Our take
Disney's live-action Lilo & Stitch keeps the heart of the animated original but adds realistic action beats. It is rated PG for action, peril, and thematic elements, including dead parents and social-services pressure on the sisters. Slapstick alien chaos stays mostly light, with one mild hell and some kisses in song lyrics
Uplifting themes
Found family, acceptance, and choosing love over fear anchor the remake Nani's sacrifice and Lilo's empathy model loyalty and resilience Hawaiian culture and ohana values are woven through the story
Story (may spoil tone)
The wildly funny and touching story of a lonely Hawaiian girl and the fugitive alien who helps to mend her broken family.

Talk after watching
- Ohana means family sticks together. Who are the people your child considers family?
- Lilo feels lonely and different. How can kids support friends who do not fit in?
