Chris Sanders, who directed and co-wrote the original animated Lilo & Stitch (2002) with Dean DeBlois, voices Stitch in the live-action film. He also wrote on How to Train Your Dragon (2010), The Croods (2013) and on The Wild Robot (2024), which he also directed.

Nani, a teenager just about to head to college, struggles to hold down a job and watch out for her sister, who is a bit chaotic.

Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning' is likewise set to shatter records over what could be the biggest Memorial Day weekend of all time.
