This thread inspired me to watch the trailer for the 1st time.
Wow, you guys weren't exaggerating. The Genie looks awful, and I say this as someone who was a huge Will Smith fan in the 90s, he was my favorite actor for awhile back then. I thought Will was just doing genie voice work and was okay with that. Oh well I wasn't looking forward to this live action remake anyway, even if Aladdin was one of my favorite childhood movies.
I couldn't get through the live action Beauty and the Beast. I turned it off midway out of boredom. The characters just lacked the charm of the animated film.
The only one of these I think has good potential is The Lion King, mainly because of Jon Favreau.
