How to watch Aladdin online: Stream Disney’s newest take on the classic story

You don’t have to rub a magic lamp to watch Disney’s live-action Aladdin online. The 2019 remake stars Mena Massoud as the famous Disney prince and Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine (not to mention Will Smith in the beloved role of Genie). It follows an identical storyline to the 1992 animated film of the same name, in which an outlaw named Aladdin falls in love with Princess Jasmine, is granted three wishes from a magical Genie, and ultimately faces off against the power-hungry villain Jafar. Luckily, the classic animated feature is just as good — if not better — in this live-action spin. Here’s how to watch Aladdin online.

Directed By: Guy Ritchie
Cast: Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott, Will Smith, Marwan Kenzari, Navid Negahban
Runtime: 128 minutes

Disney+ offers full access to the live-action flick when you sign up for its monthly subscription plan. The plan costs $7 per month and allows users to stream all of the popular titles, like Aladdin, in its expansive content library. Unfortunately, the platform is no longer offering a free trial upon sign-up. However, they do offer a one-time payment of $70 for an annual subscription, which would coast $14 less than having to pay month-to-month. Additionally, Disney+ has a family-friendly plan — the $13-per-month Disney+ Bundle, which offers full access to the Disney+ streaming service as well as Hulu and ESPN+. No matter which of the service’s subscriptions you opt for, the live-action Aladdin will be readily available for streaming on all three.

Disney+ is the best place to watch Aladdin online. The service currently doesn’t offer a free trial, so you’ll need to hand over $7 for a month’s access if you want to watch it. You’ll have access to the entire Disney+ catalog after, too.

Aside from Disney+, Aladdin is only available for online streaming by individual purchase. You can rent the film for $4 or buy it for $20 on Amazon Prime Video. Alternatively, on iTunes, you could rent the movie for a dollar less at $3 or pay the same as Prime’s $20 price for purchase.

Upon its initial release, Aladdin grossed $1 billion worldwide, making it the ninth-highest-grossing film of 2019 and the 34th highest-grossing film of all-time. Thus, Disney took the popular animated film and made it into a hit live-action phenomenon for audiences of all ages. If you haven’t yet, it’s time to stream the flick online and let Aladdin take you on a new and improved magic carpet ride.

YouTube is reworking the Home page with Custom Feeds and quicker access to Subscriptions
Saved Custom Feeds are rolling out as YouTube also experiments with a redesigned Home navigation bar.

YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.

YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.

EXCLUSIVE: How Klara and the Sun warns of a future where humans compete with AI
What Does Klara and the Sun Say About the Dangers of AI?
Jenna Ortega stars in Klara and the Sun.

Artificial intelligence has already changed people's lives, both at home and at work, but what happens when people start treating AI as a replacement for their loved ones? Filmmaker Taika Waititi explores this terrifying idea with his new sci-fi movie, Klara and the Sun. Based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, the film follows Klara, a solar-powered "Artificial Friend" played by Jenna Ortega, as she bonds with Josie, a sick teenager.

Klara and the Sun paints an unusual, unsettling portrait of a world with AI. Essentially The Wizard of Oz meets Blade Runner, Waititi's dystopian film is filled with his brand of vibrant visuals and quirky humor. But beneath all that, the film tells a deeper, more serious story about AI and whether it can cause the downfall of society and human connection.

Spotify has kicked 50 million AI slop tracks out of your recommendations
Spotify is cleaning up your music recommendations, and AI-generated spam is finally getting the boot.

Finding new music on Spotify is one of those little joys that can turn an ordinary day around. You play a song you love, let the recommendations take over, and occasionally stumble upon an artist you wish you’d discovered sooner. But with AI making it ridiculously easy to produce music in bulk, not everything landing in your recommendations deserves a listen.

Spotify knows this is becoming a problem, and it’s acting on it. The streaming giant has revealed it filtered more than 50 million spammy, low-quality tracks from its recommendations this year. That’s on top of another 75 million tracks it has completely removed from the platform for repeatedly or seriously breaking its rules. And Spotify isn’t stopping there — it wants to make sure actual artists aren’t buried under an endless stream of AI-generated content.
