We Watched Aladdin (2019) For The FIRST Time and Will Smith CARRIED The Movie!! Ft.

[@elizabethallen4257]

I looove this version of Aladdin. It’s the best live action I have seen so far (as of writing i have not seen little mermaid yet).

[@MoviesinDepth]

Little mermaid live action does kinda slap👀

[@SpacialRend7]

Definitely one of the better live adaptations to classic Disney films tbh, I had fun with Aladdin 2019!😄

[@Welchy]

Agreed!

[@MoviesinDepth]

YES it is fun!

[@lilybethkuhn9650]

This and Cinderella I think. I liked the others too but b and b just needed less vocal affects

[@the-NightStar]

Uh no. Objectively one of the WORST

[@Shaea_Q]

Hell no. It’s terrible 😂

[@BatmanFan76]

This is definitely a Disney live-action remake worth checking out. It’s actually pretty fun sometimes. Even Will Smith as the Genie is kinda funny. Not as funny as Robin Williams, but funny nonetheless.

[@MoviesinDepth]

Agreed!!

[@tiagopatricio3805]

NO ONE is as funny as Robin Williams!!!!

[@videohistory722]

Will Smith originally turned the role down, cause he didn't wanna ruin Robin's legacy, and he only changed his mind when his widow gave him permission

[@MoviesinDepth]

That’s actually so incredible

[@anzelle_taylors_version]

The only reason why I loved the live action version was because of Naomi Scott. The way she sang the second part of Speechless gave me chills and it became my favorite song after that.

[@observantwonderer7401]

Huh weird she and her performance was my biggest ISSUE with Aladdin, she just was not a good or accurate Jasmine

I appreciate that will smith tried to keep the essence of genie but also didn't try to be robin Williams because it would have been worse if he tried to be him

[@Bri_Games]

I haven’t seen the original in what feels like forever. I like the live action but I don’t know which one is better since I don’t really remember the original version that much. One of the main things I really remember from seeing this version in theaters when it came out in 2019 was me skipping kinda out of the theater all happy and singing/humming some of the songs, and feeling the Disney magic I guess you can say. Love the videos! You do an amazing job!

[@MoviesinDepth]

Thank You so much!!

Great vid as always Evan (and Welchy)! Fun fact: the Scandinavian king/prince is played by the same actor who played Rapunzel's prince in the Into the Woods movie.

[@tayab492]

This is one of my fav Disney live adaptations! This is definitely set in the Middle East, if it were Indian, they would wear very different attire such as punjabis (long shirt and pants) or saris. They may have casted South Asian actors/actresses for this movie because it's Disney and they like to cast people that aren't accurate in representation lol but I love that you're watching this! :)

[@MoviesinDepth]

Thank you so much for being here!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@lindseysquire8417]

It’s said that Jasmines mother was a princess from a southern country, implied to be near India culturally, in this one, so that works perfecr

I legitimately thought they were going to drink every time Will Smith “slapped” as in had a great scene in the movie. 😂 I only realized they were talking about a literal slap when the Sriracha came out. 🤦‍♀️

[@lindseysquire8417]

This movie is so cute and it means so much to me. Is it better? No, because Aladdin was Lightning in a bottle. But it’s still a fun film and I enjoy it more every time. I’m so glad you guys watched it lmao

[@MoviesinDepth]

Great take right here

[@zakkiyyabts7]

the original will always be the best and i know many dislike this movie but i feel it couldnt been easy to bring to life such iconic and one of my favorite animations to life so i give them credit for trying i really enjoy movie i loved naomi voice and will did amazing job as genie although mena might have been perfect aladdin i didnt hate his performance

[@fightingfaerie]

We sure either of you haven’t seen Twisted? There’s literally a scene you describe lol. “Aw you kids want this bread?… Fetch you fucks!” *yeets bread offstage*

[@seiya.power.awesome.inspire]

[@Nightskys753]

People shouldn't watched Disney movies if they are too logical it irritates me whenever people says that's not possible like they ruin the moment and focus on making us the fools like we watched and like them because we know that's not possible

[@MoonCoaster]

well at the part where jasmine jumps to the other building with aladdin, shes most likely scared because shes never done it before? I mean staying in a castle for the majority of your life you probably wouldnt have the curage to jump from another building-

This is one of the disney life Actions but deserved a sequel I am still mad that we did not get an Aladdin 2 Because it would have been fire😢

[@waterdragon55]

They do have an Aladdin 2 but wasn't tht popular at tht time animated version I mean

[@laurabrewes1422]

This is a fun live-action adaptation, but it felt like they tried to make the Genie's songs a little too Will Smith. "Heard your princess was hot, where is she?" Felt especially egregious to me.

[@MoviesinDepth]

Yeaaaah not the best line there

[@LadyGreensleeves33]

This is the only live action that even begins to give the vibes of the original at all lol. Not all the vibes. But some... And Jafar needed a deeper voice, but that's just me.

[@tiagopatricio3805]

This was a good a movie. Im sure i watched the cartoon version long long time ago. Love the new song in the real live version called speechless.

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

Sorry if I missed the reaction. I'm not a big live-action remake fan, but at least Will made this one watchable.

