Retro World Why do Disney Live Action remakes think it’s more epic to tone down the climax? Seriously, in Beauty and the beast the climax was intense in the original, you had a heavy rain storm, Gaston and the beast punching each other, and over a high roof. It had high stakes. In the remake, it’s over after two pistol shots. Why? You could have gone all out! Imagine how much more darker you could go with the bigger budget and longer running time. Aladdin’s climax I’ll admit wasn’t overly impressive but there were still some pretty high stakes. Jasamine was trapped in a clock, Jafar could literally turn into anything he wanted, and Aladdin had to narrowly dodge everything thrown at him. In the remake Jafar does nothing, and turns Iago into a giant. The only better climax was in the jungle book 2016. That movie was actually better than the animated one in my opinion. You have every opportunity and everything in your power to go bigger! Instead they go smaller, which is a bad thing.
@carrastealth5 жыл бұрын
@@charlietheanteater3918 I wouldn't say Jafar did "nothing". He was on the verge of marying Jasmine who took the Lamp and jumped off to Aladdin and Carpet, then they spent the next few minutes trying to escape the Giant Iago as the Lamp essentially was around and about as each were trying to grab it. Eventually Abu was able, to but he lost it, the chase got even more intense, and Carpet was *actually ripped apart*. In the midst of this, the Sultan is trying to fight Jafar but ultimately failing. if the audible gasp of the audience at that moment(when Carpet ripped) wasn't enough to say it, Jafar got the Lamp back and had Aladdin captured. I'd say that was pretty action packed. To me I enjoyed that far more when I think about it, because Aladdin swinging a sword at a gigantic CG snake while Jasmine is in a giant hourglass, in live action I don't think would ever have captured what the original did. So the actual climax which was also a nod to the original story of Aladdin I think worked very well. Final Boss Iago was still a heartpounding scene for me. But to each their own.

Just wanted to point something out real quick. In the animated movie, Jafaar straight up said to Jasmine that he decapitated the boy from the marketplace for the crime of kidnapping the princess, giving her guilt for leaving the palace and extreme animosity towards Jafaar. Jafaar’s pleasure after she leaves in grief also shows how evil he really is. It wasn’t until Jasmine heard Prince Ali say, “Do you trust me?” that she recognized Aladdin and realized he was actually alive. Kind of explains why it’s more impactful than the live action version.

Jasmine was already one of the strongest Disney princesses. Think about it, she doesn't let other men decide her fate, she stands up to Jafar even in the face of danger, willing to manipulate him pretending to like him in order to help save her home, OWNS A PET TIGER, sneaks out of her palace to better learn about her kingdom on her own whim. Jasmine was already pretty badass. And wouldn't it make sense of Aladdin to be confident considering he's a street rat that gets by through all sort of tricks and escape routes? What I don't understand is why the lack of animated Disney movies? Is it a cost/production issue? There's plenty of various Disney stories that could've been done...no, not Old Yeller.

The justification in the movie is that Jasmine had studied geopolitics in the palace with her maps and whatnot, while Aladdin never went to school and couldn't even read. But that doesn't change the fact that almost every Asian society in pre-modern times refused to hand over power to women. The only way a woman could become a ruler in the East was by first becoming a palace concubine (basically a glorified whore) and then sleeping her way up the hierarchy and having everyone who stood in the way of her succession - including her own male children - murdered. But of course this Mary Sue version of Jasmine could never be shown doing those things.

So instead of trying to one up Robin’s Genie, he wanted to bring his own take on the Genie. He brought a more hip hop sorta take on the Genie, while Robin kept his fourth wall breaking humor. You comparing the two is just disrespectful to both Will and Robin.

They didn't remove Aladdin's confidence. Here's a guy who sneaks past the guards and tells Jasmine you need to act like you own everything. He confidently points out she's from the Palace the second they meet. He intervenes to save Jasmine, robs a vendor to his face, mocks said vendor, and draws the guards' attention to him and away from Jasmine. They made him less cocky, which is actually a good thing. He's a thief. He shouldn't draw attention to himself. The movie shows us an Aladdin who is a master of slight of hand, great at blending in and using disguises, bold and daring in his escapes, especially where he apparently leaps to his doom once or twice. He's awkward at being a prince because he's never been a prince and because he is in love and not thinking straight.

Aladdin(2019) took away from the original's iconic moments and development.

