Naomi Scott sang part of the second speechless live on the set which made it all the more impressive

usually live actions feel a bit unecessary but this aladdin just feels like it adds a lot. it’s just exciting and fun

Naomi actually said in an interview that she sang speechless live when they filmed it and that’s so impressive considering speechless is such a hard song

i love how hannah’s favorite parts were Jasmine, Jasmine’s dresses, Jasmine’s voice, and Jasmine’s acting 😂

I feel like hannah should watch into the woods next. It might not be the most amazing movie but there is SOO MUCH material for her to react to!! (please like this so she sees. I honestly just really want her to watch it 😫😫😫)

Naomi Scott and Mena Massoud did a great job, oh my gosh. Their chemistry and voices really tie the movie together.

I actually think Aladdin is probably one of the best live-action adaptations Disney has done so far 😍

I love how much Naomi’s voice has grown since her Lemonade Mouth days.

This is definitely the best of the *musical* live action adaptations, Mena is an excellent Aladdin (Hollywood please cast him in things!!). Naomi is *so* perfect as Jasmine, and Speechless is an utterly phenomenal song. the best animated to live action overall is Cinderella (2015), but this is a very close second.

Fun Fact: So Hannah, in Speechless, Naomi Scott recorded this scene in one take and it's live, so we're hearing the "raw" voice in the scene. love you

fun fact: when jazmine was singing speechless she actually didn’t record that before that was her live voice in that moment with no auto tune

As a former Disney entertainment cast member who spent a lot of time with Jasmine, this was so exciting for me to see! I agree with your notes. One thing I will say, is I didn’t mind Will Smith bringing some rap elements to the Genie. He was very humble in acknowledging that Robin Williams “didn’t leave a lot of room for improvement” in the role, and it almost kept Will from taking it. I believe he said what helped him was taking a step back to see what he could bring to the Genie. Robin Williams was obviously an incredible impressionist and they brought that to the cartoon Genie. Instead of Will copying that aspect of the role, he leaned into his Fresh Prince persona and brought that to Genie. When I look at it from that perspective, I can appreciate it more and see how each actor brought their own “signature” to this iconic role. Overall, agreed with everything else you said! (Also I think Will was CGI’d in Genie rather than painted blue and enlarged, so your “uncanny valley” comment is spot on!) thank you for reviewing this! It made me smile 💙

What I did like about this version of Aladdin is that it was just enough different from the cartoon version that it could stand alone. I like when Disney makes the live action movies to stand on their own instead of try to match exactly like the original. I loved cruella the live action of 101 dalmatians :) that doesn't have a ton of music but it is a good one. Another great reaction Hannah keep it up :)

As a gay guy myself, I've loved seeing how much gayer your videos have been getting as you're more openly comfortable and open with your own queerness! It's genuinely inspiring.

The live action Aladdin is honestly my favorite Disney live action. Granted, I haven't seen many of the others, but this worked so well in my opinion!

Naomi Scott is absolutely stunning. This is probably my favorite live action Disney re-make. Her 'Speechless' and Will Smith's 'Prince Ali' were so freaking good.

Oh my god my dad would not stop singing speechless when this movie came out, like he would even tell my mom whenever we were going out that she looked so good it left him “SPEEECHLEEEEEES” 😭

A lot of people said they hated the versions of "Speechless" as it gave Jasmine more of a feminist role, I thought it only added to her charcater. The growl in "Speechless" is just awesome, I can't ever get it right when I try to sing that song. I LOVED Will Smith as the Geini, I think he did a great job in singing and everythign. There was/is some behind the scenes videos of the trio working on some fo the songs and they all looked like they were having a blast! I think you need to do Phantom of The Opera next, maybe with Sierra Boggess, or even Sweeny Todd with Angela Lansbury!

The “meh” feeling always happens when you translate animation to live action, in my opinion. With animation, you can add change and warp the backgrounds and characters to match the action. But with live action you have limits, making it feel lack luster.

I love the live action Aladdin, from the vocals to the choreography - it's all just beautifully done. Also that scene where the genie controls Aladdin while dancing, I think Mena Massoud does such a fantastic job here. I also love that they adapted the ending so Jasmine can change the law to choose who she marries. Naomi Scott singing Speechless gives me chills every time.

The term “diamond in the rough” means so much more to me. Aladdin is poor, yes. But he has the personality of a diamond. He is a great human being that never loses his compassion given his “rough” circumstance. Even with the power of the genie, he maintains his soul even though there are a few bumps in the road of him losing himself. He always reverts back to that strong, willful, and determined personality. I completely love the saying!

