1:46:48 Sideways does a good video about this. He talks about how, in the animated Beauty and the Beast, you can hear Paige O'Hare SMILING in the booth as she's singing. And like, it is true. I'm stage managing a show right now. A staged version of a radio show. There are some instances that we tell the actors to smile. And it REFLECTS in their line delivery. You could close your eyes and just listen to the show, and you can just HEAR that they are invested in their character. That vocal performance is not just in the voice, but it is in your entire body. You embody the emotions. You feel them. The song is the emotions. The most beautiful songs in musicals are not these grandiose performances, they are extensions of intense emotion. It literally is the basic formula of a Disney musical movie. When the emotions get too intense, you sing. When they get even more intense? You dance. My biggest criticism of Disney's new live action movies (or realistically animated movies) is that there is no emotion. They are afraid to let their characters have emotions. Too afraid to let them fail and learn. They just slap some comedy in and call it a day. Yes, the comedic elements are memorable, but the emotional beats are what make the Disney animated movies just as spectacular as they are. The music is the core of the movies. You cannot remove them and make a story that makes sense - they are the cornerstone of the movie. When you remove them, you remove the emotional beats. When you strip the actor's ability to have a flawed character, you are holding back your actor's ability to actually perform. The biggest fail of these movies comes from an emotional level. The most emotional, raw, and beautiful performances are not perfect. They have flaws. Those flaws show those intense emotions. When Disney autotunes them out, you're left with an okay performance and enough of an idea to keep a story rolling, but not a performance that actually tells the story. You scrub the character, the emotion from the song. These songs exist because the emotions are too intense to speak.... But, what happens when you remove the vocal performance? The emotions are no longer there. So, when you remove the emotions from a part of the story that is deeply emotional.... you are left with the shell of something that once was. You remove the whole point of the song to begin with. Why sing when the emotions are not there? Is there a justification for singing? No.
I know, right??? Just look at The Prince of Egypt. It has some of the most powerful music and songs in the entire history of animated film. You can feel the slaves' suffering in "Deliver Us", God's wrath in "Thus Saith the Lord", and even the Hebrew's freedom in "When You Believe".
I agree and understand your points about the live action remakes not letting emotional moments with their characters sink in, but what do you mean by their recent animated films, are you referring to Encanto, Raya, etc?
@@thesapphireone I don't think I mentioned animated movies. When I said "realistically animated movies," I was referring to the "live action" Lion King. (Even tho the only part of that movie that was live action was the sunrise in the beginning of the movie, the rest of it was animated.) I don't think Disney's animated films have this issue, it's really only a live action Disney movie issue tbh
41:33 You’re actually right; that bit was in fact improvised by Gilbert Gottfried. And even better? That particular improv made it into the movie because it made _Robin Williams_ laugh.
The people who make these movies and try to turn every female character into what they think is strong and independent female characters consistently forget that people who are actually strong and independent don't keep bringing it up. They're confident enough about who they are that they just ARE that (you know like Jasmine in the original movie), they don't need to violently shake you and scream "I'M STRONG AND INDEPENDENT! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BELEIVE ME! CLAP FOR ME PLEASE!,"
It's almost like female characters are not allowed to be people anymore. Theyre just there to get people talking about how strong they are and also not allowed to be flawed. 2023 has been a nice year for female characters....most of them. Yeh.
@@Victoria-sm1sj Not in the original. In the original, Jasmine was sassy, shrewd, brave, confident, feisty and had absolutely no tolerance for any kind of disrespect. Heck, she even has sex appeal and is aware of it. She also had character flaws like having a short temper and being impulsive and vulnerable to her ego, which honestly makes her feel like a realistic girl in her late teens. Plus, something that the remake didn't understand is that in the original, Jasmine is the catalyst for his self-acceptance. She's not some boy-crazy Valley girl, she is the one who instills in Aladdin the notion that he shouldn't equate self-worth with materialism, as she herself would trade all her possessions and royal privileges for freedom.
This is gone be such a joy to watch. Recording this was so much fun not falling asleep during the recording surtenly helped with that but man the original movie is so good!
