Live Action Aladdin Trailer Reaction

Disney being Disney dropped a new peek at Live Action Aladdin during the Grammys. Aladdin is my favourite Disney film and I was really apprehensive about the whole idea but the more I see the more excited I get about it. I quite like Disney Live Action films they give another dimension to the stories that we already love, Live Action Cinderella is my all time favourite. Also, I love having actual people as the characters it makes it so much easier when thinking about it and watching.

So the trailer itself is longer than the teaser we got a couple of months ago but still quite short in retrospect. Once again we start with Iago and the desert but this time at nightime to the Cave of Wonders which looks incredible. Whilst all this is going on we have the enchanting music of Arabian Nights which is amazing. We finally get a look at Jafar who has convinced Aladdin to retrieve the lamp from the Cave where we also get the full look at Aladdin and Abu who reminds me of Jack the monkey out of Pirates of the Caribbean. Then we get another look at beautiful Agrabah in the daylight. Excitingly we have what looks like to be a snipet of Prince Ali but still no look at Prince Ali himself which I'm excited for. This looks like it's going to be a colourful occasion. We get a proper look at the lovely Prince Jasmine, Niomi Scott looks perfect I love the colours in her outfit and how she presents herself as a strong princess. There is also Rajah in the background as well. The next bit I nearly screamed even though it's just Aladdin and Jasmine joining hands but it looks like the lead up to A Whole New World which again I cannot wait for. We then have Aladdin stuck whilst the Cave of Wonders crashes around him, Disney have gone all out with the CGI, I think this will be a visaully stunning film in more ways than one. Then finally we have what everyone has been waiting for Aladdin rubs the lamp and we FINALLY get a look at Will Smith in all his blue Genie gloriousness and I personally am impressed he looks like a Genie and that's what it should be. I love his lines at the end he's going to be a sassy Genie. Also in the background again we see Carpet which I think is a very underated Disney character he's amazing and looks exactly as he should. Whilst all of this is going on the music changes to instrumental Friend Like Me and yes it was then stuck in my head all day.

Honestly, this trailer made my day I wanted to scream with excitement the whole time watching it and I've rewatched a million times since. I have no idea why I doubted Disney in the first place, they just know how to get you. However, I do appreciate people have different opinions on this and that's fair enough but I am SO excited for this now, roll on May.

Review- Everybody’s Talking About Jamie Tour

This weekend I went and watched the tour cast of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre. I’ve not seen this show before but it has been on my list for a long time. I’d only heard one or two songs before so I was going in with no ideas of what it was like and I found it very enjoyable. Background This is based on the true story of 16 year old Jamie New who dreams of being a drag queen as well as wearing a dress to his prom. Throughout the show we see Jamie go through a journey of self discovery which has so many highs and lows. Along the way we meet people who are and aren’t supportive of his dream and how much prejudice he has to contend with. The show first opened on the West End in 2017 and is currently on its second UK tour. Cast The cast of this show were fabulous, unfortunately didn't get to see Ivano Turco play Jamie, Finton Flynn was incredible in those red heels. He portrayed the emotion of playing Jamie perfectly as well showing the young silly ...

Wallace Collection: Inspiring Walt Disney

Earlier this month I booked tickets to see the new Inspiring Walt Disney exhibition at the Wallace Collection in London. This is about how French design inspired Walt Disney in his films especially Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast. The exhibition is located on the bottom floor of the building, and you can either pre book your slot or pay when you get there. There is also an optional digital tour guide and head set for free, which I did pick up but struggled with the headphones so ended up listening to bits I wanted to as opposed to the whole exhibition. I would recommend picking up one if you have time and you are really interested in the animation side, as they speak to the animators at Disney and how they produced the various ideas for the films. The exhibition starts with a quote from Walt Disney on the wall. It then goes into how Walt visited Europe for holidays and to gather visual references for his films. There was a black and white film of Walt and his family on holiday in P...

Carrie Hope Fletcher Book Signing

Hey Guys On Monday 12th September I attended Carrie Hope Fletcher's book signing for her fiction book On The Other Side at the Glee Club in Birmingham. This is the second time I have met Carrie and once again she was an absolute pleasure to listen too. I attended this event on my own, and I must stay that I think the Glee Club and the Waterstones team planned and hosted the event so well considering there was 350 people that turned up to this event and each one of those people had bought a ticket and a book. We were seated quite early as doors opened at 6 and I was in a seat by 6:30 with the event starting at 7, however there were people who turned up 10 minutes before the event and had to stand up because of all the seats that were taken which gives you an idea of how many people attended this event. Before the signing of the actual books, there was a 40 minute question and answer session with a representative from Waterstones asking Carrie questions about her book, being...
