I remember hearing John Lasseter speak at a press conference several years back about the distinguishing features of Disney’s films, and why they resonate so well with families. A compelling story, memorable characters, and a believable world converge to create an immersive experience for families. But what continues to bring families together around a film is the timelessness of those characters and their stories. Aladdin was the second of five live-action remakes produced by Disney this year.
Consideration provided by Disney.
Disney’s Aladdin
Embark on a magic carpet ride with the entire family when Disney’s Aladdin debuts on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, Digital, and Movies Anywhere. The live-action film stars Will Smith, Naomi Scott, and Mena Massoud, and families can enjoy an Aladdin-themed movie night with recipes, activities, printables, and all-new bonus features.
The home entertainment release of the live-action film coincides with the addition of the original animated classic film to the Walt Disney Signature Collection. You can own both movies, including the classic in 4K for the first time.
I was a teenager when Disney’s Aladdin was released in theaters, and the film still continues to resonate with our family. At the time, I was far less traveled and the excitement and adventure of this magical tale with origins in the Arabian city of Agrabah drew me in.
The classic story follows Aladdin and Princess Jasmine as they join forces with a 10,000 year old Genie to fight the evil sorcerer Jafar. The live action adaptation is thrilling, with vibrant cinematography and new recordings of the original songs written by Alan Menken and Oscar-winning lyricists Howard Ashman and Tim Rice. The film also includes two new songs written by Menken and lyrics by Oscar and Tony Award-winning songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
