Top Comments of this video!! :3
This is definitely the best of the musical live action adaptations, Mena is an excellent Aladdin (Hollywood please cast him in things!!). Naomi is so perfect as Jasmine, and Speechless is an utterly phenomenal song. the best animated to live action overall is Cinderella (2015), but this is a very close second.

As a former Disney entertainment cast member who spent a lot of time with Jasmine, this was so exciting for me to see! I agree with your notes. One thing I will say, is I didnāt mind Will Smith bringing some rap elements to the Genie. He was very humble in acknowledging that Robin Williams ādidnāt leave a lot of room for improvementā in the role, and it almost kept Will from taking it. I believe he said what helped him was taking a step back to see what he could bring to the Genie. Robin Williams was obviously an incredible impressionist and they brought that to the cartoon Genie. Instead of Will copying that aspect of the role, he leaned into his Fresh Prince persona and brought that to Genie. When I look at it from that perspective, I can appreciate it more and see how each actor brought their own āsignatureā to this iconic role. Overall, agreed with everything else you said! (Also I think Will was CGIād in Genie rather than painted blue and enlarged, so your āuncanny valleyā comment is spot on!) thank you for reviewing this! It made me smile š

What I did like about this version of Aladdin is that it was just enough different from the cartoon version that it could stand alone. I like when Disney makes the live action movies to stand on their own instead of try to match exactly like the original. I loved cruella the live action of 101 dalmatians :) that doesn't have a ton of music but it is a good one. Another great reaction Hannah keep it up :)

Will Smith said that was very stressful to be the Genie bc Robin did an amazing job, but he did NOT tried to be like him, because he didn't wanted to mess with Robin. Will did his best to make his version of the character, that's why there's the rap moments, and they make sense cause tecnically Genie somehow knows about the past and the future and he would know about hip hop and future things that people didn't know.

A lot of people said they hated the versions of "Speechless" as it gave Jasmine more of a feminist role, I thought it only added to her charcater. The growl in "Speechless" is just awesome, I can't ever get it right when I try to sing that song. I LOVED Will Smith as the Geini, I think he did a great job in singing and everythign. There was/is some behind the scenes videos of the trio working on some fo the songs and they all looked like they were having a blast! I think you need to do Phantom of The Opera next, maybe with Sierra Boggess, or even Sweeny Todd with Angela Lansbury! <3 your show Hannah!

I love the live action Aladdin, from the vocals to the choreography - it's all just beautifully done. Also that scene where the genie controls Aladdin while dancing, I think Mena Massoud does such a fantastic job here. I also love that they adapted the ending so Jasmine can change the law to choose who she marries. Naomi Scott singing Speechless gives me chills every time.

Naomi Scott sang part of the second speechless live on the set which made it all the more impressive
