    A giant parrot, hallucinating Jasmine, and Casper the Friendly Genie? It's another Disney remake alright, and despite this one being a crowd pleaser, the Nostalgia Critic is anything but amused as he reviews 2019's Aladdin remake.
    Support this week's charity here - cachouston.org/
    Aladdin is a 2019 American musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Guy Ritchie, who co-wrote the screenplay with John August, it is a live-action adaptation of Disney's 1992 animated film of the same name, which is based on the eponymous tale from One Thousand and One Nights. The film stars Will Smith, Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott, Marwan Kenzari, Navid Negahban, Nasim Pedrad, Billy Magnussen, and Numan Acar, as well as the voices of Alan Tudyk and Frank Welker.

The genie is a character that needs to be a big personality and both Robin Williams and Will Smith are big personalities in very different ways.

It’s unfair to children who haven’t seen the originals as they miss out on funny energetic moments.

      People can't fathom that if they originally had the choice between live-action and animated, they would have a strong case for animation for artistic possibilities alone.

    Ah yes. Jasmine, the Disney princess who in the animated version had absolutely no trouble constantly saying exactly what she thought about people and her general situation; who would tell off her father, her father's right-hand man and (as far as she was concerned) a total stranger for objectifying her *multiple times* ; who thought absolutely nothing of going after whatever she wanted regardless of what anyone said or told her what she should be doing... Yes, she *really* needed "fixing" and given a song about not being silenced. God knows she was just *so* passive before...

      "What remains of a man when that man is dead and gone? Only memories and stories of his deeds will linger on. But what if a man's accomplishments aren't in the tale they tell? Are the deeds that go unheralded his legacy as well? If a war breaks out tomorrow, we'll all have hell to pay. Why protect my reputation? I'm a dead man either way. How will they tell my story? How will they tell my tale? Will anybody even care? The question, then, is whether tis nobler in the mind to be well-liked but ineffectual, or moral but maligned. I'll never be a hero all the citizens adore, but if I hide to save my life, what has my life been for? What has my life been for? The road AHEAD MAY TWIST. But I WILL NEVER SWERVE! I'll GIVE THEM ALL THE UNSUNG ANTIHERO THEY DESERVE! I've NOTHING left to lose, so the only path to choose is TWISTED! Let them twist my words, let the people scorn me. Who cares if no-one will ever mourn me? Let them BURY THE SIDE OF THE STORY they'll NEVER LEARN! LET THE TRUTH BE TWISTED! LET MY LIFE BE TWISTED! I'LL BE TWISTED, IT'S MY TURN!"

    That whole Jasmine was the Genie twist. I'm going to say right now, that could have worked. Maybe genies originated in Sherabot, and Jasmine's mother was a genie, maybe her mothers bracelet was the manacle from when she was a Genie and Jafar killed her when he learned she was free and couldn't grant his wishes. That's why he's so focused on Sherabot, if the mother came from there, then there must be other magical artifacts or knowledge. And all the years of repression stopped Jasmine from tapping into her powers, but when Jafar takes over and she sees the Genie, she realizes her mother was a genie and Jasmine, by that lineage gives her the ability to become a Genie, so Jafar uses his sorcery to try and force her to give up her humanity and become his wife, giving up not only her freedom as a woman, but as a human.
    It acts as a way to show how the repression from things like stereotypes or gender roles can harm a person and puts Jasmine's desire for freedom in a much more literal battle, not to mention it provides an interesting story about how Genies come to be. But more importantly it provides an interesting moral that I don't know how to quantify, so I'll explain. Jasmine wants to be treated equally to a man (in that she wants the right to rule). In becoming a Genie, she would have to power to change things, but she would be at the mercy of anybody's whim. She could have ultimate power and in doing so the right to rule, but she chooses not to because if she can't rule on her own terms, she won't do it. Even as I type this I can't fully explain my thought process, so I'll just leave it here.

