Will Smith as Genie is terrifying in the live Aladdin movie

Aladdin. The name conjures up images of a quick thief in the streets, an Arabian city from centuries ago, an evil vizier, and a large terrifying blue genie. Some things just don't translate well from the cartoon version to a live film with actual people on the silver screen. It turns out that the genie from Aladdin is one of them. With comments on social media describing 'Will Smith as Genie is straight nightmare fuel' (sic) director Guy Ritchie may have to work some magic of his own to get this whole new world off the ground and into cinemas.

I would like to know if he is cosplaying as a smurf or something from Avatar.

    Yo, listen up here's the story
    About a little guy that lives in a blue world
    And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue
    Like him inside and outside

    Blue his house
    With a blue little window
    And a blue corvette
    And everything is blue for him
    And himself and everybody around
    'Cause he ain't got nobody to listen...

    I'm blue
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    I'm blue
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die

    I have a blue house with a blue window
    Blue is the colour of all that I wear
    Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
    I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
    Blue are the people here that walk around
    Blue like my corvette its in and outside
    Blue are the words I say and what I think
    Blue are the feelings that live inside me

    I'm blue
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    I'm blue
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
    Da ba dee, da ba die
