That’s exactly what happened and you know it. I know Aladdin had a bad trailer,but the fact that they released this means that they REALLY wanted to clear the air and get some good will back in the audience’s minds. So here’s some Frozen 2: This is probably the best kind of teaser trailer,primarily because it’s actually a teaser that’s showcasing the progression of animation … Continue reading Disney Broke The Emergency Sequel Glass Because Aladdin’s Gonna Suck
