Will Smith’s CGI Aladdin genie leaves fans feeling blue

As the premiere date for Disney’s much-anticipated live-action Aladdin biopic inches closer, the film’s producers are giving us more and more of a glimpse into what we can expect to see when the film hits theatres on May 24.

Many took to Twitter to share their disappointment in real time.
