In collaboration with another Disney live-action film of 2025, the release of the live-action Disney Princess and Prince movies.
The next live-action Disney adaptation that’s coming out is Disney’s Snow White, starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot as the titular princess and the Evil Queen, respectively. While the new take on the classic story is the main appeal of the live-action remake, Disney’s Snow White also has the potential to fulfill a 13-year-old promise by working alongside the team responsible for the live-action Lilo & Stitch.
Disney Promised A Snow White Trailer Interruption 13 Years Ago
Dopey Appears Among The Characters From Interrupted Trailers
The Stitch interruption trailers of 2002 are part of one of the most iconic Disney marketing campaigns in the last two decades. These teasers showed Stitch from Lilo & Stitch disrupting iconic scenes from these films:
- The Lion King
- The Little Mermaid
- Beauty and the Beast
- Aladdin
Alongside the teasers, they released a movie poster that showed Stitch surrounded by characters from the interrupted trailers with the words "There’s One in Every Family," which fits perfectly with the theme of Ohana in Lilo & Stitch.
Lilo & Stitch's Super Bowl Trailer Is Unusual With 3 Months To Go Until The Movie's Release
The live-action Lilo & Stitch finally comes out in May 2025, but the Super Bowl trailer is a bit of a headscratcher, given its unusual approach.
However, there’s a minor discrepancy with the poster. Characters from Snow White and Pinnochio appear on the poster, but they didn't get an interrupted trailer. To the left of Stitch is Dopey, and above the alien are Pinnochio and Jiminy Cricket. It's plausible they planned to release more interrupted trailers but pulled the plug without thinking about the poster. Ultimately, the fact that they weren't included in the teaser trailer campaign feels like an unfulfilled promise.
Disney Could Release A Teaser Where Stitch Interrupts The Live-Action Snow White
Although they dropped the ball by not giving Snow White and Pinnochio interrupted trailers, Disney has the perfect opportunity to fulfill one of their broken promises finally. The live-action Snow White is releasing in theaters just two months before the live-action Lilo & Stitch hits the big screen. Before Snow White, Disney could include a trailer that shows Stitch interrupting a moment in the movie. An ideal scene is when the dwarfs discover Snow White sleeping in the bed and react shocked. They could have them find Stitch instead.
Before Mufasa: The Lion King, they showed a teaser where Rafiki lifts Stitch instead of a lion cub, which is a call back to the animated movie’s trailer interruption.
The choice to include an interrupted references a scene of the animated Lilo & Stitch.
Snow White: Everything We Learned From the First Trailer
The official trailer for Snow White starring Rachel Zegler has been released, giving us our best look yet at the live-action remake.
Ultimately, since it doesn't seem that Disney is going the route of an official trailer for the live-action Lilo & Stitch trailer, the next best option is to continue the incredible tradition of teaser interruptions. This will make good on the promise of the "There's One in Every Family" poster. Plus, it will thrill fans old enough to the marketing and release of the animated Lilo & Stitch.
