Stitch!

is an anime series from Walt Disney Pictures. It is an adapted version of the animated movie Lilo & Stitch and the spin-offs that came after it, mainly Lilo & Stitch: The Series. It takes place in the future after the movie and started in Japan in October 2008.Disney seals Japan anime and "Lilo and Stich" deal, International business times, 2008-03-06Disney says to produce Anime 'made in Japan' (2008-03-08)Disney plans Japan animation effort, International Herald Tribune, 2008-03-06 The show has a Japanese girl named Yuna in place of Lilo, and is set on a fictional island off the shore of Okinawa instead of Hawaii.

The show ran from 2008 to 2011 in Japan for three seasons. Another two TV specials set after the end of the third season were released in 2012 and 2015. An English dub first debuted in Australia in 2009, but it featured an entirely different American voice cast from the original movies and TV series. This dub would not air in the United States until October 2011 on Disney's cable TV network Disney XD, a few months after the Japanese original ended. Even then, it ran for less than a week in the Lilo & Stitch franchise's home country and was swiftly taken off the air after only five episodes.
