Stitch has become an unlikely star among Disney’s characters. The blue alien is so popular that he ranks in the top 10 bestselling Disney franchises, alongside stalwarts such as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, the princesses, Star Wars and Marvel, the company said.

Disney's original "Lilo & Stitch" is one of the most beloved animated movies this century. But is the new PG-rated remake suitable for all youngsters?

The live-action 'Lilo & Stitch' adaptation fundamentally misunderstands what made the chaotic blue alien appealing in the original.

Coming off “Marcel the Shell,” director Dean Fleischer Camp can’t find much fun or charm in Disney’s latest recycling project.

Step aside, Moana, Elsa and Simba. In recent years, Stitch has quietly become one of Disney’s most popular — and most merchandised — characters.

A talented baker has won plaudits from Disney after she created a life-size cake of Stitch to celebrate the release of the latest film. Mum-of-two Lara Mason, 39, made the large 3ft ‘interactive’ cake after seeing the excitement around the Lilo & Stitch movie trailer.

A heartbreaking sacrifice and mid-credits scene give weight to the live-action "Lilo & Stitch," which makes major changes from the Disney original.