Will Smith said that was very stressful to be the Genie bc Robin did an amazing job, but he did NOT tried to be like him, because he didn't wanted to mess with Robin. Will did his best to make his version of the character, that's why there's the rap moments, and they make sense cause tecnically Genie somehow knows about the past and the future and he would know about hip hop and future things that people didn't know.

I thought the rap part of Friend like Me was what made Will's different from Robin's and I loved it! By far, my favorite live action remake

You should take a look at a song they deleted (it was filmed), it's called desert moon, sung by Aladdin and Jasmine. It should have been when Aladdin was going to the cave of wonder while Jasmine was waiting for him, and it's the song both their mothers used to sing to them when they were children (they bonded over it at Aladdin's home)

I love the little harmony they throw in on "feeling" (18:15) it's only a small difference from the original version but it fits in so nicely, also their voices sound so good together

this is one of my guilty pleasure movies. I understand the frustration of disney just making live-action movies and being unoriginal, but this one's different for me. I am absolutely obsessed. And i LOVE speechless

i genuinely think this is the best live action adaptation disney has put out since they started doing them with beauty and the beast - it has it''s flaws, but i like that they added a lot to jasmine's character. she seems a lot more fleshed out with her ambitions and such than her animated counterpart, though it's been a long time since i've seen the animated aladdin.

This is hands down the best live action Disney movie from this current era. Will Smith was the right choice for genie because just like with Robin Williams if he can't sing on par with the others he has charisma to back him up. Also having him walk around and be human helped with the uncanny valley of the CGI (work smarter not harder). I also loved the set design and costumes like you did. Showcasing so much culture. Culture is fun. And yes Naomi Scott is a gem

i do have to say Naomi Scott who plays Jasmine did an amazing job and it shocked me when I saw her in this movie... gives me memories of Lemonade Mouth which she also sings amazing in. I also loved the video Hanna and you're channel. ♥

I liked Aladdin a lot. I felt like it was done well. The actors obviously can sing well. I never felt like the live action was meant to replace the classics. I love the Aladdin classic as well. I felt like they were meant to draw in a brand new generation to the older Disney classics. And the live action versions usually impress me…keeping that in mind.

Also, I think it's very very worthwhile to mention that the second time Naomi Scott Sings Speechless she actually sings it live on set, and that's the recording they use, which is why it sounds so authentic and beautiful and unedited. Which I think is so amazing and one of the reasons why its my favourite song of any of the recent Disney Live action movies

its been a year so its probably too late to say this, but in an interview will smith actually said he didnt wanna take the genie role originally bc he felt that robin williams smashed it and he didn't want to top it out of respect, but then he had a moment where he felt it would be fun to put his own spin on the character, and i think he did a really good job!

aladdin is the ONLY disney live action that’s actually kinda good. also, it’s so wholesome watching your reactions to movies

Naomi Scott sang with veins to portray jasmines emotions in that moment , she was also singing it completely live which was hard so I think that she could easily sing this no strain it was due to her acting and portraying jasmine that she did that

I think you should definitely, if you haven't already, watch Twisted by starkids! It's my favorite rendition of Aladdin! And the voices are amazing!!!

I’ve been to the musical in theater a few days ago and it was literally amazing the songs, dances, acting, decors and of course the cast. It was so so good that I can’t describe it with words and would want to go there again but it stops at the end of the week. I’m so sad but glad that I was allowed to see this masterpiece in real life

Can we take a moment to appreciate👏how 👏awesome👏the 👏ensemble 👏were!! They did so good and really added to the songs as a whole, such as Prince Ali

The version of Naomi singing Speechless in the studio is so good

Now I want her to react to Twisted by Starkid. Tells the story of Aladdin where Jafar is misunderstood and only wanted good for the people and Aladdin is the villain that wants to get with the princess.

Can we take a second to just applaud Naomi for doing speechless in literally one take while it was live. Naomi had talked about how that song was only rehearsed the studio prior to the day of the shoot and she got so overwhelmed while singing it that emotion you see is her actually crying. I do agree that’s such a hard song to sing, and because of that I have so much respect for Naomi Scott as a singer above all because bravo to her.

I actually enjoyed how Genie ended up coming back around at the end with his own family. It threw me off in the beginning, but it made more sense that he was telling that story because he was a part of it. It was cute!

I am usually not a big live action Disney movie, but when I watched this for the first time. It was my favorite Disney live action movie. I loved there voices I loved everything about this movie.

I’ll say it right here and now: Aladdin is the ONLY live action Disney movie that actually satisfies me. The casting was perfect, the music was perfect, the cgi was near perfect! Everything was amazing!