[@eline_van_dijk]

The only live action Disney remakes I really enjoyed to the point of rewatching them are The Little Mermaid and Cinderella 2015, but I gotta admit that this one was pretty good. It could've been a lot better, but it kept me hooked for most of it and it actually felt like an Aladdin remake (not like the Lion King which skipped on half of the Be Prepared song for no reason while villain songs and love songs are the most important songs in classic Disney)

[@Tadpoli]

I genuinely love the song "Speechless." It's a great song with a great message and Naomi KILLS it. It's also such a fun song to sing. But the way they include the song in the film completely 100% ruins every word of it. It's so poorly executed and it's just plain bad. Forget the scenes and just listen to the soundtrack version, genuinely. The actual full song is really good, and again, Naomi Scott has a phenomenal voice and some of those notes are hard to belt out and she attacks them so well. I completely agree that the way they portrayed Aladdin and Jasmine's roles were just cheesy and unconvincing. They tried so hard to make Jasmine more empowered, and they succeeded slightly, but just barely. Will Smith did a fantastic job making the role his own, and his songs are great. The acting was definitely subpar, but the songs and the choreography are really well done. It's worth watching the movie to see it and see Will Smith do such a good job with such a terrifying role, and Mena (Aladdin) is an insanely great dancer and Naomi is a fantastic singer. Aside from that...I mean...The CGI cat is cool.

[@bradybeckley3343]

I actually disagree with yalls take on Aladdin and Jafar. I mean, Jafar definitely isn't my favorite, but he's not AWFUL (I just wish they got someone who could sing so he could do the Prince Ali Reprise from the original), but I really liked this Aladdin! I thought he definitely had the charm, sincerity, and the comedic acting chops of a good Aladdin and his control over his voice and knowing when to sing straight and sing with his character voice was amazing! Also, just a fucking AMAZING dancer, which is a big plus! I also disagree on Jasmine's song. I mean, it has already been WELL established that she wants a say in what goes in the country and she clearly cares about her people more than she cares about being royalty AND more than Jafar or her father do, so obviously, being told to shut up and stay out of it when she's the ONLY one who knows how to fix these problems correctly while keeping in mind the people of the country is going to make her feel unseen, unheard, and mistreated because she is, so I think that was the perfect place for her big song. I really love this movie. Obviously not better than the original cuz nothing can top that movie nor Robin Williams, but I think this definitely holds up very well. To be fair, being a musical theatre performer, I tend to look at performances in movies through my singing and dancing trained lense, so the intricacies in the acting that I'd really focus on if it were on the stage sometimes flies past my personal radar in a movie setting, as acting on stage is WAY different than acting on screen, so I mostly base what I like and dislike in musical movies on the voices, the quality of movement, and the connection and understanding of the material. I do agree to a certain extent about Jafar, but I think yall were a little too harsh on Aladdin lol. I still loved the video, though! Great reaction! Yall are hilarious!

[@jessicamagri8211]

I really like this remake! I’ll be honest, I’m not attached to Aladdin by any means. It was not one of those movies I watched often as a kid. That being said, I loved Naomi Scott as Jasmine and the “Speechless” song, the actor that plays Aladdin became one of my celeb crushes (subpar acting aside), Will Smith puts a nice spin on the Genie, and I really enjoy the new additions to the remake. Also, I’m secretly glad that Jafar wasn’t too creepy in this lol.

This love action would've been very Good, if Jasmine and Jaffar were played by other ppl and written differently (as in stayed true to the OG) and Aladdin could have been better LOVED Will Smith's Gene and his Songs he was the BEST part of this movie Aladdin was okay, Adorable and looked perfect... but lacking the Rizz, Charm and heart of the animated version, it couldve been better then set and costume design 💯, the Handsmaid and Genie ship and the humour of the Scandinavian Prince = Golden, its literally just Jasmine and her boring portrayal (they lightskin Aunt Viv her!) The -100 chemistry she has with Aladdin and their cringe moments, A whole new world being meh, And Jaffars mid ness that made the love action not great and just okay

[@itsjustme8873]

I love how whether she's in animated *or* live action form, people will find Princess Jasmine attractive 😭 (relatable, so I can't talk smack) I couldn't help but enjoy this remake *mainly* due to Will Smith's charisma, and I actually like that they didn't try so hard to replicate the original Friend Like Me. 'Cause there'll never be another Robin Williams regardless, and god rest his soul! But I am glad that Disney had the right mind to still hire a beloved comedic actor, since Will Smith adds his own little bit of different lines to Genie in this! I would be so curious to see this company do double features of its most-successful/liked originals + their remakes after! Either via streaming or in theaters!

[@itsjustme8873]

And I personally think Aladdin's live-action actor was a better dancer, than trying to act as his character.. But the general public also hasn't seen this actor in any other big roles, so I don't entirely fault him. It's just a bit of a let-down as the movie's title character 😅

[@Disney65Fan]

Jafar sounds like Marlon Brando😂😂😂

[@spencercarroll6363]

Even though this isn't the worst of the live-action Disney remakes, as someone who loves and grew up with the original Aladdin, I honestly wasn't a fan of it. Will Smith as Genie was a mixed bag for me, but whenever he was not CGI, I consider that him at his best in this movie.

Okay first of all: the fact that you’re wearing a sweater from the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Dark Arts Merch is making my inner nerd so happy hehe 💀 And also I have to say as much as I disliked a lot of this movie and generally hate the songs they write for these live action adaptations that usually don’t really fit with the rest of the original songs in the movie and are honestly only put in there so that they’re eligible for awards (Evermore from the live action Beauty in the Beast is garbage next to If I Can’t Love Her, which is that song’s equivalent in the Broadway musical version and actually fits in with the rest of the music), I actually LOVE Speechless. On its own it’s just a beautiful song and Naomi Scott KILLS those vocals. That’s all ☺️

[@119jkwh]

This is my boyfriend and I's favoite live action. I feel the same way about Robbin Williams, but when we really separated the two, Will Smith did amazing and really made the role his own. Its never gonna be as good as the original (In my opinion), but this one was just so beautifully made. Every scene is just gorgeous to look at and the soundtrack is breathtaking. After seeing it a few times Jafar did grow on me but hes still the weakest link (whoops) haha.
