Stitch! Stitch & Ai

Animated

Both series take place after the events of Leroy & Stitch (the finale to Lilo & Stitch: The Series), with both series featuring recreated flashbacks of Lilo & Stitch, Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch, and The Origin of Stitch short film. However, both series are on separate timelines, as the Chinese series Stitch & Ai was produced without consideration towards the Stitch! anime. The canonicity of either series have not been established by Disney.
Stitch! takes place approximately two decades after the events of Leroy & Stitch per Lilo's appearance as an adult with a daughter who looks identical to her as a child in a third-season episode.
Stitch & Ai takes place in 2016 at the latest per a calendar appearing in the episode "Dragon Parade". How many years have passed since Leroy & Stitch is not specified, however, although Captain Gantu appears as part of the Galactic Council again after being reinstated to his post in Leroy & Stitch (he was forcibly retired from his post in Lilo & Stitch), and Cobra Bubbles appears without looking any different from his previous appearance in the Lilo & Stitch: The Series episode "Shush".
