Lilo & Stitch's remake has a lot of structural similarities to the original animated film, but makes some interesting tweaks to the ending.

Disney’s blockbuster film "Lilo & Stitch" is now in theaters. Does the live-action remake have an end-credits scene? Here’s why fans should stay seated.

The film opens with Stitch, an alien being exiled from his planet, crash landing into Earth on Hawaii. While Stitch is navigating his new-found planet, six-year-old Lilo (Maia Kealoha) explores the ocean all by herself. She has no friends and always causing chaos, with her schoolmates labelling her as "weird."

Lilo & Stitch has been a box office hit so far, and fans wonder if the Disney movie will get a sequel now that it has become a hit.

You think surely I saw all of the best Disney movies? Then you hit play and realized you never watched Lilo & Stitch. I think the reason I never saw the film because I was in my teens when it came out,

Heartfelt and silly — but worked better in animated form.

Maia Kealoha, 8, makes her debut in the live-action remake of "Lilo & Stitch." She tells USA TODAY about auditioning for the role and what's next.