I found this video SO HARD to get through when it came to the Live Action remake. Not because of you guys. YOU GUYS HELPED ME THROUGH IT. It was the remake itself warning me out. I had never watched it and that’s because we’re in the age where we don’t have to watch a film to know it’s bad. Predictability. I’m sorry parents of 2022, but you can tell me to never judge a book by it’s cover before watching the emoji movie (I’m not kidding, my parents have legitimately said they liked it and I can tell they said such so they can *sound* right 🙄), but I’ll be waiting on Rotten Tomatoes a whole *2 Hours Later* when you return from the slop that is Disney’s unoriginality and lack of faith in original films in the present day. Now, for the original film. That, I also haven’t seen in years. There is so much more I appreciate now! I love Will Smith’s work, but he’ll never…in *TEN THOUSAND YEEEEEAAAAARRRRRSSSS* …ever top Williams’ performance as the superior Genie. Thanks again for helping me through another Disney milk-toasted slog of a Live Action remake, saved by your guy’s super entertaining commentary! 😁
Fun fact: Genie's outfit (Goofy hat and all) at the end of the animated film is an inside joke referencing a film that Robin Williams did for Disney MGM Studios a few years before Aladdin where he wears that exact same outfit.
I watched Aladdin 1992 and my god it was so good but I also felt immense pain and sadness knowing we’re never ever going to get something that good from Disney ever again
If there’s one good thing I can say about Aladdin 2019, it’s what made me see and fall in love with the original as soon as I did. My grandma showed me just about all the classic Disney movies as a kid through vhs tapes, however, she lost her Aladdin one, so I missed out on it for years. Until early 2019, when I was twelve and I knew my mom wanted to go see the remake, so I finally watched the original through a TH-cam playlist and I fell in love with it. But man, do I wish I grew up with it like I did with Lion King and Beauty and the Beast. 😓
"There was Far From Home... that's like the one diamond in the rough" "Well..." He knows what he has to do but he doesn't know if he has the strength to do it
When the Jasmine song happened, I was not moved at all. I was like “Oh okay, this is happening now”. Also: 2 HOURS! Why is this remake so long! Why would I watch this when I could watch the original, which is much better, TWICE in the same SITTING! This is an edit: Why does Disney keep making awful remakes of timeless classics?! It doesn’t make any sense in the slightest because A: Why would anyone watch these god awful remakes, knowing they will be bad. B: The people who have Disney Plus could literally watch the original version on Disney Plus or on DVD if they don’t have Disney Plus. Disney is basically wasting money on remakes, when they could have spend it on, oh I don’t know, ORIGINAL IDEAS! They can’t just rely on making remakes, and expect them to make a lot of money! They need to be creative and put time, thought, and effort in their films, ESPECIALLY THE STORY of their films. If they keep going down on this path, they might go bankrupt in the future, maybe not in a year or 5; But they can’t keep doing this forever.
"Unlike a sequel, it can't actually harm the characters of the original" I find that debatable tbh - a remake can be considered so iconic or even superior to the original film, that fans, or even the general populace, will consider it canon over the original movie. Specifically, I've seen people trashing on the 1989 Ariel in favor of 2023 Ariel
Hey since your doing these audio commentary maybe you can do one on both Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4 in preparation for your Toy Story 3 praise videos.
RIP Robin Williams and Gilbert Gottfried, their comedic genius will never be forgotten. Also, is no one gonna bring up The Thief and The Cobbler and that whole fiasco with Aladdin 1992 being called a ripoff of it only for The Thief's butchered version to UNO reverse card that notion lol
you guys should watch “twisted: the untold story of a royal vizier” it’s a parody full musical of aladdin on youtube. it completely twists the original story of aladdin in a comedic and compelling way and has some really great original songs. i highly recommend it!
I did a double feature thing like this with Aladdin and its remake and Beauty and the Beast and it's remake and I was so fucking angry at both remakes. I had never even seen Beauty and the Beast before that viewing and I was actually pleasantly surprised about how much I liked the original and so angry at how the Remake was handled because just about every change made the movie worse. I get the feeling like I would be viscerally angry if I ever watch the Mulan remake because I love the original Mulan.
@@Victoria-sm1sj as auto-tuned as the Arabian Nights song is in the remake I do actually really like that version it doesn't really fit the tone of Aladdin but it sounds nice on its own as auto-tuned as it is
@@supernew10doh64 I loved the 1992 version. I think the original is almost always the best. Jafar in particular was very disappointing in the 2019 remake and the wee drowning scene was nowhere near as good as in the original. I think they tried to "fix" it with the wee contract Aladdin signed
@@Victoria-sm1sj oh yeah the original 1992 version is way better I'm just saying that the Arabian Nights song in the remake I don't think sounds bad once you get past the Auto-Tune plus it's cool that they added a lot more lyrics to the Remake version basically extending it.