The way you make me feel when you react to these makes my heart flutter. I cried during speechless it was too powerful. Love you please keep doing these

If you haven’t seen Twisted (musical by Starkid) I highly recommend it! It’s so good! It’s like if Wicked and Aladdin had a baby. The music is wonderful, and the storyline in amazing!

something i rlly love about musicals is the ensemble and the dance numbers and we don't get that a lot in the older disney movies so i was so happy to see it in this one because the songs are the perfect material

She actually sang speechless live which is insane

I’m so glad you loved it!! This is my favorite of the live actions. 😍

A Whole New World was the biggest nostalgia punch in the feels out of all of the remakes. Especially since the singing by the two were amazing.

You should react to the StarKid musical Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier. Basically they gave Ja'far the Wicked treatment. It's so good. Very funny, lots of meta jokes, amazing singing, and also kind of emotional

I'm glad you actually liked this one! This is probably my second favorite live action, Cinderella being my first.

My favourite live action by far!! They really had the perfect cast and the songs 😩😍

will smith actually came to set the day they were filming speechless because Naomi sang it live and he cried because she was so good

Raise your hand if you think Cinderella was the best Disney live action remake (On a separate note, Hannah, you look so lovely today. Your sweater is so cute!)

fun fact: Naomi actually sang (the second) Speechless live as they were recording. There is very very little playback during the song, they were actually recording her singing live. In an interview she said it was really hard because everyone on set had to be completely quiet.

I loved this live action adaptation. They gave me the vocals I needed, didn’t add any unnecessary songs, I thought they did a GREAT job with this one.

You made so many good points! Aladdin and Jasmine had amazing chemistry (and sounded great apart and together), the movie was gorgeous, and Will Smith definitely worked best as the genie when he wasn't trying to emulate Robin Williams' performance. He's more than good enough in his own right that the parts where comparisons were easier to draw detracted from the character as a whole.

so happy that you are reacting to this. Abu was voiced by the same voice actor; Frank Welker who also reprises his voice roles of Rajah the tiger and the Cave Guardian. Of course Jasmine is a babe since Naomi Scott is such a babe. Yup correct regarding Abu stealing the lamp back. Agreed, Mena definitely sounds like the singing voice that stood in for the Full House star with Aladdin's singing lines. Naomi is so perfect with her performances here. Correct regarding the Genie, he never lost his powers back then, he just wasn't tied down to a prison. The intro was meant to be homage to the intro in the original where a peddler shows the lamp to the audience as a 4th wall break and starts to explain the story. This was never confirmed back then in-movie but the Directors had later confirmed that it was meant to be a disguised Genie hence why Robin did that voice too BUT didn't do the peddler's singing voice.

Thank you for editing schmit into your video. Comedic timing is on point 🤌🏻

Watching your videos always brings a smile to my face. I love watching you react to things and laughing with you. Please never stop bringing joy to us. ❤️

I love watching Hannah’s honest reactions! We gotta start a Mamma Mia 1 and 2 reaction next!

When you talked about that Aladdín versión where Aladdin is the villain made me think about Starkid's Twisted: the untold story of a royal visir. Have you seen it? It's honestly the best thing ever lol awesome songs sung by super talented actors, hilarious comedy, a Ja'far backstory and character arc very Wicked inspired, you should totally check it out if you haven't!

i felt the exact same. i did not expect to feel SO FULL OF DELIGHT at the end!!!! but it's such a fun watch, i go back to it occasionally and have a blast every time

i remember seeing this movie without any expectations, because Disney barely advertised it. So of course me and my friends were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed this movie! the cast is great and so are all the musical numbers, honestly its just such a fun movie night

I'm obsessed with the live-action Aladdin. It's my favorite of the remakes by a long shot.

I say this a lot with Disney movies but I love this movie. I remember seeing this in theaters when it came out the first day. Everyone in this and the people who made this movie possible are so so flipping amazingly talented. Also yes I would love to see you react to more Disney live action movies! Love the videos! You do an amazing job!

I think after Cinderella, Aladdin's live action is my favorite. I enjoyed it so much.

The person who plays Jafar is a Dutch actor, I’m also Dutch and very proud of him, playing in this movie. Of course other movies too.

Undoubtedly, Aladdin is the most visually impressive live-action movie Disney has ever made ('cause the Lion King was so realistic that it makes me uncomfortable). Perfect cast and music performances. Stunning!

The end credit dance number, made me realize we could’ve had a Bollywood style version of the movie. They did so much for the ensemble for numbers like “Prince Ali” but cut up the footage to not show anything for very long and showed too much of just Aladdin smiling nervously

I love Aladdin, and they did an amazing job. Naomi has a beautiful voice I still can't get over Speechless

I agree with you Hannah. The colors are amazing. The ensembles are amazing. I just love Jasmines dresses so much. I just want to watch this movie again and again just to see these beautiful dresses and colors

Here in Brazil,who dubbed the voice of Alladin was a great voice actor called Daniel Garcia. The amazing thing about this is that Daniel Garcia also goes by the stage name Gloria Groove. one of the greatest drag artists in Brazil. Please Hannah, if one day you can, get to know Gloria Groove's work, you will love it!!!

