Aladdin - A timeless classic attempted to be reimagined

Rating: 7/10 (12 June 2019)

Fist let's start with the positives, very nostalgic making me want to go back and watch the original. The climax itself did not live up to the build up in my opinion. Also random musical numbers (two by Jasmine) that were not in the original which had nothing to do with anything which did not contribute to the story. Another negative was the fact that the whole theme of the movie is you have to speak out. That's not a bad thing it's just not like the original where it was just a harmless Disney movie with a message in itself that wasn't so blatantly obvious as this one was. But back to the positive there were some very nice references to Magic Kingdom at Disney World in there which I liked. There were also some recognizable lines in the background if you were listening for them like I was. Overall a good movie would watch again if the opportunity arose, definitly would not go out and buy it for myself though but recommend renting it.
