Last night (February 10) saw the release of the second teaser for the upcoming live-action Disney adaptation of their classic movie, Aladdin. In it, we got our first glimpse at Will Smith as the Genie of the Lamp, and whilst we always knew he'd have a lot to live up to after Robin Williams's iconic voice work in the role, none of us were quite prepared for what we got.

Spending just a couple of minutes on social media allows you a glimpse into the response that Smith's look as Genie has garnered. There's some praise out there, but most of all, people are a little confused and scared! Here are seven of the best reactions we found...

7. Sleep tight...

6. Make a choice!

5. BOO!

4. Oh, Will...

3. Don't be scared...

2. Quite the throwback!

1. Crossover incoming?

Of course we'll be waiting for the official release of the movie until we fully pass judgement, but things aren't looking good for Smith's version of Genie! Perhaps the colourful parade and rest of the film can make up for what looks like it'll be a deal-breaker for many?
