Disney's Aladdin Live Action Film is Here!

Disney’s new Aladdin Live action film is here. Read on to find out what I thought about it and why you need to add it to your collection. Disclosure: I received this movie free of charge for my honest review. However, all opinions are 100% mine.

Disney’s Aladdin Live Action Film

If you grew up in the early 90’s chances are Aladdin was your movie. I remember being such a fan of it and loved so much about it. It was the first time I remember a Disney Movie being funny, entertaining and cool. Even for a difficult 12 year old like myself. So when I heard that Disney would be releasing a Live Action Aladdin, I’m not going to lie, I was concerned.

What would they be doing to my beloved classic? Would they be able to honor not just the story line but Robin Williams who played the Genie so well? Read on to find out what I though…

Well for starters the casting was fantastic. It felt like when you read a book and imagine what the characters are supposed to look like. When I saw the various characters on the screen I realized, yup, nailed the casting.

Mena Massoud is Aladdin and Naomi Scott is Jasmine in Disney’s live-action ALADDIN, directed by Guy Ritchie.

As for the story line it doesn’t deter too much from the “original” including some of the original songs. That being said the similarities end there. This movie was awesomeness in my book.

If you’re going into this movie comparing the original Aladdin, please don’t. I know it can be hard. But I want you to see the bigger picture and message you just can’t get from the cartoon version.

The songs for the most part are the same with a few new numbers. However, I really enjoyed seeing more depth of character which a live action film can give it. Most important, Will Smith doesn’t disappoint.

This version is a winner and you can easily get a copy online or in stores.

This new version includes the following Bonus features include*:
