Critical Assessment
Lilo & Stitch holds a 6.7/10 on IMDb (93,833 votes), a 53/100 on Metacritic, and a 72% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes — a solid but not universally acclaimed reception typical of Disney's live-action remake cycle.
“Kealoha is a genuine find, anchoring the film's emotional core.” — The Hollywood Reporter “Charming enough, though it can't quite recapture the original's magic.” — Rolling Stone
The gap between the strong box office ($423.8M) and middling Metacritic score (53) reflects a familiar pattern for Disney's live-action remakes — nostalgia-driven ticket sales outpacing genuine critical enthusiasm.
