Aladdin is directed by Guy Ritchie and is the 2019 live-action remake of the same 1992 Disney property of the same name, directed by duo Ron Clements and John Musker. Aladdin has had a troubling route onto the screen more so than its live-action companions such as Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast or even Dumbo for that matter due to one inexplicable reason. That of course began with the casting of Will Smith as the Genie, but it didn’t end there as the controversy soared when the first snippet of footage was released, showing a distinctly bulkier and vivid version of such a beloved character.

So, let me begin by saying that personally I’m not much of a fan of Guy Ritchie. He isn’t a film maker I strive to watch, and I haven’t enjoyed much of what I have seen of his output, so I was concerned and a little skeptical when I first heard that Ritchie would be directing the live-action remake of Aladdin.
Aladdin, oh how I love the original animated classic. I remember going to the cinema back in 1992, a nine year-old kid with a Genie toy on his lap, and watching this magnificent, magical, beautiful film unfold on the screen. I loved it. I still do, and I go back to it every year.
