An absolute classic!

I did not enjoy it as much as Beauty and the Beast but it was still good. Had some big time interest in the casting seeing how Aladdin is from Markham, Ontario and a graduate of Ryerson University (my dad worked there for 25+ years and my brother is also a graduate). He was fantastic and so was Naomi Scott as Jasmine. The casting for these two characters was phenomenal. As for Jafar, wasn't a huge fan at first because of the actor's high pitched voice and how young he was (I always envisioned Jafar having a deep voice and being an older dude) but he was just as evil as one could be. The biggest surprise for me was Will Smith. He was great. I though it was the dumbest idea to cast him as the Genie but he quickly changed my mind and was perfect for the role. A fun move I would love to watch again. The main characters have a great connection together and these remakes are always fun.
