Hey, y'all! Welcome to my first लेख of this series! I'll be talking about each detail from both a tradionally animated film AND a live-action one. Keep in mind, while I'm happy to give my input on a majority of these films, some I'm going to have to mentally prepare for in the meantime. But let's not go further into that. Let's get on with the show.
Today's लेख will be about both versions of Aladdin.
The characters:
The character development for each character is well done. I'm not going to lie about that quality, but I'd like to point out afew things about the flaws.
Aladdin:
First off, the original अलादीन is at a crossroads when Sultan wants to make him a new Sultan, while the live-action अलादीन loses sight of who he is, but in a VERY slight way. (The line "Aladdin's gone. Prince Ali is here to stay." should ring a घंटी, बेल if आप don't follow.) He loses sight of himself in that slight manner, but I प्यार how he found that part of himself again as the story progressed. He starts to pick up the pieces after being captured, like the original अलादीन does. One thing I found precious about the live-action अलादीन is how he was struggling to find ways to talk to चमेली after discovering she was the princess. That was TOO cute NOT to point out!
Jasmine:
Don't even get me started on Jasmine, especially the original one! Even though her दिल is in a good place at times, the live-action one kind of makes her look slightly self centered. That's how big the live-action Jasmine's दिल is! The live-action चमेली actually KNOWS what to do when it's HER time to rule Agrabah. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to talk bad about the original Jasmine, but the live-action चमेली won me over in a record of minutes. सेकंड्स even. I WILL say THIS, though, I have to appreciate them keeping some of the original Jasmine's qualities and passing them down to the live-action one. While the original चमेली DOES have some good qualities, she DOES tend to think a bit और about other stuff, while the live-action चमेली thinks about the people of her country and not so much about herself. I liked what they did there.
Genie:
I'm clearly at a loss for words as I type this. No one can slay a role और than Robin Williams. Hell, no one is better than Robin Williams! I think I speak for all of us in this community when I say the original Genie holds a special place in our hearts. Now, when I heard the live-action Genie was going to be played द्वारा Will Smith, I couldn't help but think "He is going to suck as such an iconic character, especially an iconic character who was once played द्वारा a legend!", but, I was impressed with what I saw. He brought much और to the तालिका, टेबल than I expected, but still, the live-action Genie doesn't hold a damn candle to the original Genie. I know there are going to be some of आप who liked the live-action Genie, and I respect but no one can replace the legend who voiced the original Genie. RIP Robin Williams.
Jafar:
The live-action Jafar is ALOT DIFFERENT from the original one! The original Jafar was sorta creepy towards चमेली if आप ask me. The way he was when it came to him trying to marry her was just...Jacked. At least the live-action Jafar had enough audacity to leave her alone! What I like about the live-action Jafar is he was और power hungry and और focused on gaining the सिंहासन for himself. Upon looks, the live-action Jafar looks like any other regular guy, and the original Jafar looks ominous. I get it, though, because a majority of villains are gonna look that way, especially iconic ones.
The Sultan:
There's no सवाल that the original Sultan is lovable, but it's annoying how both Sultans kept चमेली all sheltered from the outside world. Though, what I प्यार about the live-action Sultan is he doesn't want to lose Jasmine. Another thing I प्यार about him is he's compassionate. For example, he asks अलादीन how he can think him after defeating Jafar, and reassures him saying everyone makes mistakes after he apologizes for all the wrong he's done. I'm not saying the original Sultan isn't compassionate, believe me, I think he's just as compassionate, but with the live-action Sultan, it starts to become और evident at the end.
Abu, Carpet, and Iago:
I was surprised when I saw the live-action Iago had very little lines, if any lines at all. The original Iago is just so talkative it's almost obnoxious. I get it, though, because it's supposed to be comic relief. The live-action Iago staying silent was still surprising to say the least.
Both Abu's were about the same for me, but unlike the original Abu, the live-action Abu is alot less greedy. The original Abu was so greedy, he was almost ugly about it. Another thing I like the live-action Abu is he's taught a lesson द्वारा अलादीन about where there's a time and place to steal, and a time and place not to steal. I only have a minor complaint about him. I wish they had him stay an हाथी alittle longer, like they did with the original Abu when अलादीन was pretending to be a prince. Both Abu's are still good, though.
I have to say, both Carpets are flawless. I can't say anything bad about either of them. Yes, I hated not seeing the live-action Carpet pull Abu's bluff in the cave, like the original Carpet did, but that doesn't matter to me as much. Another thing I liked about the live-action Carpet is he gets ressurected द्वारा Genie after being cut. I was wowed द्वारा how similar he and the original Carpet are. They're both legendary in in loads of ways.
The music:
Oh my God, I was blown away with how close the songs were to the original versions! I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical of Will Smith doing Friend Like Me, but even he stayed true to the original version, even if he did rap just alittle during the performance. The newest song, Speechless, is BEAUTIFUL! I've never related to such a powerful number in my life! Talk about a confidence booster! I also like how there was a reprise of One Jump Ahead. (Forgive me, but, I've been calling it the "street rat" song.) I thought that was a neat touch. My only complaint is during a couple of the musical numbers, अलादीन was pitchy during one of his, and Genie was a bit off key during Arabian Nights, but I liked how they managed to pick themselves back up in the end.
The setting:
Small compliant, but, during the live-action version of A Whole New World, I wish they included the parts where they go all around the world, like they did with the original version, but I get it, because the whole thing would've been expensive. I liked the live-action setting, though. I thought it was similar to the original one.
The story:
Okay, I'm not going to lie, the original Aladdin's story is gold, but the live-action one blew me away! When we get to see the live-action tiger head, I almost spat out my water when he spoke. He sounded JUST LIKE the original one! Another thing I'd like to add is that I liked how they wrote in the live-action Genie falling in प्यार with Jasmine's friend. They did good with that twist. Speaking off, the opening to the live-action movie was different, to say the least, but creative. I also liked how they included a wedding between the live-action अलादीन and Jasmine. It made me think of the third tradionally animated movie.
Oh, let's not forget about the party scene! As I mentioned earlier in this article, I thought it was adorable how the live-action अलादीन was trying to find the confidence to try and talk to चमेली upon finding out she was the princess.
Plus, we finally know what happened to Jasmine's mother in the live-action adaptation. You're probably not surprised I'm mentioning this, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they explored और into that in the future. I'm sure there already fanfics of that theory out there, and I respect people's creativity, but I think that's worth exploring more. Incidentally, knowing the live-action Sultan is extremely protective of चमेली over this is rather understandable. आप can't help but दिखाना some sympathy. All in all, I'd like to see where the storyline goes with this in the future. It'd be interesting to see what caused it all.
संपूर्ण, कुल मिलाकर review:
The original: 10/10
The live-action: 10/10
I have to admit, I had my doubts about the live-action movie, but I was VERY impressed in the end.
That's it for this article. My अगला one with be on both versions of Beauty And The Beast. Keep in mind, I might not be able to include all the characters in that one, but I'll try my best to at least give them a mention.
Thanks for reading! Much love, y'all! <3

