This givesLilo & Stitch’s charactersthe same emotional core as their animated counterparts — save for one character, who gets a completely different fate than in the original.
Families checking out the movie in theaters might be curious if there’s any reason to stay through the credits for a post-credits scene. One of the more consistent questions in the current era of mainstream filmmaking, the post-credits scenes can offer a glimpse into the future of a property, resolve lingering threads, or further expand on the ending. WhileLilo & Stitchdoes do the latter throughout the credits thanks to a picture montage, there’s no major post-credits scene that sets upa sequel toLilo & Stitch.

Lilo & Stitch Doesn’t Have Any Extra Scenes After The Movie Is Over
Similar to many other live-action Disney remakes of animated properties,Lilo & Stitchdoes not have a formal post-credits scene.Lilo & Stitchultimately ends in a very similar fashion to the original movie, with Lilo, Nani, Stitch, and their extended adopted family finding happiness together. Although many small details of the scene have changed (such as Nani being at college, Jumba not being there, and Lilo being watched over by Bubbles and Tūtū), this gives both versions ofLilo & Stitcha fairly conclusive ending.
There’s no scene after the credits that reveals more about the Galactic Federation or the other corners of the setting. This could leave the door open for a potential sequel, depending on how wellLilo & Stitchdoes with audiences. It’s already one of thebest-reviewed entries in Disney’s live-action remakesand could easily justify a sequel with an impressive box office run and debut on streaming.Not having a post-credits scene allows any prospective follow-up to go in any number of directions, rather than establish a specific storyline or thread that needs to be resolved.

The Montage Hints At The Full Scope Of Lilo & Stitch’s Happy Ending
Fans who are curious about the fates of their favorite characters won’t have to worry, though, asLilo & Stitchdoes offer some clues thanks to a montage of photos that can be seen throughout the credits of the film. These pictures showcase Lilo and Nani’s new situation, confirming that Lilo and Nani’s home was successfully rebuilt and that Agent Bubbles and Pleakley became unofficial members of the extended family as well.
The pictures are a great little way for the film to expand on the characters in cute ways. This allows the film to recreate specific moments from the original animated film (like Stitch dressing as Elvis) that didn’t fit into the new story.The montage also establishes some important character beats, such as the confirmation that Nani and David have begun a romantic relationship (as evidenced by the picture of the pair kissing). The final picture is a cute beach picture signifying their collective family, with David, Tūtū, Bubbles, and Pleakley seemingly part of it.

A Sequel Could Expand On The Emotional Connections Teased In The Film’s Creditds
The credits forLilo & Stitchconfirm the family bond at the heart of the film, cementing their happy ending and ensuring the audience can leave the film confident that their connections are assured. A potential sequel would be somewhat simplified by the presence of Tūtū and Bubbles, giving Lilo a stable homelife, as it allows Nani to continue grow as a character independent of her role as Lilo’s caretaker.A sequel could build off the tease about her romance with David. The pictures also imply that Bubbles will be a very active part of the family unit going forward.
Bubbles being a more present part of the family could allow him to develop a bond with Pleakley…
This quietly might be how a prospectiveLilo & Stitchsequel addresses the lack of Jumba in the group dynamic. In the original film, Jumba found some redemption on Earth and eventually became a part of the family alongside Pleakley. By contrast, his fully villainous 2025 counterpart is sent back to space. Bubbles being a more present part of the family could allow him to develop a bond with Pleakley, replacing one of the more important supporting dynamics in earlier spin-offs.Lilo & Stitch’s pictures hint at the core emotional arcs that could get more focus in a sequel.
