Disney’s latest look at the upcoming live-action version of “Aladdin” has a few people wishing the genie would go back in the bottle.
A new trailer for the film debuted during Sunday’s Grammy Awards. Viewers on social media expressed some disappointment and for others, horror.
“When I was 6 I had a nightmare about kings Ramses from courage the cowardly dog,” wrote one Twitter user. “That was the scariest thing in my life up until I saw Will Smith as the Genie.”
“Will Smith as the genie looks like what one of those kids from the 90’s Fruit Gushers commercials would look like if they never found a cure for their fruit curse,” wrote another.
