Disney’s Aladdin is coming in 2019 – Teaser Trailer and Poster
Disney movies are a wonderful, magical thing. Some fall into the category of “my movies” – the classics I grew up with. Others fall into the category of my daughter's movies and still others, my sons'. There's an 18 year age gap between my daughter and my sons, so there was a period of time where I didn't keep up with all the new movie releases as much as I did when my kids were little…and certainly not as much as I do now. And yes…I know that is a really big age gap between kids. What does that have to do with Disney's Aladdin? Read on and it'll make sense!

A new trailer was released this week that show a little more of the interaction (and music) between Aladdin and Jasmine and it gave me all the chills. Watch it here:
There were a lot of complaints about the CGI after the last trailer was released and honestly? I didn't notice. I thought it was magical and unless something is really amiss or glitchy, the technical aspects just aren't what my mind and heart are drawn to. Either way, this movie is going to be amazing and I can't wait to see the interaction between Aladdin and Jasmine.
Disney's Aladdin is coming in 2019 – Teaser Trailer and Poster

The original animated version of Aladdin, released in 1992, was one of those movies. My daughter was just a few months old when it was released and I didn't see it for several years, not until after The Return of Jafar was out on video…yep, on video. VHS, baby.
I watched Aladdin and The Return of Jafar in 1995, after I had my wisdom teeth pulled. A coworker brought me a bag of videos (yes, VHS tapes) and I remember picking these two movies to watch first. Fast forward…what has it been, almost 16 years?…later and we're awaiting the 2019 release of Aladdin, the live-action version of this Disney classic.
So…I guess Aladdin was originally one of MY movies but I'm excited I'll be sharing this one with my boys. And, you better believe I've been humming “Mr. Aladdin sir, what will your pleasure be?” in anticipation.
Check out the teaser (and I DO mean TEASER) trailer here. I can't wait to see more!
