Strategic Production Horizon

Summer 2028 Alignment: July release offers an ideal 11-month VFX turnaround following principal photography completion in late 2027.

Accelerated Franchise Velocity: A 3-year gap between Lilo & Stitch (2025) and Lilo & Stitch 2 (2028) beats the historical 5.3-year average gap for Disney live-action sequels.

CGI Creature Pipeline: Photorealistic alien rendering requires at least 9–12 months of dedicated post-production to avoid release postponements.