And an interesting story with nuance (throwing a woman in power is not a magical key to heaven, just like overpowering a female character doesn't magically make her a good female character, etc.) It could actually take gender issues head on instead of...this half ass attempt Hollywood has been pulling for marketing.
      It would build on the universe too. I totally get it!

    @Iamokaywithmimes 4 роки тому +1110

    Just a mild note on one thing he didn't touch on--
    We first meet Jasmine unintentionally stealing from a merchant to feed a kid. In the animated it's believable because she's sheltered and it's obviously her first time out. But in this one... this Jasmine wants to be FUCKING SULTAN. Her straight-up taking it from the table and then being surprised when the merchant gets angry that she has no money makes no sense. This Jasmine is well-read and can read maps and should know all about money and rules of society. Why would she casually take a product and think it'd be okay???
    I get they'd want to keep the intro of both Jasmines the same, but they're different characters, and it just seemed so incredibly off for this one.
    I also thought that she'd mention improving the state of the poor once she's in charge, since Aladdin and poor kids and shit. But it wasn't focused on.

    • @Iamokaywithmimes
      @Iamokaywithmimes 4 роки тому +149

      Imagine if Aladdin took Jasmine to her mother's country Shirabad on the magic carpet ride. It'd be romantic, a meaningful gesture, and we would actually see this country that's apparently so important. And maybe we'd actually learned how she was killed.

      Yeah must admit. I think it would have worked better if she knocked apples onto the ground for the kids and got caught doing it or something. This scene undercut her character from the start in the remake. It's like she's smart and savvy and can run a nation, but doesn't seem to understand the concept of money and payments.

    • @blitzwaffe
      @blitzwaffe 3 роки тому +41

      I think it would make more sense for her to simply pay for the apple and Aladdin somewhat seeing through her disguise. Then Aladdin would try to maybe swindle some money from her only to fall for her and resume the original story.

    It's actually a very nice example of how Jafar's short-sighted lust for power betrays him: he wastes a wish claiming a title he didn't need. Once he's the most powerful sorcerer in the world, he could just MAKE the Sultan abdicate to him. But no, he demands someone bestow the title on him...without earning it, so it doesn't get him anything: "Cool, you're the Sultan, me and the rest of the guards are going to rebel."

    I'm gonna be honest.
    This is the only live action remake I like.
    Literally the only one. I hated Cinderella,I could only tolerate The Beauty and The Beast (Evermore was a bit welcome tbh),and I actually haven't watch The Lion King but I do believe is AWFUL.
    I think I like it cause it *tries* to be different for real,and I guess I just have a weak point for Will Smith who honestly did well as his own Genie,he knew he's not Robbin Williams tho it's obvious Disney did tried to do a copy-paste at some points.
    I do,however,agree with the fact _not being animated is a huge _*_disadvantage_* we have to accept animation give us a bunch of liberties,more expression,more movement,more energy. Animation *is* superior than live action in so many aspects that people forget about,it's almost infuriating to hear live action is superior. Yes,live action and CGI are cool as well,but animation is just so much better for these kind of stories.
    On a side note: I like Speechless. Maybe it's because I heard it way before watching the movie,but I like the song. It's a cool song. For me it's not even entirely Girl Power,many people are tired of their voices not being heard. It's powerful in general.
    *and I guess I wasn't confused at the visuals cause I assumed it was on her head?? And that it wasn't literally there but was all an allegory of her desire???? Idk*

    That was the major disadvantage the "live-action" Lion King had. It wasn't animated. The animals looked TOO real, and they couldn't have the expression you get in animation. They also cut out any "cartoony" bits to maintain the illusion that it was a National Geographic documentary. There was no Timon in a hula skirt. There was no Rafiki doing karate. The "Can't Wait to be King" song was neutered by not having the goofy cartoony parts. Even a giant lion's head in the clouds wasn't realistic enough for it.
