The Man on the Camel
(Singing):
Oh I come to a land to a faraway place where crazy happens every hour of more! Where enchantment runs wild and the magic is free, it’s not normal but hey it’s home! When the winds of the east and the sun is in the west and sand in glass is right, come on down stop on by hop on a horse and come by to an amazing Arabian night! Arabian Niiiiiights, like Arabian daaaaays are more often than not so hotter than hot in so many ways! Arabian Niiiiiiights like Arabian Moons, the fool off his guard can fall off so hard and be one with the dunes! (The Man on the Camel played by Chris Lee Moore comes off)

Ah Salaam and welcome please come close! (The Camera comes mere fractions of an inch before stopping) Good point to stop there. Welcome to Aragrabah!

Combination Hookah and Coffee maker and cannot break (The Man On The Camel taps it with his hand and it breaks on impact.) Well I’ll be a flaming goats’ patoot, It broke! (The Camera walks away.) Wait don’t go! I was hoping to wait until I was desperate, but this lamp and this key may look common but these two changed the lives of so many including a hero who thinks he is not! This tale begins on a dark night where a dark man waits in the desert with a dark purpose. (Sands raises up as grains of sand turn into stars in the dark night as we see a man hidden in shadows as another rides on a horse to see the man in the shadows as the other man walks up)

The classic tale of not letting what your status defines where you’ll be in for the rest of your life. The 1992 Disney Animated Classic “Aladdin” remains one of my favorite movies. So, when I heard that there was a live action movie coming out this year, my initial reaction was lukewarm at best. Even with The Fresh Prince Himself Will Smith being casted as the Genie didn’t exactly set my mind on fire as to what it’d be like. Call me a snob for saying this but the Animated Classic should’ve been left well enough alone. But if there is anything to the new movie, I’ll talk about it along the way.

If anything this movie showed how many people are the same no matter how rich or poor, the problems we have are the same. We want to believe that the rich have less problems but as the old saying goes, the more money the more problems you have. That doesn’t mean the poor are better off doing everything to keep themselves from being but while people are on the same way but on different paths and when paths cross in the right way it’s called destiny and one of the themes of the movie is changing destiny. Aladdin and Jasmine are trying to change their destinies when in fact by meeting they made their destinies set on the same course but different paths getting to the destination. That’s something the 1992 movie does well, not to take away from the 2019 movie did, but the pacing is a little slower in my opinion, I just think it was not that good that’s all. (Fade to black before cutting to the next morning as James and Julia Alexa Miller wake up together feeling refreshed and being greeted by Jaladdin and a female friend played by Brenda Fonseca as the four of the get to know each other The Captain Of The Guards come busting in!)

Now this is where both get the credit for some of the best moments of the movie. At the start of the Animated and Live Action Remake Jasmine was not into being a princess. She saw everything as a waste of being alive and to Naomi Scott she put a lot more effort into not only showing but telling through her facial and bodily expressions she was NOT happy simply being a princess. But when the moment to use that powerful title was to spare a person from death, a person who would eventually save her even though he had to disguise himself from what and who he truly was. Once she was able to see the power and not just the fancy clothing and big parties, she was able to evolve quickly and that’s an awesome moral for young women to look beyond the surface and see deeper inside. (Cut to James and Julia Alexa Miller as they see The Sultan played by Nick Yaun and his Vizier who happens to be the man in the shadows from Earlier)

As much as Aladdin knew what the old man was probably not on the level, he also didn’t believe it to be too far to be true or that the old man was in fact Jafar incognito. This was a trait that was missing in the Live Action Movie. Jafar used disguises, subterfuge, Dark Magic and Science not known to everyone to obtain his goals. When in the live action version Jafar does what he does to try and obtain the lamp from the cave with Aladdin it didn’t exactly make sense, but I guess when Jafar is involved nothing is on the level. (Cut to James, Julia and Jaladdin on the magic carpet landing outside of the path to the Lamp.)

(Played audially by Nick Yaun):
YOU SHALL NEVER AGAIN SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY! (Julia Alexa Miller and Jaladdin make it to James, Sahu and The Carpet.)
YOU SHALL NEVER AGAIN SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY! (Julia Alexa Miller and Jaladdin make it to James, Sahu and The Carpet.)

Hafar:
THE LAMP! GIVE ME THE LAMP NOW!
THE LAMP! GIVE ME THE LAMP NOW!
TLOTA:
ONLY IF YOU HELP US SURVIVE!
ONLY IF YOU HELP US SURVIVE!
Hafar:
FINE, I SHALL HELP YOU SURVIVE AND JALADDIN SHALL BE FREE! (Jaladdin with hesitation gives Hafar the lamp and as Sahu tries to help them survive, Hafar shoves James’ Time and Space device into James and Julia Alexa Miller and grabs Jaladdin) Never let it be said that I am not a man of my word! You shall be free… of the mortal coil! (Hafar nearly kills Jaladdin before Sahu goes for Hafar’s nuts and Jaladdin gets clocked in the head and falls down the rock face into the cave just as James’ space time device grabs the unconscious body and the cave disappears back into the sand!) At last, it’s mine, Now I will… (Searches his pockets and sees he doesn’t have the lamp) no, No, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (The Echoes of the loudest “No” is heard so far down into the cave as James and Julia Alexa Miller try to revive Jaladdin.)

