Lilo & Stitch or Stitch (marketed as Disney Stitch) is an American media franchise created and owned by The Walt Disney Company. The first installment was written and directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, and released in 2002. The combined critical and commercial success of the original film, which was a rarity for the company's feature animation studio during the studio's post-Renaissance downturn in the early 2000s, led to two direct-to-video and one television sequel feature films, animated shorts, three animated television series, a live-action/CGI feature film adaptation, several video games, theme park attractions, comics, literature, and various merchandise. The franchise became one of Disney's top ten best-selling franchises, with retail sales reaching $2.6 billion as of 2024 and later earning another $4 billion for the 2025 fiscal year alone. Overall revenue (including the box offices of the two theatrical films) has reached over $7.9 billion, making it one of the highest-grossing media franchises. The franchise, primarily the original 2002–2006 animated continuity, mainly focuses on the adventures of the titular eccentric and mischievous duo: an orphaned Hawaiian girl named Lilo Pelekai and an artificial extraterrestrial creature originally named Experiment 626, whom she adopts and names Stitch. Stitch was created via genetic engineering by alien mad scientist Dr. Jumba Jookiba to cause chaos and destruction across the galaxy but was rehabilitated by Lilo thanks to ʻohana, the Hawaiian concept of extended family. The duo's ʻohana mainly consist of themselves; Lilo's older sister and legal guardian, Nani Pelekai; Jumba; and Jumba's Earth-loving partner, Agent Wendy Pleakley. Most of the sequel and spin-off material of the franchise also involves many genetic experiments similar to Stitch, whom he treats as his "cousins", Captain Gantu, a giant militaristic alien from the original film who becomes an antagonist to the main ʻohana in later works,...
