What Happened to Lilos Parents in Lilo and Stitch?

In Lilo & Stitch, Lilo's parents passed away in a car accident before the movie started. It's suggested that the accident happened because the roads were slippery from rain. They are only seen in three photographs: one shows Lilo, Nani, and their parents having a picnic on the beach, another shows Lilo's mom winning a hula contest at her school's May Day celebration, and the last one is of Nani with their parents at her intermediate hula graduation.

Lilo's mom was kind and loving, and she was a great hula dancer. She used to calm her kids with family nights, singing lullabies, and making up funny constellations. Lilo's dad played the ukulele and came up with the phrase "ʻOhana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten," which became their family motto.

Lilo really misses her parents and keeps a picture of them under her pillow. At first, she wouldn't let Stitch touch it, especially after a fight with Jumba damaged her house and the picture. In the episode "Remmy," which takes place on the accident's anniversary, Lilo is sad and takes a nap to deal with her feelings. The picture helps turn her nightmares into a happy dream of the day it was taken, making her feel better again. Strangely, the picture is not damaged in this episode.
