Disney's Aladdin (2019), which released in cinemas in May 2019, is now available on Disney's new streaming platform, Disney Plus. The film, which stars Will Smith as the Genie, Mena Massoud as Aladdin, and Naomi Scott as Jasmine, can now be watched by anyone who subscribes to the service.

The movie, while not a classic on par with Disney's 1992 original, is pretty solid, and was received relatively well by many critics.

Aladdin is the only new release on Disney Plus today, but there are still a few interesting releases to come during January. January 10 will see the release of Marvel's Runaways season 3, meaning that the whole series will be available. The same day will also see the season finale of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series releasing.

January 22 will also herald the release of the first season of Bluey, an excellent children's show from Australia. The finales of Encore and The World According to Jeff Goldblum will air on January 24.

Aladdin did well enough in cinemas that a sequel is being discussed. It is one of six Disney films released in 2019 to earn over $1 billion (soon to be seven thanks to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.)
