Live Action Aladdin Film Review

Cast- Will Smith, Naomi Scott, Mena Massoud and Marwan Kenzari

Director- Guy Ritchie

Synopsis- Another live-action remake of one of Disney's animated classics "Aladdin" is a story about a street rat Aladdin who is courageous yet self- determined to win over Princess Jasmine and the only way to make this possible is through the Genie as it is believed that the Genie is the key to Aladdin's future with the Princess.

Review- Again another good live-action remake from Disney it is one of the better ones you'll be pleased to hear again like Dumbo there were changes to the storyline but they weren't as drastic as Dumbo more subtle was the approach used. The stand out in the film is the Genie such as a refreshing approach to this well-loved character, I was unsure purely because I love the original Genie but I thought Will Smith's take on this character was outstanding. The music was at it's normal Disney standard outstanding however with this live-action remake a new song was added a solo for Jasmine and wow what a tune the voice and song were one another level hats off to Alan Menken on creating such as masterpiece of a Princess solo. I felt like this film was the love child of the original animation and the musical version and I was down for that. It is however not my favourite live-action Christopher Robi still has that crown, for now, Lion King is not out yet so who knows. personally, I think Aladdin is well worth seeing as it is an amazing live action remake for reference below I am going to put my favourite live actions in order so it is easy to see where Aladdin and others stand in the grand scheme of live-action remakes.

I have been slacking and I do apologise. There have been a few pieces of news since I have last made a post like this firstly there are has been some new in terms of Tsum Tsum's. Three of the releases are for Japan, Hong Kong and the US Disney Parks. Firstly Japan has re-released the core set of Marvel Tsums so these really are not of interest to me but the set includes Captain Marvel, Spider-Man, Thor, Loki, Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, Ant-Man and Black Widow. From what I have read the Loki Tsum in new. My favourite Tsum in this set is Loki. Japan has also released some Sakura Tsum Tsum's this set comes in a Sakura tree similar to the tree the easter set came in last year. This set includes Chip, Dale, Donald and Daisy, these Tsums have expressions on their faces, I do like this set but its a bit boring. Along with this bag set they released Sakura Tsums of Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger. Again I do like these Tsums but they are a bit boring. My favourite

Tsum Tsum News

It seems like whenever I upload a news post they seem to release a ton of new Tsums, this is the most I have seen in a while but sadly none of it is for the UK just the US, Hong Kong and Japan. Firstly the US released some Mickey 90th Tsums these were Mickey and friends Tsums in birthday style outfits this set included Mickey, Minnie, Chip, Dake, Daisy, Donald, Pluto and Goofy. I do like this set and will be purchasing them if they come to the UK as they seem to have redone the Mickey and friends for this set which is nice to see. My favourite in this set in Pluto and some of the Tsums have expressions. Japan has released some Valentines couples Tsum Tsum's these sets are connected by a woolly scarf. These sets are Mickey and Minnie, Donald and Daisy and Thumper and Miss Bunny. Personally, I am not a fan of these sets I would prefer if they would use different characters as they seem t use the same character every Valentines.
