Disney certainly wants to inspire the newest generation by bringing back the old movies in which we all must agree we grew from watching them and until today they are amazing.
This movie will definitely inspire the newest generation and bring joy to be watch with family. Will Smith will always be Will Smith, cheerful and funny.
Some of the visuals are really incredible, with the introduction of the city Agrabah, we can feel the liveness of the city and how beautiful it is. Now I can't compare it to the genie itself. I would prefer to see will smith as normal will smith than a weird ass smurf as a floating head. Our minds can detect these things when we feel something is off and when we see something that is trying to resemble another actor with different proportions it will trigger our minds to say that it feels weird, maybe rubbery or even not even close to what we expect. There were a few shots like when we see the genie for the first time and I will be honest they were amazing, but when we see him as almost human size, it really turns it off that magic of him.
Taking that aside, I would suggest you watch the animation. Until now, it still feels incredible with good storytelling, building up the characters, such as the importance of the magic carpet and Abu, and the amazing Robin Williams as the genie. The Magic on the animation feels stronger in this one.
** SPOILER FOR THE FEWS **
I felt really sad when I saw the magic carpet dying on the animation, it made me really care about that object. But in this movie, they already killed it before its own magic and couldn't care less about it when it died in this movie.
