Eh, seems like the message is sports solves everything.

Looks like they're trying it again with a different spin. Can you dig it?

You damn right!

Will Smith's Aladdin is a thing of nightmares.

The whole thing looks terrible. Disney seems to be entering a long slow slide into the land of mediocre, but financially justifiable, film making. Like the last time they tried to do a bunch of live action films but perhaps worse since these aren't even based on new ideas.

Ehhh. Disney rises and falls. I can't be the only one who remembers the WOnderful World of Disney movies on sunday nights? Quality was very iffy for a while.

On the one hand, Will Smith's Genie is just... wrong. It gives off this uncanny valley feeling like nothing I've seen recently, it feels like its divorced from the rest of the screen.

On the other hand, Jafar looks like he's put some good money into his Royal Vizier cosplay. I hope I can get a picture with him.

I just wish they wouldn’t turn animation into real life movies. Any of them. I know they need to churn out cash, but one of the lessons of Spider-Verse is that some things work better as animation. Like literally the form is superior.

yeah I'm thinking about what happened between sleeping beauty and the little mermaid. Live action beauty and the beast was silly this looks even worse.

I don't know, but if he isn't voiced by Brad Dourif, I'm out.

It's not him. The only way that works is if the doll never talks.

And how is Aubrey Plaza that kids mom. She's, like, 25.

The ironic thing with at least the live action Beauty and the Beast is that some of the worst elements were animated. The CGI character designs for the Beast and much of the household were terrible and ignored the basic principles of animation.

Meanwhile, Disney Animation Studios keeps knocking them out of the park, continuing the good run they've had since Tangled. I was legitimately surprised by how good Wreck It Ralph 2 was after dismissing it as a wholly unnecessary sequel.

34! You're old!

My favorite comment about the Aladdin teaser is: "Jafar sounds like a YouTube makeup artist"

It came...

... from south of the border!

No Beirut. Epic fail.

Last month, I remembered that Beirut was a good band that exists only to learn that they had a new album coming out in, at the time, two weeks. That was at least the third time that has happened. So, I guess I should stop forgetting that Beirut exists.

I hope this one isn't stretched out into a twelve hour long trilogy with unnecessary love side plots and grandiose battle sequences.

The trailer's scenes happen in the first five minutes, the next hour and a half are just Tolkien sitting at a desk making up elfish words.

Looks epic, and surprisingly serious.

Still better than the Hobbit(s).

Anything is better than The Hobbit.

The book, I mean. The movie's fine.

Agreed on the Hobbit movie, it's awesome. But how could a book be bad yet create this kind of awesomeness?

I can't be, is the answer.

Wow, I didn’t want a sequel to Frozen... but that teaser changed that!

So it's Frozen 2: X-Men Origins?

STILL never seen Frozen.

Yup. That's a James Wan horror movie all right.
In fact, it's THE James Wan Horror movie. Again.
