how many lilo and stitch movies are there
There are 5 main Lilo & Stitch movies, plus 1 major live‑action remake, for a total of 6 widely recognized films in the franchise.
Quick Scoop
If you mean the core, full‑length movies most fans talk about, these are:
- Lilo & Stitch (2002)
- Stitch! The Movie (2003)
- Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch (2005)
- Leroy & Stitch (2006)
- Lilo & Stitch (live‑action/CGI remake, 2025)
That gives you 5 animated features in the original style (4 direct‑to‑video/TV plus the theatrical original) and then the 2025 live‑action version as the sixth film.
What about shorts and specials?
There are also a few extras that some lists include but most people don’t count as “main movies”:
- The Origin of Stitch – short film from 2005 (DVD bonus).
- Anime and Chinese spin‑offs with specials (Stitch! and its TV specials, plus Stitch & Ai) that expand the universe but are more like series and TV specials than core films.
So, if someone asks “how many Lilo and Stitch movies are there,” a clear answer is:
- 5 core animated movies (counting all the original‑style feature‑length stories).
- 6 total if you include the 2025 live‑action remake.
