In Disney’s live-action Aladdin remake, Jafar does not bother with the disguise. So, Jafar captures Aladdin, poses as an old prisoner, breaks him out of custody and tricks him into retrieving the lamp for a promised reward. In order to retrieve the magic lamp inside, he must enlist the one “diamond in the rough” whom the cave will allow, which happens to be Aladdin. In Disney’s Aladdin, Jafar’s hunger for power leads him in the direction of the Cave of Wonders, a sentient temple of great fortune and mysticism. (Image credit: Disney) Jafar Lures Aladdin Into The Cave Of Wonders More Conspicuously The most intriguing update is Will Smith’s approach to performing Genie’s magnum opus. The most pivotal update is the addition of the song specially written for Princess Jasmine called “Speechless,” which Naomi Scott sings at two crucial moments of the film. The end credits feature new, additional versions of “Friend Like Me,” by Smith and DJ Khaled, and “A Whole New World,” this time a duet by Zayn Malik and Zavia Ward. Will Smith’s rendition of “Arabian Nights” amends the original song’s controversial lyrics. Of course the new creative team brought all the original songs back, but with a few new twists. However, Disney decided it would be best to leave those songs untouched and provide a whole new set of original songs for Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin. Needless to say, the music by Alan Menken is key to the animated movie’s iconography. So millions of people have seen the Aladdin cartoon.(Image credit: Disney) Alan Menken’s Aladdin Song Catalog Has Been Updatedĭisney’s Aladdin won two Academy Awards in 1993 for Best Original Score and Best Original Song (“A Whole New World”).

The live-action remake does not yet have a release date. The original film featured Scott Weinger as Aladdin, Linda Larkin as Princess Jasmine, Jonathan Freeman as Jafar, Gilbert Gottfried as Iago and the late Robin Williams as the Genie. Posted by Will Smith on Wednesday, September 6, 2017 We just started shooting Aladdin and I wanted to intro you guys to our new family… Mena Massoud/Aladdin, Naomi Scott/Princess Jasmine, Marwan Kenzari/Jafar, and I’m over here gettin my Genie on. Many, however, viewed the casting of Magnussen to be the biggest misstep yet. Last month, some found it odd that an attractive actor was cast as the villainous Jafar. The casting of a non-Arab actress as Jasmine quickly drew criticism, while others defended the decision given the film’s fictional setting of Agrabah. Then, just days later at the D23 Expo, it was revealed that Mena Massoud (Aladdin), Naomi Scott (Princess Jasmine) and Will Smith (Genie) were cast in their respective roles. In July, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Disney was struggling to cast actors of Middle Eastern or Indian descent who could both act and sing for the lead roles. Since their announcement, however, casting choices have been met with backlash. “Aladdin” producer Dan Lin assured fans in February that they were seeking a diverse cast in order to create a more “authentic” movie. After Disney announced their latest live-action project last year, petitions against whitewashing were created given Hollywood’s whitewashing trend.
