At the D23 Expo, Marvel Studios shared some footage of Thanos battling the Avengers from Avengers: Infinity War - and it was apparently awesome.

Sources suggested that the search for a lead in Disney's live-action Aladdin has been "especially" difficult because the team is only looking at Middle Eastern and Indian actors. This is just plain racist.

Casting rumors here, casting rumors there, casting rumors everywhere.

Jay-Z held a free concert in support of Hillary Clinton last night in Cleveland, and Beyoncé unquestionably led the group of artists with her performance of "Formation".

In more really weird Disney news, we've got more info on the live-action Aladdin that's coming out. When we last reported on it, it seemed to be going in a prequel direction. However, that seems to have changed and to hear it described now, it will be closer to the classic animated film with which we're all familiar. However, that doesn't mean it isn't still weird. A director was announced today whom you've probably guessed from the title of this post: Guy Ritchie.

Princesses are everywhere these days, playing a variety of social roles that bear little resemblance to those of decades past. But what about their princes? How have they changed with the times? Snow White's Prince is just there to be a prince and that's all he needs to be, while Flynn/Eugene is bursting with identity, personality, and humor. As the roles of women have changed in society, the expectations for the role of "prince" have changed as well.

PrankvsPrank's Jesse Wellens and cosplayer Jessica Shanholtz did their best Aladdin and Jasmine while riding through San Francisco on this magic carpet -- probably a boosted board, not to ruin the illusion or anything.

What would 101 Dalmations look like if Tim Burton directed it? Or Sleeping Beauty?

As Donald Trump continues to whip the Republican base into a xenophobic fury, the disappointing polling results continue to come in—not the least of which that 54% of Republicans support Trump's proposed ban on Muslims (or that any percent of humanity supports Trump). No, the latest disappointment comes in relation to the fictional country of Agrabah.

Jonathan Freeman, best known for voicing Aladdin's Jafar sang some of our favorite Disney villain songs, complete with evil laughter and the appropriate theatrics.

There's been some neat Aladdin stuff in the news recently, from the deleted Genie scenes to Kane and Salonga singing "A Whole New World" for the new Diamond Edition Blu-ray release of the animated film.

In a special treat, Salonga and Kane performed A Whole New World with legendary composer Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, your whole childhood) accompanying on piano.

Disney is releasing an Aladdin Diamond Edition Blu-ray Combo Pack including new clips of Robin Williams recording for his Genie role, and to celebrate, Aladdin's creative team appeared on Good Morning America to honor the late actor.

Screen Junkies' skewering of old Disney classics continues with this "Honest Trailer" for Aladdin, featuring a new twist on the Genie's friendship ditty: "You're Never Gonna Recast Me."

A slew of Disney properties have gotten a live-action makeover. Some have gotten the straight-up remake treatment. Others tell the same story from the antagonist's point of view. Now, the world of Aladdin is coming to life in a live-action feature film - in the form of a prequel titled Genies.

Can't have Halloween without cats.

Lea Salonga will always have a place in the hearts of girls of a certain age, for bringing her considerable vocal talent to the singing voices of both Jasmine and Mulan. Singing here with Il Divo, Salonga proves that - though it might be two decades since Aladdin hit theaters - she can still show us a whole new world.
