I know a lot of y'all aren't too crazy about disney, but personally, I think they did an amazing job with the live action Aladdin. I know it isn't the same without Robin Williams as the iconic genie, but Will Smith did an incredible job. He didn't try to be Robin Williams. He embodied the genie in a way that made the movie an incredible experience, while still paying respect to the original.

I watched Aladdin so much as a kid, but it has been years since I have seen it, but the minute the music started playing it all came back. The movie kept all of the original songs with just a few tweaks on a couple, and it even had a new song. I loved every minute of each song.

It was a mesmorizing experience. The cast was amazing, and everyone did such an incredible job bringing the movie to life.


Also Aladdin is loosely based off a short story in "One thousand and one nights," so it counts for May's challenge.
