Hollywood is the largest film industries in the world. The biggest studio of Hollywood Disney has given us some of the best animated films in the history of cinema. From the story to the quality of animation and voice actors, these movies are still the gem of the cinema. However, Disney is turning its top animated films into live actions. After the success of The Jungle Book (2016) and Beauty and the Beast (2017), Disney is all set to release two upcoming live actions extravaganza Aladdin and The Lion King in 2019.
Back in December 2018, people were treated with the first look of upcoming Aladdin film when a top magazine cover was graced by Will Smith, Mena Massoud, and Naomi Scott. Fans went nuts and the pictures were trending for days on social media.
Now, the teaser of Aladdin is out, which gives us a glimpse of what to expect from the movie. You can watch the teaser down below.
However, Will Smith’s Genie look has been bugging fans of the movie. His version of genie has failed to make a mark on the audience. As a result, they took to Twitter to react strongly to the genie of the upcoming Aladdin film. Take a look at some of the reactions down below.

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.

I think this is a actually a good side by side for how to do and NOT to do a CG character with an actor's facial features applied. Thanos looks like he's actually a living character in the movie, Genie looks like he just has Will Smith's face copy-pasted on. https://t.co/caxTOVZonJ
