One of my least favorite things in the world is admitting I was wrong.<\/p>\n
You know where this is going.<\/p>\n
About a year and a half ago Disney released a new, live-action version of\u00a0Aladdin<\/em>, starring Will Smith (of all people) as the Genie and for the past year and a half I’ve flat-out refused to see it. Why? Simple. The cartoon version of\u00a0Aladdin<\/em> (1992–also Disney) is so awesome I figured nothing could ever compare.<\/p>\n Well, the cartoon version is still my favorite, but I must admit the 21st offering is pretty dang good as well. The music, the sets, the costumes… I even liked Will Smith. Gettin’ genie wit it.<\/p>\n The tale of Aladdin and his lamp and a thousand and one nights and all that has been around a long time for a reason. It’s good. And we take care with things that are\u00a0good<\/em> because it’s so easy to mess them up. Fearing a mess up I avoided seeing this film until my son talked me into it this past weekend. I’m glad he did. And I’ll admit… I was wrong.<\/p>\n First time for everything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of my least favorite things in the world is admitting I was wrong.
