Don't bother

Rating: 1/10 (19 August 2019)

Such a shame. Visuals are great - looks like planet earth, but with none of the performance.
Singing is poor - ridiculous considering the amazing options from broadway and west end that the vocals were so weak. Also, the riffing was flat at times - how did an editor not pick up on this?!
Acting - particularly comedy - is awful, just not funny, timing is off and some very poor direction to the actors.
Visual effects are great but character is lost due to botox-style faces with no emotion.
The best song - be prepared - is cut down and I don't know where some of the rest of the lyrics came from but they didn't feel like Tim Rice (perhaps some that he originally threw away?)
Finally, I LOVED the Aladdin remake and I was a huge fan of both of the original films so I know this is not a nostalgic dislike, it's just a really bad film. My six year old didn't enjoy it either - so what is Disney any more if not for kids or their parents?
