'''''Lilo & Stitch''''', also marketed as '''''Disney Stitch''''' or simply '''''Stitch''''', is an American [[media franchise]] created by [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] that commenced in 2002 with the release of [[Lilo & Stitch|the animated feature film of the same name]] written and directed by [[Chris Sanders]] and [[Dean DeBlois]]. The combined critical and commercial success of the original film, which was a rarity for [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|the company's feature animation studio]] during the studio's post-[[Disney Renaissance|Renaissance]] downturn in the early 2000s, led to three [[direct-to-video]] and television [[Stitch! The Movie|sequel]] [[Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch|feature]] [[Leroy & Stitch|films]], [[The Origin of Stitch|a short film]], three [[Lilo & Stitch: The Series|animated]] [[Stitch!|television]] [[Stitch & Ai|series]], several video games, theme park attractions, comics, literature, and various merchandise.

The franchise, primarily the original 2002–2006 animated continuity, mainly focuses on the adventures of the titular [[eccentricity (behavior)|eccentric]] and [[mischief|mischievous]] duo: an orphaned [[Native Hawaiians|Hawaii]]an girl named [[List of Lilo & Stitch characters#Lilo Pelekai|Lilo Pelekai]] and an artificial [[extraterrestrials in fiction|extraterrestrial creature]] originally named Experiment 626, whom she adopts and names [[Stitch (Lilo & Stitch)|Stitch]]. Stitch was created via [[genetic engineering]] by alien [[mad scientist]] [[List of Lilo & Stitch characters#Jumba Jookiba|Dr. Jumba Jookiba]] to cause chaos and destruction across the galaxy but was rehabilitated by Lilo thanks to ''[[ohana|ʻohana]]'', the Hawaiian concept of [[extended family]]. The duo's ''ʻohana'' mainly consist of themselves; Lilo's older sister and legal guardian, [[List of Lilo & Stitch characters#Nani Pelekai|Nani Pelekai]]; Jumba; and Jumba's Earth-loving partner, [[List of Lilo & Stitch characters#Pleakley|Agent Wendy Pleakley]]. Most of the sequel and spin-off material of the franchise also involves many [[List of Lilo & Stitch characters#Jumba's genetic experiments (Stitch's cousins)|genetic experiments]] similar to Stitch, whom he treats as his "cousins", [[List of Lilo & Stitch characters#Gantu|Captain Gantu]], a giant militaristic alien from the original film who becomes an antagonist to the main ''ʻohana'' in later works, and [[List of Lilo & Stitch characters#Dr. Hämsterviel|Dr. Jacques von Hämsterviel]], Jumba's diminutive former partner-in-crime who desires the experiments he funded the creation of to use them for intergalactic domination. Additionally, the franchise's films and first television series [[Cultural depictions of Elvis Presley#Films|make frequent references to]] American musician [[Elvis Presley]], using his music and sometimes his imagery in the films.

The later spin-off material released from 2008 through 2020—the Japanese anime ''[[Stitch!]]'', the Chinese animated series ''[[Stitch & Ai]]'', and the Japanese manga ''Stitch & the Samurai''—emphasize Stitch by separating him from Lilo and putting him into other regions of Earth (primarily in the countries where these works are produced), replacing her with different humans who take him, along with Jumba and Pleakley, in with their families. The original Japanese version of the anime was produced by an entirely different crew from the original franchise, while the Chinese series was partially produced by American animators; crew members from ''Lilo & Stitch: The Series'' worked on both shows, although the anime only involved them in the international edit (which includes the English dub). The two Asian series replace the original voice cast of the four films and the first TV series. Later spin-offs beginning from 2022, including the children's detective book series ''Agent Stitch'' and a ''Lilo & Stitch'' comic book series that began in 2024, resumed Lilo's involvement as a main character and Stitch's best friend but continued the post-''Leroy'' trend of the alien and his extended family going on adventures in places outside Hawaii. Both of them also serve as continuations after only the original film rather than continuations after ''Leroy & Stitch''.

[[Lilo & Stitch (2025 film)|A live-action/CGI adaptation]] of the original film is set for a 2025 release.

=== Main continuity ===
==== ''Lilo & Stitch'' (2002) ====

{{main|Lilo & Stitch}}
An [[Extraterrestrials in fiction|extraterrestrial]] [[mad scientist]] named Dr. [[Jumba Jookiba]] (voiced by [[David Ogden Stiers]]) is put on trial for illegally creating creatures to cause chaos and destruction. His latest experiment is [[Stitch (Lilo & Stitch)|Experiment 626]] ([[Chris Sanders]]): a little blue alien with four arms, two legs, and antennae who is deceptively strong and indestructible. 626 (pronounced "six-two-six") is sentenced to exile, while Jumba himself is jailed. However, 626 escapes custody, steals a police cruiser ship, and heads to the planet Earth. Jumba gets sent on a mission to retrieve his creation along with a partner on board, self-proclaimed Earth expert [[Agent Pleakley]] ([[Kevin McDonald]]), who is forced to go along to keep an eye on him.

