The real question: what will Abu look like?

Itll probably be a real monkey. He didnt really talk.

Now what about Rajah? Wonder if they'll have a real tiger

Its kinda sad how Cinderella and Belle are both more attractive for the live action versions, Jasmine being plain looking is a real fuck up for casting. She does not look like any raving beauty, maybe its her daddys money and kingdom that is the selling point for this version.

The animated version is an exotic beauty that most people find to be the nest disney princess, her good looks in the animated version also give a good reason Aladdin would be doing almost anything to get her.

Meh. That cover pic doesn't fill me with hype by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't hate it either. I can get behind the rationale of them not trying to recreate Robin Williams' Genie, that's a recipe for failure no matter how you approach it. Jasmine losing her midriff and Al losing his shirtlessness was an accepted inevitability at this point.

Pretty-boy Jafar is the only thing that genuinely bothers me. Do we seriously not have any Christopher Lloyds or Vincent Schiavellis in this acting generation?

Is Disney so out of ideas that theyre live actioning all their cartoons?


the REAL crime is Disney excluding the "Be Prepared" song from the new Lion King.


Go back and listen to Christopher Walken's butchering of 'I Wanna Be Like You' in the recent live-action Jungle Book, and then tell me with a straight face that it's a good idea that they try to recreate such iconic songs.

I cant believe how plain the person playing Jasmine looks, they could not have found an actress that looks more attractive ?

exactly! there are countless exotic goddesses cosplaying as her flawlessly on facebook or instagram (I know a couple myself) and you choose this plain jane to portray the most attractive and iconic Disney princess of them all? wtf lmao

Eh. I do think they should have stuck with Arabic actors and actresses though. Not like there's any shortage of them if they looked outside of the US/Canada.

PFFFFHAHAHAHA

what's a better idea then remaking a movie 20 something years later just so the kids who grew up watching it will bring their own kids to see this?

why make anything new when you can sell nostalgia to people

There are a lot of sexy women that are arabic that would fit the role of Jasmine, hell there are cosplayers that fit the role better then this actress.

I know disney is saving for The Lion King budget but there is no excuse for making the exotic princess a plain jane. Some corners you dont cut and the lead actress is a big no corner cutting.

Will Smith is going to be an awesome genie. He can sing, he can dance, and he can act. He is perfect for this role.

What I was thinking. In a world without Robin Williams, Will Smith is the best choice to play Genie.

They should have made him blue though.

Jasmine is hot. There is a severe lack of midriff, but she's still very easy on the eyes. That's what matters most.

Smith's Genie doesn't bother me. He looks ridiculous, but I'd already lost interest in this movie when they gave Jasmine a white fiancee. I don't need a designated character to identify with; especially when his only purpose is to lose the girl to the protagonist. Aladdin's one of the most relatable characters in any Disney movie. I'm not going to have Hollywood turn it into a race issue and tell me that I'm to identify with some cuckolded prince instead of the hero.

are we all gonna ignore this or?

Naomi Scott is indian not arabic, and considering that Jasmine is suppose to be seriously attractive this actress is a plain jane.

Sorry but the hottest disney princess is meant to be sexy and exotic, this actress might fit the exotic bit but she is not very sexy.

I'm fine with this and the directors rationale makes perfect sense. If they tired to CGI him as a big blue guy again they'd inevitably attacked for "not as good as Robin Williams version" and people would shit all over the film and never give it a chance. And the Disney version from the 90s is only ONE version of the story, albeit the most popular version probably.


People are going to shit on Will Smith's Genie as not being as good as Robin Williams' anyway. Because fans generally don't like big changes to their object of fandom.

It's right on the line for me. Lemuire was great as was Potts and Chip. Cogs wasn't bad but nothing special. Days in the sun is a top tier addition though, maybe enough to push it over the original. Hard to say though TBH (for me ofc).

You guys are crazy. Naomi Scott is very pretty. People saying she looks plain. Wtf?! Ok, so she's not a super model, but she doesn't have to be that. She just has to be a believable princess. I am more surprised you guys aren't criticizing that she looks white, which she gets from her British father.

Will Smith will be fine. There's going to be a lot of CGI anyway because of his spells and different form. He's got the energy for it, but I admit I'm a little worried about what his accent will sound like.
