The 1992 Aladdin animated movie is one of my favourite Disney movies -- because of Robin Williams' hilarious Genie, and "A Whole New World" -- and I'm happy to say that this live-action remake is charming in its own right.
Disney held its D23 Expo this past weekend. For the uninitiated, it is their biennial fan event in Anaheim showcasing exclusive sneak peeks at what's happening in the entertainment brands under Disney, including star-studded presentations for their animation and live-action series and films, parks and resorts, and more.
There are a lot of awards-baiting movies coming out soon, and while I have absolutely no doubt they are good/great, I just have zero interest in watching them. Like I said before, they just don't have the cast and/or subject matter to interest me.
I'm all for fairytales and romance and everything, but this fairytale should have stayed a book.
