Will Smith memes aside, he did such a fantastic job filling the shoes after Robin Williams. He portrayed Genie in his own way without tarnishing what Robin Williams did with the character. You'd be a fool to think Will didn't understand how critical people would be of his role as Genie.
No doubt, this (the song) is one of the most amazing creation of Arabian Night's, however, try the original song in the animated show - it is 10x better than this, this is still amazing but the original, damn, that's just so better and I don't even know why - the singers voice, his Arabic accent.. maybe that.
I remember seeing this scene in Theaters, when he sang the "Arabian Nights", the speaker was blasting at full volume surround sound and it was Eargasm. The movie overall blew my expectations away, it was fantastic, the singing was amazing, it gave me chills, man id pay alot of money to experience that again.
BRO SAME LOL. It was an expierence. No other mobie did that. The music was on a sound booster or something. filled the entire rolm as if you were actually there
Yo I had the exact same experience. But I definitely had eaten a medicated bag of gummies beforehand. 😅Aladdin was my favorite as a child and I was very much anticipating this movie. And it definitely exceeded my expectations.
When you realize the genie must say no and then oblige their requests quite often for them to have no reaction because he spent centuries having no choice to say no. Even though he wants to give his kids the world, he still revels in the freedom he was granted.
That's an interesting theory, although I thought it was supposed to be a comedic moment. But yes, it shows that he sang because he wanted to not because they told him to.
Only good live action remake Disney has ever done. They did a great job with not ruining the genie and making him just as good as his own character. Plus the singing and music was fantastic
2:31 when the beat drops the rhythm is just 🤤 edit: and by rhythm i mean the drumming in the background, it just sounds so exotic and beautiful and it gives me goosebumps

I was a kid when I watch Aladdin in 2007 when it was released in 1992. But now I’m a young adult, watching Aladdin 2019, gives me good memories of my childhood. Thank you, movie creator, for creating my favourite cartoon movies into a live action movies
2 months late, but you need to be told that The Jungle Book is THE Disney remake and Beauty and the Beast is really good too. I like this one, but those two are way better.
@@Jenema2 No. They ruined Mulan by removing all the songs. Jungle Book has enough songs and it's by far the best Disney remake. If you can't see that like everyone else, you just have bad taste 🤷🏾♂️
🤦♂️Clearly you don't know a thing about your culture, that if you actually were arabian. foreigners don't live in lalalands, so calm down you humiliate yourself.
The problem is that this movie has also Indian elements. The tiger is called Rajah which is Indian and means King. The actress is indian and will smith and the makers said in an interview that they thought of India and Bollywood by making the dance and costumes. This is unfortunately no real Arab culture representation.
Three things I loved about this remake: 1. All the original songs are faithfully remade and the story is mostly intact 2. The "twist" at the end of the movie with Genie. (That's enough of a spoiler alert) 3. As an Arab I loved that 3 main characters are actually of Arab ethnic roots! :)
Oh, imagine a land, it's a faraway place Where the caravan camels roam Where you wander among every culture and tongue It's chaotic, but hey, it's home When the wind's from the east And the sun's from the west And the sand in the glass is right Come on down, stop on by Hop a carpet and fly To another Arabian night As you wind through the streets at the fabled bazaars With the cardamom-cluttered stalls You can smell every spice While you haggle the price Of the silks and the satin shawls Oh, the music that plays as you move through a maze In the haze of your pure delight You are caught in a dance, you are lost in the trance Of another Arabian night Arabian nights Like Arabian days More often than not are hotter than hot In a lot of good ways Arabian nights Like Arabian dreams This mystical land of magic and sand Is more than it seems There's a road that may lead you to good or to greed Through the power your wishing commands Let the darkness unfold or find fortunes untold Well, your destiny lies in your hands Only one may enter here One whose worth lies far within A diamond in the rough Arabian nights Like Arabian days They seem to excite, take off and take flight To shock and amaze Arabian nights 'Neath Arabian moons A fool off his guard could fall and fall hard Out there on the dunes
I really like this remake, I like how it goes along with the original, it’s very similar. It doesn’t just go off the rails and change the characters. Also I really enjoyed this song.
I have to say, i didn't watch original Aladdin before this live action (!!!), and when the 2:30 hit, i got goosebumps all over. Since I didnt have an original movie to compare with, for me this was a superb film.
Friend like Me and Prince Ali were amazing performances with great cinematography and dancing, I don't think they could have done better. In Friend like Me they recreated part of the scene from Stormy Weather where the Nicholas Brothers do the splits down the stairs, I thought that was cool and most people probably didn't notice.
I believe he was playing with his kids .. he acted like he was leaving, then turned around suddenly and started singing. Plus, you could see the kids smiling when the dad turned his back. They knew he was tricking them.
I remember hearing how many people disliked this movie but for me it’s my favorite Disney remake. Great music, fantastic set design and the acting and choreography is good too. I think they could’ve picked a different actor for Aladdin but other than that I really liked it
@@tahmidtarique6077 Honestly I won't say it's flawless but compared to some of the others this makes those look like a joke. Lady and the Tramp, Beauty and the Beast are fairly similar in quality but those three are the only remakes I watch.
If I could have one complaint, is that I wish we got to see Aladdin and Jasmine interact with his kids, but I don’t think that ever happens in the original Aladdin
Went into this movie with the lowest of expectations but when I first saw this in the theater I legit got goosebumps. The instrumentation is phenomenal!
First time I heard this song I was in the car on my way back home with my family. I had my headphones on, it was late, I was tired. THE moment I heard the first seconds of this song, I was like '' HMMMMMMMM interesting, show me more'' Dude...I fell in a TRANCE. I had goosebumps- I loved it so much I wasn't tired anymore. Since that day, I listen to this song and I keep loving it. TYSM Will Smith u made my days better.
I remmber watching the cartoon i was 10 and when the song started i was so happyand excited. Here i am in my 30's watching the song again and still am amazed and excited ❤️ and will smith is one of my favourite actors. I just know whatever movie he got role in, he s making it excellent.
This movie really brought the Aladdin cartoon to life. Will Smith did an amazing job playing the genie and singing the song.