The Official Disney Princesses
Yes, I know there has been quite a few of these done (I was acctually begining to feel a bit left out), but I just thought I'd throw my two cents out there. Enjoy!

Mulan is a natural beauty. She traded her elegant traditional wear for an earth-green set of armor, cut her silk black hair to a man’s length, and wiped off every trace of makeup. And आप know what? She still got the guy, and looked good doing it. So maybe she did pass herself off as a dude for 90% of the movie – but hey, that’s what makes her who she is.

9. Snow White...
10. Nani: the only animated Disney character with a normal body shape, she defiantly deserves a place on my list
9. Snow White: her skin is as white as snow and her lips are as red as blood, she grabs spot number 9
8. Eilonwy: known as the forgotten Disney Princess, stunning none the less.
7. Jasmine: her gorgeous Raven hair and exotic beauty is unique and sexy
6. Megara: her beautiful dark red hair and curvy body makes her unbelievably beautiful and sexy
5. Rapunzel: her gorgeous doll like green eyes, adorable smile and of course her famous long locks give her spot number 5 on my list
4. Belle: Her beautiful chocolate hair and hazel eyes (defiantly the best eyes out of all the Disney princesses) really makes her an undeniable beauty, her smartness and wittiness makes her 10x more gorgeous.
3. Ariel: I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for not making her number one. Her famous fire truck red hair and beautiful face has made her my number 1 Disney beauty for a long time, but the next two have just gotten past her, sorry
2. Anna: with her beautiful auburn plats, large blue eyes, freckled face and adorable button nose, know wonder Anna's funny and awkward personality has made her the official 12th Disney princess!
1. Elsa: Anna's older and more mature magical sister. To me Elsa is on a whole new level to any previous Disney princess, her platinum blonde loose braid, gorgeous blue eyes, lightly freckled face and gorgeous ice dress makes her the most beautiful Disney
Welcome to my सेकंड Mary Sue Test! This is for Anna. I'll be doing one for Elsa next.
Unique traits without contacts या hair dye- No, Anna's hair and eye color are pretty realistic.
An odd name- No. 'Anna' is a common name, if her pronunciation isn't.
Looks constantly टिप्पणी जोड़ा गया हे on- No. I can't remember Anna's looks being टिप्पणी जोड़ा गया हे on much.
Always the hero- Sort of. She saved Kristoff from the wolves, falling off the mountain, saved them from Marshmallow, and saved Elsa from being executed. 1.
Multiple characters falling for her- No. Hans only pretended to, and Kristoff didn't until the end....

" Moana vs. Pocahontas?"
Hello all! Many apologies for running a bit behind on this one. The holidays are always chaos incarnate.
Cinderella was our Princess of the महीना for December, and here is a collection of thoughts on why we adore her. Many thanks to those who पेश comments!
I absolutely प्यार when Cindy's snarky side peeks through, like when she makes a quip about the "music lesson". It's adorable but also rounds out her character. <3 ~MaidofOrleans
She teaches me to DREAM BIG!!! ~deedragongirl
She is kind, hard-working, and a princess from my childhood that I still प्यार today. ~LMH5113

Hello everybody! Felt that लेखन bug back in me, and the one लेख I've noticed I haven’t done yet is the डिज़्नी Princess फिल्में of course! And with our latest addition Moana. Hope आप all enjoy, after all these are just my opinions.

I don’t know why, but I’ve never really liked this movie. I’m not very knowledgeable on Scottish mythos या culture, so I was excited to see it, but it turns out that there just wasn’t enough magic in charm in it for me. I really liked that it was a classical story about a witch, a princess, and a spell, but going to the movie really...
