It's not up to the public to pick the cast, the people making the movie have every right to choose their cast. The public can either go see the movie or not that is their choice.?
NO! I will not watch this version. With all due respect, but this choice is unacceptable. Disney again destroys a beautiful story. I am very disappointed.
Honestly, without him this film would be way different and pretty much boring. I love this actor and was happy when he was chosen for this role. He didn't disappoint me :)
Like Aladdin, for example. Truly enjoyed the movie, laughed and had a good time. Will Smith was the star of the movie!
