Sigh, the outrage brigade is attacking Aladdin.

[Svengoolie 3]

People with waaay too much time and too little sense are going nucking futs over the new live Aladdin movie because will smith is (gasp!) painted blue instead of playing the role in his natural color.

Naturally some peopel are claiming it's  racist.

Gimme a break.

I can see the headline now:

"Smurfs Call For Boycott of New 'Aladdin,' Say 'Blueface Is Not OK" :)

Yup, sure seems like it'd be racist.

The article doesn't mention racism; most of the comments it quotes call the design dumb or creepy.

It's just a big blue guy; something they could've done in the 60's with a little paint.

That was one article, there were others.

I could have sworn this movie was made before. Called Shazam. With Sinbad as the genie.

Kazaam, with shaq.

@Svengoolie 3 - Yeah, I was just making a joke about the Mandela Effect videos you see on YouTube.
