Hear "A Whole New World" and "Friend Like Me" in the new sneak peek at Disney's live-action remake.
Welcome to "A Whole New World," this time, with music!
Disney just dropped another trailer for its upcoming live-action remake of "Aladdin," starring Will Smith as the Genie and Mena Massoud in the titular role.
While previous sneak peeks have only given us glimpses of the big wish granter, however, he's all over this preview -- both in blue form and looking a lot more like the regular Will Smith.
The new footage shows Smith's all powerful (but still not free) lamp resident showing off his powers by turning the street ray into a bona fide prince to impress Princess Jasmine, the woman of his dreams.
This preview also gives us our first listen to some of the original film's classic songs, including Smith singing "Friend Like Me" with some trippy visuals inside the Cave of Wonders and Massoud and Jasmine (AKA Naomi Scott) doing a rendition of "A Whole New World" atop a magic carpet.
One complaint: Al's still rocking a shirt. Sorry, Twitter.
Here's the official synopsis from Disney:
A thrilling and vibrant live-action adaptation of Disney's animated classic, "Aladdin" is the exciting tale of the charming street rat Aladdin, the courageous and self-determined Princess Jasmine and the Genie who may be the key to their future. Directed by Guy Ritchie, who brings his singular flair for fast-paced, visceral action to the fictitious port city of Agrabah, "Aladdin" is written by John August and Ritchie based on Disney's "Aladdin." The film stars Will Smith as the Genie; Mena Massoud as Aladdin; Naomi Scott as Jasmine; Marwan Kenzari as Jafar; Navid Negahban as the Sultan; Nasim Pedrad as Dalia and Billy Magnussen as Prince Anders.
The movie, directed by Guy Ritchie, hits theaters May 24, 2019.
