Aladdin is a 2019 American musical fantasy film
produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Guy Ritchie, who co-wrote the

from One Thousand and One Nights.[1][a] The film stars Will Smith, Mena
Massoud, Naomi Scott, Marwan KeAnzari, Navid Negahban, Nasim Pedrad, Billy
Magnussen, and Numan Acar, as well as the voices of Alan Tudyk and Frank
Welker. The plot follows Aladdin, a street urchin, as he falls in love with
Princess Jasmine, befriends a wish-granting Genie, and battles the wicked
Jafar.
It was theatrically
released in the United States on May 24, 2019. It has grossed $1 billion
worldwide, becoming the sixth highest-grossing film of 2019, and the 34th
highest-grossing film of all-time. The film received mixed reviews from
critics, who praised the performances of Smith, Massoud and Scott, the costumes
and the musical score, but criticized Ritchie's direction and the CGI effects.
Critics were also divided on the deviations from the original animated film,
such as Kenzari's casting and characterization of Jafar.
