Disney’s beloved 2002 animated classic, Lilo & Stitch, returns in a live-action adaptation directed by Dean Fleischer Camp. Set against the lush backdrop of Hawaii, the story follows a spirited young girl named Lilo (Maia Kealoha) who adopts what she believes is a dog, only to discover it's a mischievous alien named Stitch (voiced by Chris Sanders, reprising his original role).
As Stitch's chaotic nature causes upheaval, Lilo's unwavering belief in 'ohana' (family) teaches him the true meaning of belonging. The film also features Sydney Elizebeth Agudong as Nani, with Zach Galifianakis and Billy Magnussen voicing the eccentric aliens Jumba and Pleakley. Fans can look forward to a blend of heartfelt storytelling, Hawaiian culture, and a soundtrack that includes favorites like "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" and Elvis Presley's "(You're the) Devil in Disguise."
Karate Kid: Legends breathes new life into the iconic franchise by uniting original stars Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio. Directed by Jonathan Entwistle, the film introduces Ben Wang as Li Fong, a kung fu prodigy from Beijing who relocates to New York City after a family tragedy. Struggling to adapt, Li finds solace in martial arts, guided by his mentor Mr. Han (Jackie Chan).
When a friend is in need, Li enters a karate competition, prompting Mr. Han to seek assistance from Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio). Together, they train Li, blending their distinct styles to prepare him for the ultimate showdown. The film also stars Joshua Jackson, Sadie Stanley, and Ming-Na Wen, promising a fusion of nostalgia and fresh energy.
DreamWorks Animation's cherished tale, How to Train Your Dragon, soars into live-action under the direction of Dean DeBlois, who helmed the original animated trilogy.

Their unlikely friendship challenges societal norms and leads to a quest to change perceptions about dragons.
The film features Nico Parker as Astrid and sees Gerard Butler reprising his role as Stoick, Hiccup's father. With a cast that includes Nick Frost, Julian Dennison, and Ruth Codd, and a score by John Powell, this adaptation aims to capture the magic and adventure that captivated audiences worldwide.
