So this summer’s upcoming live-action “Aladdin”<\/a> has been catching hell since the first terrifying shots of Will Smith’s genie character hit the internet. Today, we got more than a minute of this movie’s version of the song “Prince Ali.” Buckle up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is even going on here? As Vulture pointed out, the song is now sllloooooww.<\/a> Refresh your memory of the original. It’s jaunty, it’s bombastic, it’s packed with life.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the live-action version feels like a low-energy rehearsal for the real thing. Also weird: Smith’s trademark “ha ha” and “woo” and “uh-huh” ad-libs feel like something he’s doing just to kill time.<\/p>\n

Also, why are we seeing ostriches during the “exotic-type mammals” line? Was no one even looking at the lyrics?<\/p>\n

Disney’s live-action “Aladdin” arrives in theaters on May 24.<\/p>\n
