When Disney's live-action remake of the 2002 animated masterpiece "Lilo & Stitch" crash-landed into theaters this past summer, millions of families learned the meaning of "Ohana means family." Translating the original film's watercolor backdrops to the real islands of Hawai'i, "Lilo & Stitch" opened on Memorial Day weekend to a gargantuan $145 million haul and eventually cleared the $1 billion mark that every big budget blockbuster dreams of. That's a nice chunk of change for a film that was intended to be released directly onto Disney+, where it's impossible it could have generated that same amount of profit in new subscribers.

So if you are one of the only people in the universe who didn't see "Lilo & Stitch" in theaters and you're curious to see how the remake remains faithful to the original and where it diverts from the animated film to tell its own story, you'll soon be able to welcome Stitch into your home.

Then, on August 26, the film will be released on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD, along with a shiny exclusive SteelBook that can barely contain Stitch's rambunctious attitude. The film's original soundtrack, featuring new music by Hawaiian musicians like Iam Tongi, Mark Kealiʻi Hoʻomalu, Nyjah Music & Zyah Rhythm and the original score by Dan Romer, is also available to stream now on Amazon, Spotify, and Apple Music.
