May 10 (UPI) -- Disney has released a video featuring the title characters in scenes from the new live-action version of Lilo & Stitch, set to the animated original's beloved song, "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride."

Iam Tongi and the Kamehameha Schools Children's Chorus sing the joyous tune.

The 2 1/2-minute preview has gotten more than 350,000 views since it was first posted on YouTube on Friday.

The soundtrack for the film about an adorable animated alien wreaking havoc for the people of Hawaii is set for release on May 21. It also features numerous songs by late rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley.

The movie is to open in theaters on May 23.
