The new Aladdin movie may just be my favorite Disney live-action remake ever…

IN THE WORD:

IN MY LIFE:
We all know I have a love/hate relationship with Disney remakes: while some become new favorites, others taint my memories of the original.
Don’t hate me when I say the new Aladdin live-action movie may be even better than it’s animated counterpart.
The choreography and costumes alone are stunning and had me wanting to audition for any future remakes. Not to mention I couldn’t take my eyes off of Jasmine herself, equally stunning on the inside and out. (And oh, that voice and spirit!).
It was surprising in the best ways possible and I appreciated some of the lyric updates they made. The one glaring note that can’t be ignored was Robin Williams’ absence.
No-one ever could fill the shoes of the Genie, and while Will Smith gave a gregarious attempt, nothing can replace Williams’ original genius.
That being said, I’m already planning when we can go see the film again. It’s a great film for the entire family and I applaud Disney for this marvelous re-imagination or arguably one of their most beloved films of all time.
PRAYER FOCUS: Surrender
I pray you surrender and submit your plans to God, allowing Him to do even more than you can humanly imagine.