Can I just say how proud I am to consider myself Hannah’s student? I started watching these videos a couple of years ago and I don’t remember where I first saw her talk about tension in the neck/throat and i distinctly remember thinking back to Naomi singing speechless because I’d always thought that the tension was just a sign that the singer is putting a lot of power and emotion into it and it was Hannah who made me understand it. And as soon as I saw that she reacted to this movie I had to come back and hear what she had to say and AAAAHHHH I’m sorry for the rant lol but I just feel blessed to have been taught by Hannah 😭❤️

Watching your joy made me so emotional. Thank you.

this video brought me so much joy. and thats an oversimple comment, but today was going to be a bad mental health day and this absolutely changed that. thanks for the genuine happiness hannah.

I loved this live action. I thought the main three (Mena, Naomi and Will) were so well cast. Movie was colorful and fun. I do love Hannah’s reaction! Please cheetah girls. Way overdueeeee

This is actually one of my favorite live-action Disney movies. Cinderella takes the top slot but I really loved Maleficent and it's sequel too.

The costumes in this are fabulous! They are trying to make a second one, the last I heard there is a script in the works. I love to see you react to a cinderella story if the shoe fits.

I believe they started the live action with an epilogue was because in the animated movie, the story began with a travelling merchant (also voiced by the amazing Robin W.) who told the story of the lamp. And the movie was supposed to end with the reveal that the merchant was the genie all along but was cut due to time constraints. They kept the idea, considering that the live action genie also became a travelling merchant in the end. If I'm not wrong, the merchant that started story in the animation made a final appearance on Aladdin and the King of Thieves when Aladdin and Jasmine had one last carpet ride around Aggrabah after their wedding.

I don’t really know much about singing but I think her straining her voice adds emotion to the song

you should also watch the song taken out of Aladdin due to the movie being too long!! Its called Desert Moon. Alan Menken even did a intro for that song. Its so sweet

I did a lyrical/ballet dance to speechless a few years ago and it was one of my fav dances I’ve ever done!!

You need to watch the cut Aladdin and jasmine duet called desert moon! The harmonies are beautiful!

You really should react to the extra song, Desert Moon, it's sooooo beautiful. Another duet from Jasmine and Alladin.

i watched this movie with my dad and my twin sister on theaters on my 14th birthday, before the pandemic we'd always watch a movie together (my dad moved to a different city because of his job and so i haven't spent that much time with him lately), it brings me back good memories!!

THANKS FOR THE LIVE ACTION OF ALADDIN, I NEVER SEEN IT UNTIL TONIGHT.

Seen this in theaters and loved it

Speechless has always given me chills, it's great

actually Naomi Scott sang majority of speechless live during that part, which explains the veins. Oof, what a song to be able to sing-

Aladdin is by far my favorite live action movie Disney has done!! It’s is incredible!!!

This movie came out right after Aladdin was the school play and I was invited to watch it with the rest of the cast and I had almost the exact same reaction it’s so beautiful to look at

this was one of the live action adaptations i genuinely liked and enjoyed bc they had the flavor of the original but added their own twist especially in the music! everything was fresh and i think the budget on this was wooow. look at the outfits and all the colors and CGI! the casting was great i guess lol but especially mena as aladdin and naomi as jasmine, they were perfect! i was obsessed with mena for a whole year when this came out lmao. i love that you liked it too!

We are just moving through the live action Disney films! I have not seen this one, so I'm watching it for the first time with Ms. Hannah!

HANNAH!!! Thanks for the Sideways shoutout!!! He’s my favorite KZfaqr (besides you of course!) and I really appreciate you spreading his channel… he really deserves it

ahhh i'm so glad you mentioned the sideways video, my 2 faves in one place!

Oh God please queen PLEASE watch Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier!!!!! It's posted 100% legally for free on KZfaq by the production company that wrote, produced, and put on the musical. It's so good!! One where Jafar is the good guy and he's basically Jasmine's wholesome dad figure. It's comedic and witty and has really entertaining characters and wonderful music and Dylan Saunders is great as Jafar. I would die to see you review it!!!!

I went to see this in theaters and I’ll never forget seeing A Whole New World on the big screen 😭😭 so magical

When Naomi Scott sang “Speechless” she was singing it live while filming. One of the interviews they did when the movie came out mentions it.

I think that they did the intro for Aladdin like that as a nod to/to kind of confirm the theory that the merchant at the beginning of Aladdin was the Genie, people have theorized it because both characters are voiced by Robin Williams and the merchant's clothes mimic the Genie.
