Skeptical Disney fans have a reason to breathe a little easier now that the studio has released a new trailer for the upcoming live action adaptation of Aladdin.


The original trailer, if you can recall, was not all that well received. Here it is again, just for reference. (We apologize in advance.)

At the time of its release last month, many questioned whether the remake could live up to the style of the original 1992 animated film. (And what the hell was up with Will Smith as the Genie? He's no Robin Williams, and the casting choice seemed rather farfetched.)

But ya'll can relax now.

This new trailer? Check it out:

People are really digging it.

Will Smith doesn't look anywhere near as bad as people thought, the tone of this trailer feels a lot smoother, and the music sounds like it's going to give us a real good time.



Disney, your people REALLY should have released this trailer first, don't you think?


There is hope for Will Smith yet!




Could this film usher us into a whole new world? It's possible. We're bound to see more teasers before the film comes out on May 24.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Kid Rock Dragged After Offering Massive Discount To His MAGA Festival Due To Abysmal Ticket Sales

Musician Kid Rock has hitched his wagon to president Donald Trump for quite some time now, and it seems he too is in the "find out" stage of that particularly exercise in FAFO.

It seems that when the president you form your entire personality around craters to a catastrophic approval rating even for him, your ship starts to sink too.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