2:35 the best part of the song in my opinion
@Jim is Good lmao
This is such a beautiful opening... like a fairytale with real people has it's own brilliance
I love to see Atlantis get the live action treatment
One of my favorites, but it probably won’t happen 😩
Go watch Aqua man to compensate
Atlantis was a box office failure in Disney’s eyes. Why would they ever do that?
Naww bro treasure planet!! Or el Dorado
Nah bro let’s see toy story or little mermaid live action @conner bushert

No doubt the best live action that disney has ever done
I disagree, I think the Little Mermaid is the best so far, but each to their own.
One of my favorite movies of all-time! This iconic and bombastic opening scene really sets the tone, it's so wonderful!
Oh, imagine a land, it's a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where you wander among every culture and tongue
It's chaotic, but hey, it's home
When the wind's from the east
And the sun's from the west
And the sand in the glass is right
Come on down, stop on by
Hop a carpet and fly
To another Arabian night
As you wind through the streets at the fabled bazaars
With the cardamom-cluttered stalls
You can smell every spice
While you haggle the price
Of the silks and the satin shawls
Oh, the music that plays as you move through a maze
In the haze of your pure delight
You are caught in a dance, you are lost in the trance
Of another Arabian night
Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
More often than not are hotter than hot
In a lot of good ways
Arabian nights
Like Arabian dreams
This mystical land of magic and sand
Is more than it seems
There's a road that may lead you to good or to greed
Through the power your wishing commands
Let the darkness unfold or find fortunes untold
Well, your destiny lies in your hands
Only one may enter here
One whose worth lies far within
A diamond in the rough
Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
They seem to excite, take off and take flight
To shock and amaze
Arabian nights
'Neath Arabian moons
A fool off his guard could fall and fall hard
Out there on the dunes
