People have turned Will Smith's blue Genie from the live-action 'Aladdin' movie into a hilarious yet 'terrifying' meme

Disney is working its way through a roster of live-action remakes of its classic animated movies, and "Aladdin" is next on deck.

Following the release of a new trailer during Sunday night's Grammy Awards, as INSIDER's Kim Renfro previously reported, people are feeling dubious about the choice to do a live-action cast with a CGI version of Will Smith as the iconic Genie. Many people found the blue body with Smith's face imposed on top either "terrifying" or just downright uncanny.

A few days later, fans have had some time to sit with the image — and, as with anything mildly off-putting on the internet, it's become a ubiquitous meme.

Some viewers came up with hilariously accurate comparisons.

Others have felt geniunely haunted by the image, joking that it's the stuff of nightmares and sleep paralysis.

"Aladdin," directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine and Mena Massoud as Aladdin, arrives in theaters on May 24.
