A Whole New Aladdin

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2019)

Disney could have played it safe. They could have just taken the popular scenes from the animated film and recreate them with live actors. But they didn't. They decided to take a bold move and flesh out all the characters we know and love. They made Jasmine, Aladdin, Genie, and Jafar 3 demmensional characters. At times it felt like an original movie that was based on the animated movie, but in the best way possible! I get confused when people say it didn't add anything new or it was too much like the original. Coming from a huge fan of the original, this was NOT a copy and paste of the animated. It took what made that movie good and made it great as well as taking other aspects and changing them to make it better.
The music was simply amazing, Alan Menken took all the songs that we loved and made them fit perfectly with this new Genie as well as adding some new music that made Jasmine so much better than her animated countrtpart.
