Aladdin

I'm very old-fashioned! Grew up reading the story of Aladdin (not the Little Golden Book) and was hoping Disney would do something great with this. I'm only one voice but I found it the most disappointing version ever. Would rather the cartoon than this. Way too much bad singing. The only thing that saved it was the magic carpet . I love everything Disney....but not this! Woeful from start to finish 👎👎👎

I went into this with zero expectations, as the Disney remakes are usually not very good but I was pleasantly surprised with this! I thought it captured the vibe of the original cartoon really well and many of the songs were great. Just know that there are some new parts to the story so it's not a complete carbon copy of the cartoon but I think it worked quite well. I'm definitely rewatching it :)

This film sapped away the magic of animation and gave nothing in return. Will Smith is not up to Robyn Williams standards and that impulsive, unscripted amazingness that Robyn gave, just never came. The film is pretty much the same as the cartoon, which left you waiting for something more ... something that never came. Probably 5 stars for the kids, but half as much for adults, and only 1 star if you lived through the original Robyn Williams version.
