New clip from Disney’s Aladdin can make you a prince

Sure, the Genie of the Lamp can make Aladdin a prince, but it’s all in how he asks. There’s a lot of gray area in a request like that. A new extended clip from Disney’s Aladdin reveals how Genie and Aladdin get to work on one of his three wishes, to be made a prince so he can marry Princess Jasmine.

That ‘Prince’ the Genie conjures up is supposedly a character named Prince Anders (Billy Magnussen) a handsome and arrogant but bumbling and dim witted suitor from Skanland who hopes to wed Jasmine.

In this clip we see a little bit of how the live-action adaption of Aladdin will differ from the animated version. The more liberties it takes from the original the better in my book.
