Here’s everything you might have missed in Disney’sAladdin.
Where’s the bread?
However, the titular protagonist’s stolen goods in the 2019 remake differ greatly from the animated version’s.
Even Smith was hesitant to take on the role, as he admittedin an interviewwith Ellen DeGeneres.
As fans of the original likely remember, Princess Jasmine’sbest friend was Rajah her super protective pet tiger.
In fact, Rajah was pretty much Jasmine’sonlyfriend.
The Guy Ritchie-directed film featured some seriously feminist themes throughout, and we aresohere for it.
Instead, this princess wants the ability tobethe Sultan not marry a Sultan.
And in a welcome surprise-twist at the end of the film, Jasmine finally gets her wish.
Also lacking from the original was a musical number for Princess Jasmine, aside from her duet with Aladdin.
Thankfully, the 2019 live-action remake features an empowering solo song for the princess, entitled"Speechless.
The genie is a … human?
However, this version of Smith isn’t big, blue, or Genie-like at all.
He’s just a regular dude from a fictionalized version of Arabia.
So, what gives?
Much like in the original, our titular hero uses his final wish to set Genie free.
However, this doesn’t take away from the moment Genie finally becomes a free man.
In thelive-action versionof the tune, however, “barbaric” is nowhere to be found.
In fact, the villain’s good looks left many anAladdinfan confused about where exactly their loyalties lie.
However, not everyone was impressed by Kenzari’s portrayal of the villain.
But honestly, the only thing he lacks is the voice to go along with his animated counterpart."
However, Guy Ritchie’s remake did provide some background concerning Jasmine’s mother, unlike its animated counterpart.
