"what a little CUTIE!!! she's the perfect lilo," one fan tweeted, while another added, "The perfect Lilo does exist, and she looks like this." (See a photo of Kealoha here.)
As for Lilo's lovable sidekick Stitch, the dog-like alien will be a CG creation, according to the outlet.
The recent casting news comes more than nine months after Dean Fleischer Camp reportedly joined Lilo & Stitch as director. According to the magazine, the movie will be released on Disney+.
