Too bad they're saving him for trailer #2.

Too bad we don’t get Robin Williams.

Hmm. I don’t get the point of remaking their animated classics in live action with the exact same scenes and the exact same story.

(Of course money is the reason but I mean creatively...)

At least put a new spin on the tale, like they did with Maleficent. I thought that was an interesting take on a classic fairy tale.

The ‘whole new world’ magic carpet ride is such an iconic scene... I wonder how it will compare in live action?

Too soon

But will Aladdin tell the princess to take off her clothes in this version?

There's more freakin' CGI in those Disney "live action" movies than actual live action.

It's basically just remaking an animated film with updated animation, and a few shots of some live actors thrown in for shits and giggles.

We Are Borg · Oct 14, 2018

Also, the original politically-incorrect version of Aladdin will obviously always be the better film.

Hell, even Disney started chopping out the bad bits for the home video releases.

About the money angle:

One of the Screenwriters of the Original Aladdin Has a Big Complaint About the Remake

Hint: it involves money.

Recently, we got the first teaser of Disney’s live-action remake of Aladdin. It was just a mood piece—though not exactly cryptic, come on, it’s Aladdin—but it revealed the style of the new film and included a couple iconic lines of dialogue. For certain viewers of the teaser, though, like screenwriter Terry Rossio, who has a writing credit on the film, that’s the source of a lot of frustration.

So strange that literally the only words spoken in the new Aladdin trailer happens to be a rhyme that my writing partner and I wrote, and Disney offers zero compensation to us (or to any screenwriters on any of these live-action re-makes) not even a t-shirt or a pass to the park.

— Terry Rossio (@TerryRossio) October 12, 2018

According to Rossio, one of four writers credited on the film, Disney’s live-action remakes are not included in the terms of the deal laid out by the studio for royalties, and as such, Disney is under no legal obligation to compensate creators of the original films.

This is messy but vital stuff. It’s easy to forget that these properties, which often become long-term moneymakers for companies like Disney, were created by people who deserve a fair share for what they create. While I can’t corroborate Rossio’s story—we’ve reached out to Disney and will update if we hear back—it resembles other well publicized cases of creators not getting compensation for their creations or otherwise not getting what they think is a fair share at the bargaining table. Alan Moore and DC Comics comes to mind.

So, when and if you see the new Aladdin, just remember that, well, not everything is sunshine and roses in corporate contract land. It never is.
