Upon release, the film met with mixed critical reviews. Despite that, it ended up minting $1.025 billion at the box office. In a Deadline interview, the film's director, Dean Fleischer Camp, spoke about the film's theme of an imperfect family. He said,
"I think that was one of the things that we talked about, thematically modernizing and updating for this live-action version was broadening the idea of Ohana and complicating it with a little more nuance. It just felt like the right thing to do. Given that Nani, who I always felt was a little too rose-colored glasses for somebody in her situation, was so smart and has had to abandon a lot of these dreams or defer them because she had to take care of her little sister and inherited all this responsibility at such a young age."
Lilo & Stitch will start streaming on Disney+ on September 3, 2025.
