San Diego, CA–Walt Disney Studios’ popular live-action family adventure “Lilo & Stitch” lands at San Diego Comic-Con International at the San Diego Convention Center this month.
Disney’s Lilo & Stitch Activation: A Taste of Paradise in San Diego will treat fans with interactive experiences – from photo ops to behind-the-scenes moments with the talented cast and creators who brought this beloved story to life in the new live-action blockbuster series.
Join cast and creatives including Chris Sanders (creator, writer, and original voice of Stitch), Maia Kealoha (Lilo in the new film), Tia Carrere (original voice of Nani, now playing Mrs. Kekoa), and Sydney Agudong (Nani in the live-action film) as they revisit the franchise’s enduring legacy and offer a closer look at the new movie. The film is currently the number one movie of the year at the global box office.
The Disney Lilo & Stitch Panel: A Look Inside the Continuing Phenomenon will be presented on July 25 from 3:15 to 4:15pm in Room 6BCF in the San Diego Convention Center.
Attendees without official Comic-Con badges can still enjoy the “Lilo & Stitch” family-friendly activation, featuring island-themed photo ops and complimentary shaved ice served daily. The activation will take place on Gaslamp Diagonal, adjacent to the Omni Hotel at the end of Sixth Avenue, from July 24 through July 27. Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, with an early closure at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
The original animated classic “Lilo & Stitch” has grown into a global entertainment franchise, expanding far beyond its 2002 debut. The beloved tale has since inspired a 65-episode television series, three direct-to-video sequels, a 26-episode anime adaptation in Japan, numerous video games, theme park attractions, comics, books, and a Platinum-certified soundtrack album. Most recently, the franchise is being reimagined once again with a live-action film currently in development.
