"You ain't never had a friend like me!"
Disney week came early this month! For our third week of Aladdin Month, Drew and Cassie discuss Disney's 1992 animated film, the 2019 live action movie, the 2011 Broadway musical, and much more! We talk about our personal memories and connections to Disney's version of Aladdin before delving into the plot specifics of the animated movie. Then we talk about the differences made for the live action movie and the Broadway musical, and then we go even further by looking at some of the changes made for Aladdin, Jr. and Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular at the California Adventure theme park. We discuss the Disney+ stereotype warning, the various iterations of Iago, the casting issues across all versions, Aladdin as the "diamond in the rough," Jasmine's naiveté contrasted with her strength, Robin Williams' Genie vs. Will Smith's Genie vs. the Broadway Genie, the adaptation from screen to stage, ways in which Disney nods to the original fairy tale, Aladdin's appearances in the theme parks, and much more!
