stitch, Lilo secretly boards Jumba's ship to save Stitch, and Stitch almost drowns while rescuing Lilo as the ship falls into the sea.

After being motionless for some time, Stitch is brought back to life by Nani and a family friend named David. Because of his devotion to Lilo, the Galactic Federation allows Stitch and his new family to remain on Earth. During the conclusion, Lilo, Nani, Stitch, Jumba, Pleakley, David, and their neighbours have fixed up the Pelekai house and built a new, loving family in Hawaii.
