This year is moving so fast, isn’t it? And Disney is off to a rip-roaring year with Avengers: Endgame making GOBS of money so far in its two week run. As of Monday, May 7, 2019, Avengers: Endgame has earned $632 million domestically and $2.24 billion world wide. Wow. That’s a LOT of money. But of course, we know that Disney wants ALL our money, so they’re not stopping with Avengers: Endgame. Nope. They have several more BIG releases coming this year. Not as big as Avengers: Endgame, of course, but still BIG.
Aladdin is next up, releasing May 24. June 21 will bring us Toy Story 4 and July 19 brings us The Lion King. Oh my goodness! BIG summer at the movies for Disney fans!
With the release of Aladdin only a couple of weeks away, Disney is ramping up the marketing campaign. We have several new film clips, trailers and TV spots that have been released over the last 10 days.
We also have a new poster. Take a look:
If you want to see the previous trailers and teasers, check out this post.
Keep reading to see all the latest Aladdin trailers and film clips.
TV Commercial: Wingman
First up is the latest TV spot, focusing on Will Smith as the Genie and his efforts to bring Aladdin and Jasmine together.
Aladdin Film Clip: A Whole New World
Next we have a brief scene from the movie to whet our appetite for the “Whole New World” duet that we KNOW is coming.
I really like this scene, and can’t wait to see more of the two of them together.
Aladdin Film Clip: I Wish to Become a Prince
Some of this scene we’ve seen in the second trailer, but this is a whole 30 second scene of the moment where Aladdin tells the Genie he wants to be a Prince, rather than just the 4-7 second snip we saw in the trailer.
I have to say, I really like Will Smith as the Genie. Very different energy from the original animated Robin Williams version, but I think that’s a GOOD thing. I LOVED that version, and wouldn’t want an imitation. I think Will Smith making his OWN version of the Genie is good. And remember, for younger audiences and first time viewers, his Genie may become THEIR Genie.
TV Commercial: Inside
This is a great 30 second commercial focusing on the overall message of Aladdin. The outside packaging isn’t all that important, it’s what’s INSIDE that matters.
TV Commercial: Confident
I like this commercial–its focusing a little more on the big set pieces and the extravagance than we’ve seen in some of the other spots.
TV Commercial: Basics
This is a good “general” Aladdin commercial. It provides a very brief overview of the main points…there’s a Genie, a lamp and a flying carpet. The Genie can do lots of cool stuff. Aladdin likes a girl. {sigh}
TV Commercial: Rags to Riches
This is another quick TV commercial hitting the highlights. Mainly focusing on Aladdin as a “street rat” and his finding the Genie.
Disney’s #Friendlikeme Challenge
I LOVE it when Disney does stuff like this:
Here’s how it works:

So PLEASE, post on Instagram and/or Twitter every day and include the tag #Friendlikeme so we can get Make-a-Wish that $1 million!

UPDATE May 14, 2019
Disney has released several new Aladdin film clips and trailers since I put up this post. Rather than do another separate post, I just decided to add the new promos to this post. Enjoy!
TV Commercial: On Fire
This spot focuses on Will Smith’s Genie showing off his magic.
TV Commercial: Stumbled Upon
There’s not really any new visuals in this short spot, but Jafar’s creepy voice over persuading Aladdin to retrieve the lamp for him is mostly new, and the visuals focus on the “adventure” aspects of the film.
TV Commercial: Dalia
This quick spot focuses more on Jasmine’s perspective than the other trailers we’ve seen. It’s short, but I like it a lot. See what you think:
TV Commercial: Friend
Only a couple “new” elements in this 45 second spot, but the focus is on the Genie. I think this is a fun one.
Featurette: Cast of Wonders
This is a short behind the scenes featurette, showing brief snippets from the primary cast members.
I hope you enjoyed these latest additions!
Happy Dreaming!
Brooke
