Over two decades after his big-screen debut, Stitch is officially back — and not just in the movie! Ahead of the highly anticipated live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch (set to hit theaters May 23, 2025), a lifelike animatronic Stitch is going viral for scanning tickets and interacting with fans at AMC Theaters.
In the now-viral clip shared by DiscussingFilm, Stitch sits in his own custom booth, scanning moviegoers’ phones while gleefully shouting, “Aloha!” and “Bye-bye!” Fans lined up to take selfies with the adorable blue alien, treating him like a true Hollywood A-lister — and honestly, who could resist?
Disney’s marketing brilliance shines once again. Just like in 2002 when trailers showed Stitch invading iconic Disney movie scenes, this campaign puts him face-to-face with audiences — creating unforgettable experiences.
Stitch’s CGI design for the 2025 film was unveiled at D23 Expo and even made a Super Bowl LIX appearance, running wild across the field yelling “Nala Kweesta!” Fans are praising the new version for staying true to the original character’s wide eyes, floppy ears, and chaotic charm.
With the film approaching, this clever promo campaign is building huge anticipation. If you’re lucky, you might just meet this animatronic Stitch at your local AMC before seeing one of the most buzzed-about sci-fi remakes of the year.
