A Whole New World… Arabian Nights.. Prince Ali.. One Jump Ahead… Of course, I am talking about the amazing Aladdin! When I was younger, Aladdin ranked in my top ten favorite Disney movies so I was over the moon excited when they released a brand new live version of Aladdin starring the incredible Will Smith. The first time I saw the live version of Aladdin in the movie, I took my 5 year old who had not seen the original to that point. After seeing the live version another 2 times, we introduced her to the classic, animated Aladdin and now Princess Jasmine is all the rage in our household! We even put an order in for Aladdin sheets. Now, the live version as well as the animated version is available to purchase on DVD! You can get a double whammy of fun, excitement, and Disney with both of these versions of Aladdin.
The live-action adaptation of the animated classic, Aladdin, is now available on Digital and Movies Anywhere, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD. StarringWill Smith, Naomi Scott and Mena Massoud, the release includes all new bonus features, such as deleted scenes, a blooper reel and more!