I think (you touched on this briefly with the music scenes) the main problem with the film is the colour. It all just feels dull. I particularly saw it when you compared the two cave of wonder scenes and then the "a whole new world" bit. While the animated one is full of vibrant and eye-catching colours, the live action one just looks like it is muted and someone turned down the brightness on my PC. Like in the animated one the gold stands out, the gene stands out, the carpet lamp, everything stands out. Whereas in the live action its all just dull and dim. It seriously looks like someone forgot to saturate the colour. Goddamn embarrassing

Let's not fool ourselves. Except for maybe greed and laziness, the ONLY reason they churned out this remake was to relieve Eurocentric guilt. It was one long apology to actors of Arabic, Persian, and Indian descent. "We're so sorry you got left out of your own story back then, so now we'll make it up to you." That's a nice idea, but a blatant remake is not the way to do it. Doing the Aladdin story in a different way would have been much less patronizing. If they insisted on doing a remake, they should have chosen the famous silent film THE THIEF OF BAGHDAD, which has much more character development for Aladdin (although he's not called that in the movie). Plus, that film had an attempt by Chinese spies to overthrow the sultan as a plot point, so Disney could have included some Chinese along with the other Asians.

25:00-25:15 Here's another reason why the animated Aladdin was darker than the live-action version: the characters actually discussed about Agrabah's capital punishments. They might have been exaggerated, I don't know for sure, but given the location, they still had some cultural appropriateness to them. They said that when someone committed theft, they could've lost their hands. But if they committed even greater crimes, like kidnapping the princess, they could've lost their heads. For the cartoon to address that, that wasn't just dark without going over-the-top, it was ballsy.

Very true. And yes, it WAS exaggerated. There needs to be a legal process to find out if the person straight out stole something for no rhyme or reason. The person in the store can not just cut someone's hand off by themselves. But your right, it WAS ballsy. And that's a word I can use to describe the remake.

Really good review there Eric, I was do hope wishing on your next luck for the next The Loin King vs The Loin King reboot. I notice one notable flaw of the reboot (I only watched the trailers) that all animals didn't have emotions (yeah I know they're don't have it in real-life), but in the animated version it gave many characters amazing emotes along with the emotional scenes that we can feel of the characters like young Simba look at his fathers paw which it make me feel like Simba as well, but in the reboot version it only have dull face that I was watching National Geographic rather than a Disney movie.

Thanks buddy. I have already reviewed the trailer for The Lion King remake and the lack of facial expressions is something I have already covered. I do agree that it's a problem. We will have to see just HOW MUCH of a problem it is when the movie's released.

What disappoints me about this Live Remake is that the director focuses on the songs and dances, not the actual story. I don’t understand why they can’t just follow the original screenplay and simply change the camera-work and sentence structures, changing only a couple of things here and there to make it feel a little more realistic. (That’s what they did with the 101 Dalmations 1996 remake. Look how well it came out! Same thing, in my opinion, with the Cinderella 2015 remake.) How hard can it be? Cast the appropriate actors/actresses for their respective roles, stick to the original story, and stay closer to the original runtime. (what is with the extra half hour?!)

Not even a mention to Arabian Nights? That was done wonderfully in the live action. The animated version was good but way too short, in the live action it's a full song. It's the only song out of these live actions that i consider better than the original

Honestly, just because the live action one doesn't have the same features and the characters aren't the same, it doesn't mean it's bad. The live action was from the cartoon version, but it was never supposed to be the same thing. They changed the story, so what. The movie was still awesome in my opinion. You can prefer the animated version, but honestly, if you don't like the live action one just because aladdin's character is different and the story isn't the same, that's pretty messed up. Just my opinion though, you don't have to agree

Also have you watched the trailer for the new Mulan and what are your thoughts on the casting of the remake of The little mermaid? Thanks and keep up the good work.

I actually enjoyed the live-action and watched it in 4DX. Not sure if it's because my expectations were so low but I believe I genuinely enjoyed it. The romance between the leads felt more like an Asian drama which I didn't mind too much and gave it a different vibe. I would say the cast is mostly Arab besides Will. Naomi is Indian so they used that to implement the Bollywood elements which I think work well for the design choices and music. Aladdin was played very well by Mena and think he was the best choice. Jams. I think Will did a pretty good spin on the genie maybe because I'm not very attached to Williams performance or know very much about him. I also really liked his rendition of Prince Ali a lot. They tried to give Jafar more of a backstory making him an ex-thief and have a grudge against Shiribad because of what happened to him. I enjoyed the songs as well as the new one. The speechless song was good but I think they need to actually show her being silence a bit more throughout the movie to the point that it gets frustrating to give that impression that she was struggling and would be believable in that time period to have the impact it needed. At least the cast, especially Naomi, all sing better than Emma...

rewatching this at 8:45 it does make sense that he is acting very awkward and uncomfy because he has been a street rat all his life and then immediately swap life in a matter of seconds and after the genie dressed him like a prince he said "won't they recognize me?" meaning he is really anxious so that's why it's good that he did that
