Disney fans creeped out after discovering where they’ve heard Lilo’s voice before – gasping ‘this changes everything!’

Disney fans are creeped out after discovering where they have heard the voice of Lilo from Lilo and Sтιтch before.

The much-loved franchise, created by Walt Disney Animation Studios, Chris Sanders and Dean Deblois, became a huge hit when it was released as a movie in 2002.

The original film, named Lilo & Sтιтch, follows the story of a young girl called Lilo Pelekai, who lives in Hawaii, and ends up adopting a blue alien called Sтιтch. 

Actress Daveigh Chase, 34, took on the voice role of youngster Lilo for all the films, TV adaptations and video games, until this year when Maia Kealoha, eight, took on the voice of her former alter-ego in the new 2025 adaptation.

But one fan pointed out on the Today I Learned Reddit thread that she played a spooky role alongside the first Lilo & Sтιтch movie.

They wrote on the discussion site: ‘TIL that the girl who voice acted Lilo in Lilo & Sтιтch went on to play the creepy girl in The Ring.’

The Ring hit our screens in 2002.

Daveigh took on the role of youngster Samara Morgan in the terrifying horror. 

The synopsis reads: ‘A journalist must investigate a mysterious videotape which seems to cause the death of anyone one week to the day after they view it.’

The supernatural psychological blockbuster, based on Hiroshi Takahashi’s novel Ring, also starred Naomi Watts, Martin Henderson, David Dorfman, Brian Cox and Shannon Cochran. 

Many couldn’t believe Daveigh’s role in the Ring franchise.

One rushed to reply to the post and said: ‘Wow, Mind=blown.’ 

‘This changes everything.’ 

Another simply wrote out a shocked face with symbols.

The Ring franchise, owned by Kadokawa Corporation and Paramount Pictures, is based on Koji Suzuki’s novel Ring. 

The first book, dubbed Ring, was brought out in 1991, followed multiple others – Spiral, Loop, Birthday, S and Tide. 

They were later made into numerous comics, as well as films. 

The first film was released in 1995, followed by a second in 1997 and then Spiral in 1998. 

Ring 2 and The Ring Virus both premiered in 1999, followed by Ring: 0 Birthday in 2000.

But Daveigh took on the role of Samantha for the 2002 adaption The Ring, Rings (2005), The Ring Two (2005) and Rings (2017).

These two franchises aren’t the only popular films and TV shows that Daveigh has worked on.

Over the years Daveigh has had a very successful career. 

She has appeared in S. Darko, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Jack Goes Home and American Romance. 

Telly wise, she’s landed roles in Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Charmed, ER, Family Law, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Without a Trace, Big Love and Killer Crush. 

Daveigh hasn’t been active in the acting industry since 2016, meaning that she has stepped away from the spot light. 

The actress doesn’t appear to have any social media accounts either.
