Lilo & Stitch stars Maia Kealoha and Sydney Agudong may play on-screen siblings, but off screen, they say they've become sisters as well.

"I think we both felt a very special bond," Agudong, 24, told Good Morning America. "We just loved each other, which was really huge."

Lilo & Stitch surfs into theaters May 23.
