Ahead of its wider release, set for 23 May, reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with Daniel Baptista of The Movie Podcast calling the film the "biggest surprise" of the year. "#LiloAndStitch is the BIGGEST SURPRISE of the year and easily the BEST Disney live action remake yet," he wrote on Twitter/X.

Depending on your age, you might not see Lilo and Stitch as an A-list Disney property. If you grew up in the era of Cinderella and The Jungle Book — or even Aladdin and The Lion King — it likely doesn't rank among the most famous of Disney movies.

If the first reactions to the 'Lilo & Stitch' remake are any indication, Disney may have another hit on their hands.
