Box office projections for
Dumbo this weekend are relatively modest but not every live-action adaptation of Disney's classic cartoons is going to be a hit. After all, while
The Lion King will almost certainly be a hit, what about
Aladdin? There's no reason to think it can't be something special but Guy Ritchie being at the helm obviously has a lot of people fairly worried.
Throw in the controversy surrounding Will Smith's CGI Genie and it's hard to escape the feeling that the movie is either going to be a lot of fun or a complete disappointment for longtime fans.
Time will tell on that front but Disney has today released a series of character posters putting the spotlight on Aladdin (Mena Massoud), Jasmine (Naomi Scott), Genie (Will Smith), and Jafar (Marwan Kenzari). They're pretty cool and the best thing about them may be the fact we get our best look yet at CGI creations Abu, Iagu, and Rajah.