@@supernew10doh64 Oh yeah your right but the 27 years difference in audio quality helps. The music is very catchy, it plays in your head. I love Arabia and Indian music. Sounds so relaxing. But yeah the 1992 movie, plot, individual characters way way better. But I absolutely agree with your point. Sorry if I misunderstood you
The only remake that I personally consider "good" is the Cinderella remake! The film changes a few things about the original, and its opening works to give context to Ella's situation without having to gloss over her backstory in 1 minute with a narration. You see instead of being told about her parents and how their death affects her The film also shows the stepmother's motivations and why she carries so much disgust for Ella. Tho, the movie isn't perfect, but compared to other remakes, this one (and maybe The Jungle Book) are the most decent.
I don't know if this a controversial opinion, but I feel like if they're gonna do a remake of Aladdin they should have completely scraped the genie's old personality. The original was written with Robin Williams In mind they should have done the same for Will Smith.
Im only like 10 to 11 mins in but on the topic of "background text being changed to other languages for different versions", not only is that a real practise but it is not reserved for the blu-rays or streaming releases. I just came back from watching Strange World and there were a lot of background texts that were very much translated into Spanish. And I've seen this happen with other Disney movies in previous years as well.
I can certainly believe that things are changed to spanish considering a lot of America speaks some sort of spanish. I suppose portuguese and dutch just aren't as lucky. I very clearly recall for example incredibles 2, where text on screen just gets subtitled if it's important enough
@@gugonic2001 Funnily enough, from what I've noticed as a movie go-er, this "practise" of sorts at least in Spanish became more and more commonplace during the 2010s. Older Disney movies, for example, don't have altered text from one language to another. So it must be a modern thing and slowly being incorporated into other languages too.
@@Gwen1661 I'm very sure the first time I remember seeing it, could've been before, but the first time I noticed it was in Toy Story 3. I know that German has translations too. I wonder on whom and what it depends if stuff gets translated to specific languages
I have an explanation about the cave of wonders. In the 2019 version they say that you're not allowed to "take" something but the lamp, as in touch or grab with the intention to keep it, which I think is a good clarification they did in that film but it's meaningless with the amount of garbage surrounding the rest of it
I don’t like the 2019 one as much as the original either but I disagree that Naomi Scott can’t sing because she’s literally a professional singer lol. She belted her heart out with speechless, like I agree that it might’ve not fit with the other songs but it still made sense with the story imo. Also the costume design is way more accurate than the original so I don’t see how it can be bad, plus the colors are so vibrant, especially on jasmine. The embellishments and detail really made it one of the best parts to look at imo. And the carpet ride is a night scene so I don’t really know what they could’ve done with that in live action to make it as colorful as the original tbh. For the animation the artists stuck to mainly using the primary colors: red, blue and yellow, which wouldn’t really make sense for live action tbh. Also ik those backgrounds must’ve been a pain for the cgi artists to do so I give them props for that. Plus I thought they did a great job modernizing a whole new world a little bit, so that’s what I was really paying attention to when I saw it. It was never gonna be as good as the original but I think they did a decent job overall and if anything, to me, Naomi and Mena’s chemistry really held this movie together.
Not me crying during A Whole New World during this like I always do when watching the original Aladdin?! The new one, like all of the new adaptations, never should’ve happened.
I thought Aladdin was...fine. For someone who barely has any emotional attachment to it like I do The Incredibles or Toy Story, I think I was drunk when I watched it so it just flew right past me. Also, I love Cinemasins breaking down whenever the plot squeezed Another CGI Bird scene in when he reviewed this.
At least you can say with Castellaneta, he tried to keep up the spirit of Robin Williams while still being as animated as him. Besides, Dan was only in a DVD sequel, a tv show I don’t think anyone I know remembers, and a PS1 game where Aladdin has cleavage on his back.
I’m always fond of the carpet escape from the cave scene because of a weird game I played at Disney I believe that let you actually play out that sequence. I can’t recall if it was at Disney world, but I do remember it was DEFINITELY not a normal game on a console.
