re: New Aladdin teaser with Will Smith Genie

I don’t necessarily know that it was the cgi that was the worst part with that short of a clip, but I do know that it did not at all feel like the genie. Robin Williams’ voice is just too perfect for that role, hearing Will Smith try to pull it off felt exceedingly empty.

Since he's going to be CGI'd anyway...
I listened to Williams in a few different roles, and tried to think of someone with the same inflections and speaking. Not necessarily in full manic mode, but just as an actor. I realized... Peter Dinklage.
Before you scoff, go listen to him in some of Tyrion's better scenes. Listen to the voice, the tone, the way he emphasizes certain words. Very similar to some of Williams' more sedate roles. I'd be curious to see if he could crank it up a few notches (maybe wire him out on something )

It's hard for anyone to follow Williams here, but it really doesn't feel right.
I was expecting to be wow'ed and it just came off unusual.