Masquerading as a dog, 626 is adopted by a little girl named [[Lilo Pelekai]] ([[Daveigh Chase]]) who is living with her 19-year-old sister [[Nani Pelekai|Nani]] ([[Tia Carrere]]). Lilo is lonely and a bit of an outcast until she finds a new friend in 626 whom she names "Stitch".

==== ''Stitch! The Movie'' (2003) ====
{{main|Stitch! The Movie}}
Ex-Captain [[Gantu]] ([[Kevin Michael Richardson]]) is hired by the evil [[Dr. Hämsterviel]] ([[Jeff Bennett]]) to retrieve the remaining 625 experiments. Meanwhile, on Earth, Stitch is still not fitting in, but when trouble comes calling through the form of [[Sparky (Lilo & Stitch)|Experiment 221]] ([[Frank Welker]]), he and Lilo must band together to stop his electrical rampage. Meanwhile, Gantu ends up with a new ally, [[Reuben (Lilo & Stitch)|Experiment 625]] ([[Rob Paulsen]]), but is displeased by his lazy behavior and love of [[sandwich]]es.

==== ''Lilo & Stitch: The Series'' (2003–2006) ====
{{main|Lilo & Stitch: The Series}}
Continuing where ''[[Stitch! The Movie]]'' left off, Lilo and Stitch are given the task of collecting the rest of Jumba's missing experiments, changing them from bad to good, and finding the one place where they truly belong. Meanwhile, the former Captain Gantu and his reluctant partner, Experiment 625, try to capture the experiments for the imprisoned Dr. Hämsterviel.

Running for a total of 65 episodes over two seasons, ''The Series'' ended with the television film ''[[Leroy & Stitch]]''.

==== ''Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch'' (2005) ====
{{main|Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch}}
Set at a time between the original film and ''Stitch! The Movie'', Lilo (voiced by [[Dakota Fanning]] in this film) and her classmates are preparing for a [[hula]] competition where the winner gets to perform at the local [[May Day#Americas|May Day]] festival. Each student is required to create an original dance. While preparing for the competition, Stitch's past comes back to haunt him. It seems that after Stitch was created, Jumba did not get a chance to fully charge Stitch's molecules before they were both arrested. At first, this glitch causes Stitch to revert to his old destructive programming, but it will ultimately destroy him if Jumba cannot create a charging pod before Stitch's energy runs out.

===== ''The Origin of Stitch'' (2005) =====
{{main|Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch#The Origin of Stitch short film|l1=The Origin of Stitch}}
In this short film included on the ''Lilo & Stitch 2'' DVD, serving as a bridge between it and ''Stitch! The Movie'', Stitch discovers Jumba's computer and is scared to find out what a monster he is, only for Jumba to come and explain how he found family and love when he met Lilo. The other experiments are also hinted at.

==== ''Leroy & Stitch'' (2006) ====
{{main|Leroy & Stitch}}
After three years, their mission to capture all 624 experiments and repurpose them on Earth has been completed, so Lilo and her family are honored as heroes by the Galactic Alliance. Despite originally turning down their new offered positions to stay with Lilo, Stitch and the crew separate to live out their ambitions. However, after Gantu frees Hämsterviel from his prison, they create a new experiment of their own, [[Leroy (Lilo & Stitch)|Leroy]] (Chris Sanders). Lilo and Stitch must reunite and unite every single experiment they have to fight Leroy and his army of duplicated clones.

==== ''Stitch!'' (2008–2011, 2012, 2015) ====
{{main|Stitch!}}

The anime series features a Japanese girl named Yuna Kamihara (voiced by [[Eden Riegel]] in the English dub) in place of Lilo and is set on a fictional island off the shore of [[Okinawa Island|Okinawa]] instead of Hawaii. The first two seasons were animated and co-produced by the Japanese animation house [[Madhouse (company)|Madhouse]],<ref name="intbusness">{{cite news|title=Disney seals Japan anime and "Lilo and Stitch" deal|work=International Business Times|date=March 6, 2008}}</ref><ref name="ap1">[https://web.archive.org/web/20080403060741/http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5hnULEhW5mU8ZBork014LPKxW8VvQ Disney says to produce Anime 'made in Japan'] (March 8, 2008)</ref><ref name="intht1">{{cite news|title=Disney plans Japan animation effort|work=International Herald Tribune|date=March 6, 2008}}</ref> while the third season and two post-series television specials were animated by [[Shin-Ei Animation]]. 86 episodes (including three specials) aired from 2008 to 2011, while two post-series specials aired in 2012 and 2015.

