Type by hand... Like a PEASANT?

Nah, it was about the new songs. The board does that when I copy and paste titles. It wants me to type it by hand Rolling Eyes

AG - Your new post doesn't have a subject, so I can't access it again now that I've read it. It was quoting Mena talking about the differences between the 2019 and 1992 movies, yes?

It's probably just me then.

I think it's pleasantly vibrant. Not dull but also not too vibrant. Just gives you the feeling of it being a fairy tale and that magic is present in the world.

He looks good to me Wink

I was actually worried it would be too vibrant, like OUAT style.

Let’s hope you are right. Wouldn’t be surprised if there were others like him.

Yeah, I was surprised as well how vibranr t the colors were. Definitely a welcomed touch there.
Really hope they will keep the color codes they had in the original. Sure it wasn’t a complicated one, but it was enough to really show how a character is in general.

I still kinda debate if I like this Aladdin or not. He looked alright, but for me something was off, not really that handsome. Pretty sure later on I will get used to it, but atm not that impressed with him (guess I have been spoiled with how Aladdin looks in the original)

Really hope we will see the other characters as well soon, including the new ones.

Unless you're Meesh's boss, everyone else should know the story by now Laughing

That was definitely Friend Like Me and Arabian Nights in the beginning

I appreciate they kept the color scheme as close to the original as possible, too. I was worried it would look really dull, but it's quite vibrant.

I'm honestly impressed so far. Agrabah looks gorgeous, the music is fantastic (was that Friend Like Me close the end, just with a more epic tune?) and even the Cave of Wonders looks quite nice, though I admit at first it looked weird, even if I see what they were going with that.

My only complain is that it's too short and doesn't tell much about the movie itself, but that's teasers for ya. Hopefully we will be getting more information soon.

I won't deny, even if I had doubts and still do, I'm very excited about the movie now. Very Happy

People complaining that Naomi Scott isn't in the trailer is a not so subtle reminder of how much the Disney Princess franchise has taken over everything. - including the one movie that isn't about the princess Laughing

. It is literally Aladdin's movie, are y'all serious?

I see how Jafar is able to get away with everything already.

He better still have a toy collection Laughing

Just went to Wikipedia to confirm. I was thinking of Hakim and Billy Magnussen (mushed them together).

Weren't there early mentions of Jafar having a sidekick? Isn't that the white guy everyone got their panties knotted about?

Looks like the cave is a lion too. (My bf and I were just debating the other day if the cave is a tiger or a lion.)

Jafar on the middle left there. One of his men (the guards?) threw Aladdin towards the cave so I'm wondering how that plays out cause it doesn't seem like it's the uncle angle from the original or the crazy old beggar angle.
