That was my ultimate thought as well. Genie just doesn’t translate well from animated to live action.

They would have been better off just making Genie appear as a regular guy instead of what he was in the cartoon.

What did you expect? The ghost of RWILL? The genie is blue....deal with it. {nm} Buy BONDS xXx Feb 10, 20:40

I agree. Now show me the MONEY! {nm} Bob Iger Feb 10, 21:48

independent of whether WSMIT can actually play the role as well as RWILL, the thing about the Genie was he wasn't solid professor zovek Feb 10, 22:01

He actually does appear "in disguise" in human form, but it's a big ol ball of gas for the majority. {nm} notfabio Feb 11, 08:21

Even if Disney received largely negative feedback on the issue, do they have enough time to do anything about it? {nm} RollingThunder Feb 11, 09:53

A blue WSMIT was always going to be easy to be turned into a meme. Disney fans will still watch the movie. {nm} Antibody Feb 11, 10:21

even though i'm not a JCARR fan or anything, totally CGI genie with his voice would probably have been the better route {nm} professor zovek Feb 11, 10:32

Excluding B&B live actions only average 200M, MPOP, Pete's Dragon ALIC2 shows Disney fans discern good from bad.. {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Feb 11, 11:02

MPOP, Pete's Dragon and ALIC2 weren't remakes of an animated blockbuster classic with catchy songs. {nm} Antibody Feb 11, 11:16

But Tobias Funke wasn’t a thing when the original movie came out. {nm} RogerMore Feb 11, 06:25

neither was Marty Wolf {nm} RazorHawk Feb 11, 10:23

Just looks bad... should have went the look of Ray Harryhausen movies with updated CGI... blue genie can only be pulled off in animation. {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Feb 11, 08:54
