IGN shows off an atrocious sneak peek of the new Aladdin movie on Twitter (about a minute of the Prince Ali song)

Compared to the original

For an additional comparison, and to show the song in a real life with a lot less resources, here's the broadway version.

Baz Luhrmann should have been the director for this. Would have been absolutely perfect.

I'm pretty sure if the thread title said "this new Alladin sneak peak looks great" most replies would be quite different. It's amazing how hyperbole is contagious around these parts.

Or maybe people remember what the original musical sequence was like?

There's like no action or dynamism whatsoever in the remake. Will Smith is just dancing through the streets doing basically jack as the Genie.

Ne-yo should have been the genie.

With every new tv spot the movie looks better and better tbh. I like the in camera Bollywood vibe of their dance numbers. The vitriol this movie is getting seems a bit overblown.

What is up with IGN exclusive clips being awful?

Not that I expect it to be dramatically better in the movie itself but I'm pretty sure their exclusive clip of Venom was edited differently from the movie.

the Tiny Spoons scene is atrocious

I had no idea what you were talking about but I hate this movie even more now

"Yam Jams! ...Al-Bab? No, it's a Qudsaya expression"

The thing is, there is one, and it looks (and sounds!) better

The Broadway Genie is amazing. And I also really like the guy that used to play Aladdin on there.



The dude just exudes charisma, and this cover is just fun as hell hah.

I don't have time or bandwidth to be mad about it but I am legit surprised to find out Will Smith can't sing. I guess I just assumed he was a triple threat.

Honestly I was surprised too. Not like Robin Williams was some great singer but man this dude is Will Smith. It doesn't sound like Smith is even straining his voice at all and they still had to autotune him for some mundane shit. He can't sing at all.

Frankly, Disney should go back to dubbing in real singers over the actors like they used to do in the past. Not sure how, when or why did this stop being a thing.

Instead we're forced to suffer garbage like Emma Watson sounding like a robot

Liking the costuming and sets the more I see them. If this reviews decently I'll probably see it in theaters.
