The thing is, you're never going to perfectly recapitulate the genie in the cartoon. If they try too hard to duplicate it exactly, they know they're going to fail for sure. You have to differentiate a little bit. I'm holding off judgement until I see the movie. The trailer looks way better than the teaser.

The guy who played the Genie on Broadway (I believe he just left the cast) did an amazing job of honoring the original but still making it his own. And I have to say I was pretty skeptical going into the performance.........was not very happy with Jasmine however.

James Monroe Iglehart, he won a Tony for playing the Genie on Broadway. He was incredible! He’s now in Hamilton. Also loved him on Kimmy Schmidt!

I can’t see Will Smith as the Genie.

The names are cute and my grandtinker loves them, but in order to not get lost, all I do is take a pic of the row on my cell phone.

Currently the lots are named after types of media/performance - so like “Stage” and “Film” .... so definitely more fitting when it was supposed to be like a working studio/behind the scenes
 
My son and wife collect pressed pennies. We noticed a bunch of new machines on property during our visit 2 weeks ago. More quarter based machines too.
Still haven't managed to land the mission in France to earn the pressed penny with Agent P.

Same! Maybe it's a generational thing, but being a kid when Fresh Prince of Bel Air was airing and also when Aladdin originally came out makes me appreciate that he was cast as the Genie. Obviously it will be difficult for anyone to replicate Robin Williams, but I feel like he will put a new spin on it and be fun.

Just curious, were the new machines you noticed $0.51 for pennies and $1.25 for quarters or the newer ones that are more expensive? My DD has collected pressed pennies since she was a toddler but the rumour a couple of years ago that they were doing away with the machines as we knew then was disappointing. Just wondering what the new ones were like?

Also, we did the Agent P in France in December. When we were at the pressed penny portion of the mission we went to the place it indicated and a CM gave us an already pressed penny, we did not get to press our own. Not sure if this is the norm or not.

Some were all quarters, some were pennies. Some actually had credit card readers. When I saw the card readers.....I honestly didn't take a closer look, figuring if it took a credit card it was going to cost more than I felt it was worth. ;)

I want to say a new one was in Merchant of Venus in tomorrowland and one in by the bathrooms near splash mountain.
