Artist Truck Torrence of 100soft designed these Aladdin Twitter emoji. The official Aladdin account shared them, and I couldn't find them on any of Torrence's sites, so unclear if they were a commission/if they officially belong in this thread?

Anywho, they cute

Here's a frick-ton of photos from the main cast's (and Menken!) trip to Paris. Way too many for me to upload "by hand."

@disneyaladdin on Twitter has a lot of clips from the tour as well.

They were joined by director Guy Ritchie and composer Alan Menken.

The City of Light was the first stop on the Magic Carpet World Tour that will continue over the next two weeks, which you can follow at #MagicCarpetTour.

You know, I always figured Aladdin would have crazy arm and leg strength from all the running around he does, but these previews are making me confront it in a way that makes me wish they'd release a workout tape or something Laughing

But I'm so glad they got Abu in there. Like I can't even express how thrilled I am.

You guys are so lucky. I have to wait 3 more weeks before even the system allows me to take a seat (and still not sure if we get English release here, though I hope we get one. Rather watch this in English as the Hungarian dub...not good for this one so far https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-pqpO8HH-M).

I had to play seat hockey cause I wasn't sure about the distance of where I was sitting to the screen, but I'm in the middle of the theater on Thursday at 6PM, yay Laughing

Also "Rated PG For Some Action/Peril" just to clarify.

Pics are really nice and while I don't find Aladdin attractive that much (not my taste it seems), he's fine and seems to remain more or less the same as he was in the original.

The books gave some insights to the characters and the overall plot, which on one hand I'm thankful for it, but on the other got me even worried.

Without really spoilering much I'll say the movie does seem to have a good amount of changes and takes much more from the original tale and even add new elements. It will be also seem like a good portion of the time will be about the palace life after Aladdin becomes a prince and basically the characters get to know each other. Thats a good change imo and hopefully this will be done well.

With Genie outside of his personality change (rather big imo) it seems the no killing rule has been removed plus he's not exactly a benevolent genie with how he likes to interpet wishes (gonna be honest the comedy there weren't working for me). He will also seem to be with the maiden, so... yeah, Genie will have Dalia as his girlfriend... honestly unsure what to think.

Most concerning was Jasmine's book though (also listened to her song via that doll thingie. Really generic and unfitting imo. Feels like a big downgrade from what we got in the whole triology). The idea is nice, having her wanting to become a good Sultana for her people it's good, for real. But it's the execution that worries me in a great extent. This whole praising, claiming her to be better than anyone and be the legit best to rule while also claim that the men around her just don't understand her and hold her back... sorry, but this is full modern feminist and not in the good way. I especially find it annoying as we know Jasmine does respects her father and even acknowledges in the series that the Sultan has way more experience in ruling and she still has lot to learn.

Very worrying imo because these types of characters are not exactly that good and likeable and considering how the media lashes on anyone who dares to criticize this type of character...

Overall the movie does seem to have a chance to be good, but there are some worrying issues for sure which when they are big they can really ruin the movie experience. I still gonna try to watch it as soon as possible though due to my exam month starting right after the movie release.

I would also like to direct those of you who don't think Aladdin is attractive to the final photo in this post. :lol:


Haha, I by no means think he is ugly! I just think he is a five on average and a seven at best. :b I was just hoping for an eight or nine is all...

BUT I of course recognize we all have different tastes. I am extremely picky when it comes to who I deem attractive. It's a flaw...

I think all these images look lovely. I have low expectations so hopefully I'll end up really enjoying this movie!

I really need to watch BATB so I can understand what everyone is talking about when they mention the unwanted extra material cause that seems to be a universal opinion (along with just not having Emma Watson as Belle at all Laughing)
