History Heartwarming / Aladdin2019

* In a deleted scene, ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNIihS_fFtk the first one here]]), the moment where [[LoveAtFirstSight Aladdin sees Jasmine's face]] for the very first time was beautifully recreated, complete with petals falling in the background.

* Fan reactions to Will Smith's turn as the Genie have been very positive. The Genie is a character so closely associated with Creator/RobinWilliams that for most other incarnations, actors have just imitated his performance. Smith, however, takes the Genie and makes it his own, while still being very funny, well-acted, and blowing the water out of the musical numbers. Most agree that Smith has done Williams' memory proud and that he's a worthy successor to fill the Genie's shoes, a feat everyone had written off as impossible.
* It is implied that Agrabah is located on the Arabian peninsula; a place that, in the real world, is sadly infamous for its lack of women's rights. Seeing a capable female ruler take the throne in an Arabian kingdom is powerful imagery, and gives hope that this particular setting will remember Jasmine's example into the modern day.
* A Youtuber named Boy Thunder Production remixed Robin Williams and Will Smith's versions of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuvmJTXIpOg "Friend Like Me"]] into a duet. The remix is wonderfully done, making it really seem like the two versions are actually singing together and playing off each other naturally.
-->'''Smith!Genie:''' Can your friends go- ''(starts beat-boxing)''
-->'''Williams!Genie:''' ''(sounding impressed)'' Well, lookie here, haha!

* Even though the Genie is under enslavement by Jafar, we still get a minor one as in this version, the Genie himself secretly sends Carpet to the North Pole to aid Aladdin and Abu and save them from certain death. And this was shortly after Jafar banished Aladdin seconds earlier.

-->'''Jasmine:''' You were just a boy, when your father came to work the grounds. But you have risen up to become our most trusted soldier. As the man I known you to be both loyal and just. But now you have to choose. Duty isn't always honor. Our greatest challenge, isn't speaking up against our enemies, but define those whose approval we seek the most. Jafar is not worthy of your admiration nor your sacrifice. Hakim, these men... they will follow where you lead, but it's up to you. Will you stand silent while Jafar destroys our beloved kingdom or will you do what is right? And stand with the people of Agrabah? \\

* A small one, but the Genie takes the time to explain to Aladdin that wording wis hes carefully is important (as opposed to [[JackassGenie traditional]] [[LiteralGenie genies]], who would ruthlessly exploit poorly-worded wishes).