Set years after the events of ''Leroy & Stitch'', the anime sees Stitch (now voiced by [[Benjamin Diskin|Ben Diskin]]) having left Lilo after she went to college. He ends up on the fictitious Izayoi Island where he meets Yuna, a tomboyish girl who lives with her grandmother ([[Gwendoline Yeo]]) and practices [[karate]]. Stitch befriends Yuna, Jumba (''Lilo & Stitch: The Series'' screenwriter and executive producer [[Jess Winfield]]) and Pleakley ([[Ted Biaselli]]) later rejoin Stitch, and the three aliens move in with Yuna's family. In the first two seasons, Stitch tries to do 43 good deeds to appease the Chitama Spiritual Stone, a magical stone that can grant wishes, with Stitch wanting to become the strongest being in the universe. He and Yuna also meet various [[yōkai]], with them befriending [[Kijimuna]]a ([[Colleen O'Shaughnessey]]), a little yōkai with long red hair who has a powerful sneeze. Meanwhile, Hämsterviel ([[Kirk Thornton]]), who is at large along with Gantu ([[Keith Silverstein]]) and Experiment 625/Reuben ([[Dave Wittenberg]]), wants to defeat Stitch and take his good deeds to gain ultimate power.

The first season sees Stitch doing good deeds while enjoying his new life with Yuna on Izayoi, with them befriending various yōkai. Three of Stitch and Reuben's fellow experiments also make appearances, namely Experiment 221/Sparky, Experiment 010/Felix (both [[Steve Blum]]), and [[List of Lilo & Stitch characters#Angel (X-624)|Experiment 624/Angel]] ([[Kate Higgins]]), the last of whom becomes a more recurring character compared to ''Lilo & Stitch: The Series'' and has—since her last Western appearance in ''Leroy & Stitch''—remained Stitch's girlfriend while also having become a popular singing sensation in the years since.

The second season, titled ''Stitch! ~The Mischievous Alien's Great Adventure~'', sees Stitch continuing to live his life with Yuna and completing his goal of doing good deeds for his wish to be granted. More characters join the cast during this season, including BooGoo (Blum), a purple insect-like alien who becomes the aliens' new pet, Sasha ([[Melissa Fahn]]), a transfer student who becomes Yuna's newest friend, and Tigerlily Sakai ([[Laura Bailey]]), Yuna's beautiful but mean cousin who bullies her and Stitch. Additionally, more experiments, both originating from ''Lilo & Stitch: The Series'' and newly introduced to the franchise, appear from this season onward, with most of them now inexplicably under Hämsterviel's possession. By the end of this season, however, Stitch loses his motivation to have his wish granted, deciding that living with Yuna is better than being the strongest in the universe.

In the third season, titled ''Stitch! ~Best Friends Forever~'', Yuna, Stitch, Tigerlily, Jumba, Pleakley, and BooGoo move to a city called Okinawa New Town. Meanwhile, Hämsterviel partners with an evil alien woman named Delia ([[Mary Elizabeth McGlynn]]), who desires to retrieve a power cell within Stitch, eventually making a powerful experiment of her own—Dark End ([[Roger Craig Smith]])—to do so. Lilo (Yeo) also returns in one episode of this season for a brief reunion with Stitch.

==== ''Stitch & Ai'' (2017) ====
{{main|Stitch & Ai}}

Taking place in [[Huangshan]] in Anhui, this 13-episode Chinese animated series stars Stitch (voiced by Ben Diskin in the English version, reprising his anime role) and a local girl named Wang Ai Ling ([[Erica Mendez]]).

Set after ''Leroy & Stitch'' but on a separate timeline from the ''Stitch!'' anime, the Chinese series shows Stitch having been captured by a warring alien faction called the Jaboodies who wants to use him as their own destructive genetic experiment, but he escapes when a rival faction also wanting him, the Woolagongs, attacks the ship he was held in. Ending up in the Huangshan mountains, Stitch meets Ai, a spirited girl whose aunt Daiyu ([[Laura Post]]) wants to move Ai from her sister Jiejie (Post) and their mountain home to a city. Stitch joins Ai's family as her new "dog", with Jumba (Jess Winfield, also reprising his role from the anime) and Pleakley ([[Lucien Dodge]]) also joining them after initially being sent to rescue Stitch. Stitch helps Ai stay in the mountains and she helps him ward off the Jaboodies and the Woolagongs, both of whom desire to make use of a secret metamorphosis ability Jumba programmed in Stitch that turns the experiment into a destructive giant.
