Lilo & Scratch is a 2026 American animated science fiction comedy short film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and directed by Fawn Veerasunthorn and Malcon Pierce. Set shortly after the events of Lilo & Stitch (2002), the short film follows Stitch (Chris Sanders) as he battles with Scratch, an alien that looks like a cat who Lilo (Maia Kealoha) adopts. It is the first work in the Lilo & Stitch franchise produced under Walt Disney Animation Studios since the original film. Lilo & Scratch is scheduled to be theatrically released on November 25, 2026 alongside Hexed, also directed by Veerasunthorn.

ProductionDuring the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 26, 2026, it was reported that a new Lilo & Stitch animated short film, Lilo & Scratch, would be attached to screenings of Disney's upcoming animated film Hexed.[2] The film marks the first theatrical short from Walt Disney Animation Studios in five years and is a direct follow up to the original Lilo & Stitch (2002).[4] Hexed director Fawn Veerasunthorn helmed the short film alongside Malcon Pierce.[3] Director of the original film and voice of Stitch, Chris Sanders returned to reprise his role. Maia Kealoha took on the role of Lilo after portraying her in the 2025 live-action film.[4] For the short film, Walt Disney Animation Studios developed a new animation pipeline that combined hand-drawn traditionally animated characters with computer-animated models seamlessly. Veerasunthorn's goal was for the film to look as close to the original 2002 film as possible while creating a workflow that allowed for artists to use a variety of tools and mediums at their disposal.[5] Alex Kupershmidt, who was the supervising animator of Stitch on the original film, returned to animate on the short by hand, on paper. He pushed for the team to push the visuals and make them more cartoony.[5] All instances of computer-animation in the film were designed to appear as close to 2D as the artists could make them. For example, in a scene where Stitch, who is a computer-animated model, and Scratch, who is hand-drawn animated, are interacting both were made to look indistinguishable from one another.[5] The backgrounds in the short film were painted both traditionally and digitally depending on the artists choice of medium.[5] In August 2026, Haim Mazar, who previously composed Versa with director Pierce, was revealed to be composing for the short film.[6] Grace Fisher, a disabled artist and composer with acute flaccid myelitis, also composed the short film.[7][8] The score is performed by a 70-piece symphony orchestra with a nine-piece Hawaiian ensemble, conducted by Mazar, with a new original theme from both composers tailored to work with either the orchestra or the Hawaiian ensemble.[8] MarketingA frame from the short, showing Lilo holding Scratch, was released as a first look on November 10, 2026.[8][9] A children's book adaptation written by author John Edwards will be released in the future.[10] ReleaseFootage from Lilo & Scratch was screened at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 26, 2026, also known as "626 Day" or "Stitch Day" in reference to Stitch's codename, with the short's first two minutes shown.[1][2][11] It is scheduled to be theatrically released alongside Hexed on November 25.[2][11] ReceptionAwards and nominations
