Trailers feature Elvis Presley's song "Hound Dog" coming out of Stitch's mounth when he puts his finger on the record player. The same scene in the film uses Elvis' "Suspicious Minds".

One trailer has Stitch swinging a blue VW bug saying "Blue Punch Buggie". A later commercial replaces thats with "You forgot to mention fluffy".

German theatrical version was edited to avoid a "Not under 6" (!) rating.

Trailers show one of the aliens stating that Stitch has landed in "a place called Hawaii", when in the movie in the same instance the alien actually states Stitch has landed on "a planet called Ee-arth". Trailers show Stitch surfing and calling out "Cowabunga", whle in the movie he never utters this line.

The U.K. version of the film features Gareth Gates on the soundtrack performing a cover of Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds." This does not appear anywhere else in the world.

In the UK, to avoid a "12" rating, a shot of Lilo climbing out of a tumble dryer has been altered to have her lowering the top of a cardboard pizza box cover she is using to hide herself under a wooden table. The pizza box takes the place of the dryer door, and the table is the same size as a dryer.The scene is identical in every other way, including the action between Nani and Lilo. Apparently the lack of a latch or seal of any kind on an enclosed space satisfied the censors. The film has the same length as other uncut versions. When the Disney Channel aired this, it removed the scene entirely, skipping to when Nani has apprehended Lilo.
