“Aladdin” (2019) is a live-action adaptation of Disney’s 1992 animated classic, directed by Guy Ritchie. This reimagining of the beloved tale brings the vibrant world of Agrabah to life with a mix of dazzling visuals, memorable music, and a fresh take on the iconic characters.

The plot of the film closely follows the original animated version. Aladdin, played by Mena Massoud, is a kind-hearted street urchin who dreams of a better life. His fortunes change when he encounters Princess Jasmine, portrayed by Naomi Scott, who is determined to experience life beyond the palace walls. Their paths cross again when Aladdin is enlisted by the nefarious sorcerer Jafar, played by Marwan Kenzari, to retrieve a magical lamp from the Cave of Wonders.

The film’s soundtrack, composed by Alan Menken with contributions from Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, features beloved classics such as “A Whole New World” alongside new additions like “Speechless,” a powerful solo performed by Naomi Scott’s Jasmine. This new song underscores Jasmine’s desire for autonomy and leadership, adding depth to her character.
