Ep 64 - Aladdin (2019)

This week we're heading back to ancient Agrabah with a bagful of 2019 morals and revisions in the Disney live-action remake of Aladdin.  Join your favourite Disney Podcasters – Ellie, and Ian - with Liam from Best Film Ever having to compesnate for the absence of Georgia and Ethan this week.  Questions we asked this week include: Why did they change classic dialogue with the smallest of changes? Was there anyone besides Will Smith who could've played the Genie in an Aladdin remake? Does the new Jasmine song rip off an Abba classic? Why does the film rush through Act I and then overly pad the runtime in Act III?  What are the rules about favours and wishes?  Why don't they figure out the whole 'pretending to be a prince vs. making someone an actual sorcerer conundrum from the first film? and Why does Ethan hate the musical number for Prince Ali so much?

If that wasn't enough for you, we've got some more content direct from friend of the podcast, Andrew, in our Pause for the Parks segment.
So, catch up on some great Disney content and then join the conversation (@talkthemickey), Instagram (@talkingthemickey), or on our Facebook page (@talkingthemickey).  If you comment, you may end up among our 'shoutouts of the week.’