TLOTA:
Dude, you alright?
Dude, you alright?
Jaladdin:
No, I knew something wasn’t on the level with him and now he has the lamp. (Sahu squeaks and makes monkey noises as he shows the lamp) Sahu, you thief! There’s some sort of writing. Let me clean it up! (Jaladdin rubs on the lamp as it starts to glow and fireworks. James and Julia Alexa Miller duck and dodge the fireworks as a Genie pops out of the lamp screaming.)

The Genie (played by Steve Kidd):
WOW! Ten thousand years stuck inside something that has the space of the inside the size of a coconut will leave you sore in places you never thought possible! One moment please. (The Genie does some cartoonish stretching and after he does his stretching, James screams in total fear and the echoes are heard at the palace, the depths of space before cutting to the Space Station Angry Joe asleep at the post and is woken up by the scream as he shouts out loud in anger “DAMN YOU JAMES FARACI THE LAST OF THE AMERICANS!” before cutting to a much calmer James.)

Sorry, it’s not that you’re scary it’s just that, there’s something that’s wrong and not with you per se it’s just that… it’s weird for me. (Cut to stills of the 1992 classic and the 2019 remake of Disney’s “Aladdin” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
Let me get this out of the way right here, right now. Will Smith is a charismatic performer and a very good actor and for me he does have the chops to perform any character he wants. But as the Genie in “Aladdin” it was a bit distracting because I didn’t see The Genie, I saw Will Smith trying to turn the Genie into Will Smith. The reason the late great Robin Williams is Iconic is that his voice was enough to give the character life. Yeah there was times when Robin was a little too into being Robin, but he was able to reign it into the character! Now if I do have any positives to give Will’s Genie is that he’s aware of what’s happening and when The Genie does something similar to his animated counterpart he knows it and realizes why it works and when if something doesn’t work he lets people know why and figures out how to make it work. (Cut to James, Julia Alexa Miller, Sahu, The Magic Carpet, The Genie and Jaladdin in the cave)

Um, Excuse me Jal, You woke me up when you rubbed my lamp, you come here and insult me and you think I can’t get you stooges out, nuh-uh, you guys get on the carpet and SIT DOWN! (James ties a tow line onto the space and time device as he and the others hop on the carpet.) Now whatever you do, don’t step off the ride until we make a complete and total stop, hang on to your hats because we are (Cut to the outside sand as a zooming streak of light is seen and the Genie screams “OUTTA HERE!” before cutting to a lush Oasis outside of town)

Me? There’s only one thing I’d wish for and that’d be freedom, and I’m sure you think it’s all Phenomenal eternal Cosmic powers, but I’m stuck always serving others with my magic, to be free is worth everything in all of the known universe.

As my buddy Rowdy pointed out in his mid-review rant is that the pre-arranged marriages and the outdated laws and customs are thwarted by true love is a good thing and this is something that Aladdin did right. Both the Animated and Live Action version show early on that, but the live action tries WAY too hard for its own good to hammer that message in. Also, I understand that Aladdin’s mentality is that someone like Jasmine deserves the finest but sometimes the finest doesn’t mean the best or most expensive. It could just be a street rat who doesn’t even know how much his true worth is on the inside than it is on the outside! (Cut to everyone in the Oasis)

For me the first impression is often the only opportunity to make people care. I think the way Aladdin made his first impression when he saved Jasmine in the city back when he didn’t know she was the princess and she was immediately impressed by the personality that he could be a nice guy and stop her from being hurt and here’s where the live action version loses me. Prince Ali aka Aladdin trying to bribe her with Jewels and Jams? What? Last time I saw the animated classic, his arrogance was more than enough to get him to start to knock off the whole infallible Prince act so when He and Jasmine were alone on the terrace later on in the night as The Prince Ali Façade was starting to fade and the real Aladdin was shining through. That’s why Aladdin was called the Diamond In The Rough because they saw the polish Aladdin needed to be true to himself and those around him. (Cut to later in the night after a celebration as Jaladdin, The Genie, Julia Alexa Miller and James are plotting the next move.)

I’m gonna say that the music for the most part in the live action remake really took what Howard Ashmen & Alan Menken picked up the ball and incorporated the middle eastern motifs and with the exception of Will Smith’s “Never Had a Friend like me” & “Prince Ali”, I have to say the music is a highlight that in both the Animated classic and this live action version is something I looked forward to and as to why I have done so few musical numbers in this is simple, I could only license a small amount of songs from the movie. Plus, after the disaster that was my “Producers” review, I decided to scale back on the musical reviews. (Cut to Jaladdin and Princess Yasmina as they make it back to the terrace and the two kiss and wish each other a good night.

The fact that Jafar discovers Aladdin’s identity before being discovered as a traitor opens a plot hole that the animated version never had. As a matter of fact, it’s a reason why and how the animated version works better. When Jafar looks at Prince Ali after his musical entrance, he never thought it was Aladdin. It wasn’t until Jafar was shown as the traitorous pile of Billious Schmatte that Jafar saw the lamp and the wheels were turning in Jafar’s head that the Prince was in fact Aladdin. The live action version was wrong about they did Jafar and I do not blame the actor who plays Jafar in the live action version. This squarely belongs on the writers, director for thinking this was a good idea and Disney for approving the idea! (Cut to Hafar as he has his foot on the chair)

I truly did try to give the live action version the benefit of the doubt that the live action version would improve on the classic but there’s a reason why everything worked in the animated version than the live action remake.
