Disney continues its roll of live-action remakes with Lilo & Stitch, coming to theaters May 23.

Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On), Lilo & Stitch once again tells the story of renegade alien Stitch (voiced by Chris Sanders, who co-directed and voiced Stitch in the original film) who crash-lands in Hawaii. There, he'll find an unlikely friendship with human Lilo (newcomer Maia Kealoha).

Lilo & Stitch's first full trailer pays tribute to several of the original film's most well-known moments, including Ice Cream Man tragically losing his ice cream, and those always-memorable words, "Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten."

On top of re-introducing Lilo and Stitch, the trailer also introduces the rest of the film's cast of characters, including Lilo's sister Nani (Sydney Elizebeth Agudong), Nani's boyfriend David (Kaipo Dudoit), and social worker Cobra Bubbles (Courtney B. Vance). On the alien side, Zach Galifianakis and Billy Magnussen play Jumba and Pleakley in their alien and human forms, and Ted Lasso's Hannah Waddingham voices the Grand Councilwoman. Tia Carrere and Amy Hill, the original voices of Nani and Lynne Hasagawa, return as new characters Mrs. Kekoa and Tūtū.

Catch them all in (live) action in the trailer above.
