That's right, Aladdin. Released in 1992, it's the 31st film in the Disney Animated Canon. Based on the Arabic folktale, it was the first animated film to make half a billion dollars at the box office. It also was the highest-grossing film of 1992, and received much critical acclaim. It also won two Academy Awards (Best Original Score and Best Original Song), and was nominated for two more. It also is the only Disney film to ever get a Grammy for Song of the Year. The voice cast included Scott Weinger as the title character, Linda Larkin as Princess Jasmine, and most notably, the late Robin Williams as Genie.
Aladdin was a beloved film, getting a couple direct-to-DVD sequels, an animated series spin-off, and even a Broadway play. So, let's take a look at this little franchise's newest offering's trailer, helmed by Guy Ritchie!
That's a big ol' sand dune.
Arabian nighhhhhhhts, like Arabian dayyyyys...
Oh neat, Iago! I hope they got Gilbert Gottfried to reprise the role.
Whoa. The Cave of Wonders looks awesome.
Don't you just hate it when your giant sand lion decides to close its mouth while you're in it?
Careful, Aladdin. You might get quite the surprise. That's Mena Massoud as the title character right there. Cool fact: He was born in Egypt. I hope he does a good job.
Well, this teaser looked pretty neat. I know people tend to get rather...upset about these live-action remakes, but I look at it like this. If this film does turn out to be bad, it won't hurt the original. The original will still exist, and it will still be great. I do hope this film turns out to be good, though.
