Aladdin (2019) VS Aladdin (1992)

Disney have made yet ANOTHER Live Action remake of one of their classic animated movies. This time on the chopping block is Aladdin. Is the 2019 Aladdin remake as good as the original animated Aladdin from 1992, or is does it prove as another disservice to Disney's classic line of animated features.

[@kieranstark7213]

Welp unfortunately, it is a live-action Disney remake, so unfortunately, the things that make their animated counterparts so memorably strong would either be not added in the live-action counterparts or put to poor use to shit on our childhoods.

[@carrastealth]

They went with the scene from the original story. Which was what the Iago scene essentially is.

[@charlietheanteater3918]

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.

[@carrastealth]

​@@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.

[@tudorburlacu3139]

True

[@JoshSJoshingWithYa]

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.

why did they add the "Jasmine is accused of stealing" scene in the live action version? From what I remember, it was pretty similar to the orig movie, which was a weird choice. I mean, she can't be sultan and be ignorant of how a store works

[@SeasideDetective2]

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.

[@aishaarshadalam3412]

@@SeasideDetective2 But Aladdin also has a heavy Arabic influence and in the middle east there were plenty of women rulers 1000 years ago, who definitely did not need to sleep their way to the top. Mawiya was one such arab queen, she even fought the Romans. Its a misconception that there were no women rulers in Arabia in the past.

[@Jetblast01]

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.

[@JetblackJay]

I think Robin Williams was the best Genie over all he really steals the show more than will Smith does

[@nahte123456]

In fairness that could be a mark against Robin, the Genie is a supporting character, not the main character. He's not the one you want to steal the show.

[@JetblackJay]

True but the only other character that steals the show is Jafar because everyone enjoys a good villain

[@missprincesscarina]

No, Will Smith is the best Genie ever.

[@thethunderbird87]

That's just what Robin Williams did. Nobody else could pull that off. Hell, look at the episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway where he was the guest. Robin Williams over shadowed all the other performers and stole the whole show, but that's just Robin Williams. He's the only person who could do that without being hated our disliked in any way by the other performers. Granted I do know some people who had a problem with that episode because of that. But he was genuinely funny in it

[@Emilionare1000]

JetBlack Jay trying to compare Robin and Will’s Genies is like trying to compare a dollar bill to four quarters. Will said it himself that Robin Williams left some big shoes to fill and that he smashed the role as the Genie. He realizes that Robin set a bar that couldn’t be reached. 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.

The score in the original, unlike the remake is truly unforgettable! The new one always spams leitmotifs of Arabian Nights or A Whole New World constantly, where the original just did it's own thing with said leitmotifs popping up once or twice, depending on the scene and mood. I mean, it was so good that they re used almost all of the bgm, especially the cave escape theme in the second film as well as the Disney Afternoon show.

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

The new Aladdin film failed to match the scope and action of its predecessor... which was to be expected I guess. What I find really strange is how these remakes (better called “recycles”) continue to cut many of the humanizing, emotional character moments that made people love them in the first place. Those small moments make all the difference, no cgi involved.

[@SeasideDetective2]

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.

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.

If you asked me, I liked the reprise of One Jump and Friend Like Me more than the originals because they’re full of so much energy and exciting visuals. Aladdin was nowhere near perfect, and the fact that Disney removes the more iffy elements (such as slave Jasmine) and manages to keep it interesting and exciting makes me enjoy it more that I did the old one

[@comicbookking3446]

I just watched Aladdin today even though I couldn't finish it so far I think it's 100% better in the live-action remake I think both of us could agree with that

[@JYDY-if5rf]

Iago should have his very own spin-off television series starring Alan Tudyk due to Gilbert Gottfried’s death

[@BlueGuyTube]

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

[@mansmoviereviews4769]

I actually didn't see the new Aladdin two reasons 1 Disney remakes are very hit or miss and most of the time their miss 2 my firends saw it whithout me and they said it's super cringe

man's movie reviews You have to see movies for yourself. Find out how movies are on your own. Without listening to friends opinions. You have your own opinions on films. See if you love the movie or not.

[@josephdannivitz1167]

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.

[@EricCarter12]

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.

This review was great. You expressed everything I had been thinking!

I’m glad you liked the video Katarina. It’s not often that happens when you watch someone’s videos so I’m glad that the opinions in the review clicked with you. Thanks so much for watching! Please do give the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already as it really helps me out. And please do consider subscribing as I have a Mulan versus video that I am currently working on. And it should be out soon. Take Care

Speaking of Jafar, am I the only one who think the live action Jafar sound like he's imitating Vincent Price

I still liked the original and live action remake movies from Disney.

[@brogoram]

One of the reason i was excited about the remake is yago. But they just turned him to a normal repeat talking parrot

[@adirakessler498]

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?!)

[@ncrawford5673]

Lol I haven't even seen the live action Aladdin but all I need to do is watch the original

[@thevanished8185]

They reduced his confidence and took his strength away, and gave it all to Jasmine . Huh, go figure that.

[@pokemaster288]

Well, I don't have a problem with what you thought was better, even though I also believed that the animated movie was better. I just think that Disney is making live action remakes during an era of the renasasiance (sorry for the incorrect spelling) animation, where Disney's animation was terrific. If Disney really wanted to make live action remakes, then they should go to some of the older movies that no one has seen or hasn't seen in a while and make an update to it.

[@masterpenguin8472]

Yeah, like what they did with Jungle Book, which was a fantastic remake in my opinion.

[@stefanmakara373]

I really hated the live action, but I loved the song speechless. Yes, it is jackhammered in, and it doesn't make much sense in the movie, but as song, it is freaking amazing. The vocals are amazing, the score is amazing, the cresendo in the end... perfect. Loved it. AND it went on to serve as a score for like a hundred fanmade videos on various female characters in media and it is perfect like that.

[@KingKong-bf7wp]

Definitely goes to the original, even thought the remake is good, it is just like every other Disney remake where it is not as good at the original, also. Aladdin (1992): 10/10 The Return of Jafar: 2/10 Aladdin and the King of Thieves: 6/10 Aladdin (2019): 7/10

[@mariuskristensen1867]

Nice video I can't wait for the Hellboy vs video

[@hazelcrisp]

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...

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.

[@EricCarter12]

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.

[@kawh8719]

These live actions films all feel like Disney is cashing in on nostalgic feelings. If anything these remakes are on par to the shitty direct to video sequels from the 90s.

[@zacqueeentertainment7336]

I agree with a lot of what you said here but I find comparing live action movies with animated movies doesn’t really equate well. I’ve seen the Aladdin play at Disneyland and I think the play is a better comparison. I like looking at the movie as it’s own thing that was paying homage to the animated movie while still being original on its own. I commend that.

[@SuperSaiyanMaster2024]

I really loved the Live-action Aladdin but imo the 1992 one will always be the best.
