Fabulous he! Will Smith, as the Genie, performs Prince Ali during a parade

 

Disney's live-action remake of Aladdin has still yet to hit theaters, but many fans of the original are already incredibly disappointed with Will Smith's turn as the Genie.

 

This week, Disney released a preview clip from the movie, which premieres on May 24.

 

In it, the Genie sings the popular song 'Prince Ali' while Aladdin himself, disguised as a prince, is ushered through town in the middle of a parade.

 

But whereas the musical number was an exciting comedic high point of the original animated film, many fans are saying this version falls flat and is lacking energy.

Well this is to be expected. I don't really have that high regards for his casting but also on his skill to be able to pull off a great musical performance than what Robin Williams did. 

Smith has a very small range. This won’t be in his wheelhouse.
