Disney fans are outraged that one key character from the original “Lilo & Stitch” film was cut from this year’s live-action remake. Captain Gantu, the villain of the 2002 animated flick, was noticeably absent from the new version that hit theaters on Friday, May 23.

LILO & STITCH actress, 8-year-old Maia Kealoha, is sharing all of her favorite moments from the new live-action movie.

Disney's "Lilo & Stitch'' scored the biggest Memorial Day opening of all time, hauling in $183 million over the four-day weekend to lap Tom Cruise's eighth and final "Mission Impossible'' film, according to updated industry estimates released today.

Disney's live-action Lilo and Stitch remake and Tom Cruise's supposedly final Mission: Impossible outing have opened as two of the biggest films of the year in a record-breaking weekend at the box office. Lilo and Stitch, which revisits the 2002 animated family favourite, exceeded expectations with takings of $341m (£252m) around the world.