If Jasmine is a rich princess and feels bad for the poor kids why won't she just buy them bread, help them find a home or something? Why does she have to be sneaky about it? People would love her!
If you’re referring to the logo that appears every few seconds, that’s a necessity to prevent these commentary videos from being blocked for copyright.
Aladdin is a movie that gets better each time I watch it. Same story as the Lion King remake, saw some clips, thought it looked bad, no interest. To give a little more detail, it was mainly the Prince Ali scene and Jafar’s wimpy voice. Jonathan Freeman is one of the best Disney villain voices, so that was painful to discover
I don’t think the Aladdin remake is terrible, I actually enjoyed it. It’s pretty tolerable in my opinion, unlike some other live action remakes…. (Jon Favero….)
Aladdin was a million times better than Aladdin
Definitely
Comparing Aladdin with Aladdin is basically a whole new world
Aladdin was never a friend like Aladdin.
Aladdin is GOATED compared to Aladdin
HOW DARE YOU! Aladdin just a leagues better than Aladdin

And the carpet ride is a night scene so I don’t really know what they could’ve done with that in live action to make it as colorful as the original tbh. For the animation the artists stuck to mainly using the primary colors: red, blue and yellow, which wouldn’t really make sense for live action tbh. Also ik those backgrounds must’ve been a pain for the cgi artists to do so I give them props for that. Plus I thought they did a great job modernizing a whole new world a little bit, so that’s what I was really paying attention to when I saw it. It was never gonna be as good as the original but I think they did a decent job overall and if anything, to me, Naomi and Mena’s chemistry really held this movie together.
Not me crying during A Whole New World during this like I always do when watching the original Aladdin?! The new one, like all of the new adaptations, never should’ve happened.
Disney Make a black Tarzan remake cowards I wanna see them try that
I thought Aladdin was...fine. For someone who barely has any emotional attachment to it like I do The Incredibles or Toy Story, I think I was drunk when I watched it so it just flew right past me.
Also, I love Cinemasins breaking down whenever the plot squeezed Another CGI Bird scene in when he reviewed this.
I want you guys to do an audio commentary of my movie when it comes out.
There was a live action Tarzan?
Who's worse at playing the Genie? Dan Castellaneta or Will Smith?
it's hard, since i don't want to offend either, but it's probably castellaneta
At least you can say with Castellaneta, he tried to keep up the spirit of Robin Williams while still being as animated as him. Besides, Dan was only in a DVD sequel, a tv show I don’t think anyone I know remembers, and a PS1 game where Aladdin has cleavage on his back.
I remember first seeing the live action Aladdin and loving it ( I had never seen the original up to that point) looking back it is NOT good!
I’m always fond of the carpet escape from the cave scene because of a weird game I played at Disney I believe that let you actually play out that sequence. I can’t recall if it was at Disney world, but I do remember it was DEFINITELY not a normal game on a console.
CHEESE and I'm still appalled by the "buy you" scene. To think this dogshit made over a billion at the box office!
The Dumbo remake also came out in 2019
Also, C H E E S E
Thoughts on Lemonade Mouth? I think it's a high 6/10
If Jasmine is a rich princess and feels bad for the poor kids why won't she just buy them bread, help them find a home or something? Why does she have to be sneaky about it? People would love her!
Hey for Christmas time, how about you watch home alone one and two as a commentary?
Wish granted!
13:07 I remember that one.
So it's not gonna have like watermarked scenes like the wreck it Ralph video?
If you’re referring to the logo that appears every few seconds, that’s a necessity to prevent these commentary videos from being blocked for copyright.
@@GamingMagic13 Maybe in the future you could do full commentary videos so people could sync the actual film with it?
I wish to see the back to back reactions of Beauty and the Beast (as i liked both the live action and the original)
Aladdin is a movie that gets better each time I watch it. Same story as the Lion King remake, saw some clips, thought it looked bad, no interest. To give a little more detail, it was mainly the Prince Ali scene and Jafar’s wimpy voice. Jonathan Freeman is one of the best Disney villain voices, so that was painful to discover
Can you do a full commentary track pleasr
I don’t think the Aladdin remake is terrible, I actually enjoyed it. It’s pretty tolerable in my opinion, unlike some other live action remakes…. (Jon Favero….)
