Since its big screen release back in 1992, the magical tale of Aladdin has enchanted generations of viewers with its story of a plucky street urchin’s discovery of a magical lamp and its wish-granting inhabitant.

Almost three decades later, Disney invites audiences to once again experience the wondrous sights and sounds of Agrabah with a live-action adaptation of the beloved animated feature.

Prepare to witness the timeless rags-to-riches tale like never before, as a common thief attempts to overcome a power-hungry Grand Vizier and win the heart of his one true love.

The rambunctious and dynamic directing style of Guy Ritchie promises to unveil a series of action-packed sequences that weave between shadowy back alleys, vibrant parades, vast desert plains, and palatial splendour. Meanwhile, the much-loved musical numbers are back in force, with veteran composer Alan Menken returning to once again sprinkle his signature melodic magic upon his original Oscar-winning compositions.

Will Smith’s wisecracking Genie provides some serious star power to a cast of young and emerging actors that promise to reinvigorate the legend of Aladdin for modern audiences, while ensuring existing fans are left dazzled as they watch their favourite moments and characters come to life.
