Aladdin Trailer Breakdown: 10 Things You Need To See

10. Bollywood Colors

One of the most striking things about the new trailer is just how vibrant and colorful a lot of the practical design elements of Agrabah seem to be.

In the original animated film, the location was mostly characterized by sand-like colors that served as excellent canvases for the purples and oranges that played such a role in the film's larger color palette. The trailer for the new film, however, takes things in a distinctly different direction.

Rather than sticking with the animated film, which could have easily resulted in a very bland and uncinematic Agrabah in live-action, they've opted to take inspiration from classic Bollywood film and crank the colors up to their maximum voltage.

The end result is an Agrabah that is stuffed to the brim with gonzo colors. Honestly, this is a really smart move as this is, by far, the most interesting stylistic choice featured in the trailer.
