Early viewers of the new live-action Lilo & Stitch film have praised the “heartfelt” movie and dubbed the remake of the 2002 cartoon the “best Disney live-action” yet. Out in cinemas next month, Lilo & Stitch stars Maia Kealoha as Lilo, Sydney Agudong as her sister Nani, with Chris Sanders reprising his voice role as Stitch.

If the first reactions to the 'Lilo & Stitch' remake are any indication, Disney may have another hit on their hands.

Maia Kealoha chats with Access Hollywood’s guest correspondent Lauren Herbert about landing the role as Lilo in Disney's live-action remake of “Lilo & Stitch.” The 8-year-old opens up about wanting to share her “light” with the world and explains how she relates to the original animated character.
