Over the past few years, Disney has dominated the big screens with live-action versions of our favorite classic tales—Beauty and the Beast, Alice In Wonderland, and The Jungle Book, to name a few.
Their latest cinematic venture is a brand new adaptation of Aladdin featuring an all-star cast. The most recent trailer for Aladdin dropped on Sunday and people are having some strong opinions about the genie.
Sunday night, an all-new trailer dropped for Disney’s live-action ‘Aladdin’ coming this May.

The trailer gave fans a first look at many of the story’s iconic characters including the genie played by Will Smith.
And it wasn’t long before Twitter began roasting the hell out of Smith’s look.

Will Smith as the genie looks like what one of those kids from the 90’s Fruit Gushers commercials would look like if they never found a cure for their fruit curse.
