Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch

Stitch adjusts to life with his new ʻohana, trying to fit in with Lilo and her sister Nani. He learns daily routines, helps with chores, and his high energy brings mischief but also warmth to their small household. The story follows the alien’s ongoing integration into family life, the way friendship grows through small acts of kindness, and the humor that comes from his oddball antics. But trouble arrives when Dr. Jumba Jookiba's latest creation suffers a glitch, waking a dangerous programming that could endanger Stitch and destabilize the ties he has begun to form with Lilo and her friends. It keeps twists under wraps, focusing on resilience and belonging. Stitch learns responsibility while keeping his wild charm intact.

Directed by Michael LaBash and Tony Leondis, this direct-to-video sequel expands the Lilo & Stitch universe. It revisits island town with voices and character dynamics, returning Chris Sanders as Stitch and Dakota Fanning as Lilo, along with Tia Carrere altogether.

There was no theatrical release for this title, so no box office figures exist. The film premiered on home video, with distribution through Disney's video catalog and television airings; its commercial footprint remained modest and aimed at families worldwide today.

Critics treated it as a warm, lightweight extension that preserves the original's humor and heart while reinforcing themes of family, friendship, and responsibility. Stitch's mischief sits beside quiet moments of loyalty, showing how a found family can grow closer through everyday care, sacrifice, and patience, even when plans go awry.

This entry did not spark major pop culture moments, but it kept the franchise in the eye for families. It reinforces the idea that belonging matters and that even a tricky creature can learn to fit into a loving home. It offers gentle humor and belonging that sticks with viewers.
