Exciting news for fans of Disney’s beloved alien family! Dean Fleischer Camp’s blockbuster hit Lilo & Stitch has officially received the green light for a sequel. Mark your calendars because June 26 is now celebrated as an unofficial Stitch holiday, stemming from his experiment code 626, making this announcement perfectly timed.
Originally released with a modest production budget of $100 million, the first Lilo & Stitch soared to financial success, grossing an impressive $920 million globally. The film not only captivated audiences with its charming story of found family and alien adventures but also sparked discussions and controversies, cementing Stitch as a lasting merchandising icon for Disney.
