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.

    Blueface is offensive to drowning victims and very cold people.

        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

        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
