Summary: I Lost the movie but I didn't forget it`
Review: When this movie came out, I drew inspiration from these three characters : The Genie, Abu the Monkey and Iago the Parrot. I'm was and still am a combonation of the three of them. I lost this movie somehow. I'd like to think My mother hid it from me when I wasnt home one day. I used to watch it 2 or 3 times a day. Before school (I had to wake up early), after school and before bed. I havent found my princess Jasmine yet. But maybe I will in a whole new world. Get this movie. You'll love it. I know I did.

Summary: Wonderful! Spectacular! Sheer fun!
Review: Aladdin is a triumph for disney. Along with Lion King, this is one of my favorite movies of all time. I loved the Genie, voiced by Robin Williams, and his humorous antics and impersonations. I couldn't stop humming along with the songs as they played. The animations is spectacular for a disney movie. I couldn't stop laughing at the scene where the Genie says, "...Jafar, Jafar, he's our man, if he can't do it..GREAT!"And I loved how Iago was the perfect foil to Jafar, a serious villain. I also enjoyed the love story that unravels around Aladdin and Jasmine. Jasmine is the girl that every guy wants, and Aladdin is the sweet, handsome young man that every girl dreams of. I also enjoyed the personifications of the carpet, and his expressions. Gilbert Godfried was the perfect voice for Iago. I love everything about this movie, and can't wait 'till it comes out on DVD. I've heard that it comes out in 2004. I guarantee I'll be one of the first people to place an advanced order on Amazon.com for this DVD. I loved it!

Summary: Aladdin
Review: This movie is one of my favorites of all time. I remember, when I was a kid I watched it a lot and I was always playing with the small characters... These where the best days of my life, being a kid, the toys and all. I'm 19 right now so it is getting a little more serious and complicated, I've got to pay my own bills you know lol, pay when I go to the movies, work on the weekend... Back to this film, it is really great, I mean it's one of my own classics. The DVD is coming in 2004 and the film will get the IMAX treatment so it should be cool.. Opens in IMAX theaters January 1, 2003!

Summary: JAFAR RULES!!!
Review: This is a great Disney movie. The wit, the animation, the storyline, and characters are wonderful. There's even some suspense in here (well, suspenseful for a DISNEY movie, mind you). But, above all elements, the best thing in the entire movie is the villain, Jafar. He is the saltan's (king's) advisor, and he hypnotizes him with his staff to program him to do what he commands. Jafar is insane! He's such a cool Disney villain. Jafar's maniacal laugh, his twisted hynotizing, his possibly implied pervertiveness, and his wisecracking parrot, Iago, makes him one of the finest Disney villains to grace the theatre. The storyline is great too, and the songs are excellent (especially Jafar's song). This is actually entertaining for adults too. I recommend it for fans of Disney movies, and for fans of Disney villains.

Summary: A Movie Classic for all generations
Review: This is an old-fashioned fairy tale with all the typical ingredients - romance, adventure, magic and an evil villain. The hero of the story is Aladdin; a young boy, whose adventures reflect the classic American Dream. Aladdin begins as a petty thief accompanied by only one companion who is, albeit intelligent, a monkey named Abu. Together, they steal to keep themselves alive in the city of Agrabah. The plot gets going when the free-spirited Princess Jasmine attracts Aladdin's eye, first as the runaway, and then as the distant princess. Aladdin is basically a love story detailing the difficulties that both Aladdin and Jasmine go through to reach happily ever after. However, to add spice to the story, Jafar, the Sultan's evil vizier and Iago (Jafar's outspoken parrot) are attempting to take over the kingdom through magical devices, most notably, through the use of the genie of the lamp. The Genie can grant him three wishes - but cannot bring the dead to life, or kill anyone, or make anyone fall in love. So Aladdin hits on a plan to have the Genie turn him into the fabulously heroic and wealthy Prince Ali, a suitable suitor for the princess, and he sweeps into town to win the Princess's heart. This antagonizes Jafar But as luck would have it, Jafar then seizes control over the lamp, and Aladdin, Jasmine, and their friends must defeat the scoundrel to return peace and happiness to the city. Disney has a way of tapping into the human psyche, building appeal for its movies on our very hopes and dreams. Aladdin starts off as a poor boy with no name or family to call his own - but in the end, he has the hand and heart of the princess, the gratitude of the king and city, and the loyalty of true friends. In my opinion, Rockefeller could not have done better in his wildest dreams. This is the American Dream at its finest (forget the fact that this movie is set in ancient Arabia). In addition, this movie speaks to the romantic in all of us. Love conquers all, at least in Disney movies. And last, but not least, for the barbarian in all of us, there's the action. David and Goliath, Jack vs. the Giant, Aladdin and his fight against the evil Jafar - this is a prime example of the triumph of good over evil, a proclamation that the world is as we want it: fair and just. Add to this the soundtrack as only Disney can provide, and Aladdin becomes one of the true classic movies of all time. This was one of the movies that first built Disney's reputation as a veritable genius of rhyme and rhythm. These songs are so diverse (rollicking tunes, a love ballad, as well as instrumental accompaniments to Aladdin's adventures), and the lyrics are incredibly witty. This movie is great for family viewing, as well as for older audiences that just want a return to a simpler world where love and adventure always lead to a happy ending Aladdin ranks as one of the truly great classic movies, an honor it can share with Citizen Kane, and with some other Disney hits. The film premiered in November 1992 and has been such a total success that it spawned sequels and a TV series and a growing line of various tie-ins, even a decade after its release. You would be very well advised to buy (not rent) a copy for your home. Aladdin is a Disney feature length animation (I think #30 from the Disney studios). The artwork is superb, so are the songs, and the screenplay (which owes something to the 1940 Sabu film, The Thief of Bagdad - spelled without an H), but the lion's share of the success is attributable to the vocal gymnastics of Robin Williams, who does the voice(s) of the Genie. I really don't want to spoil this for you. This movie is truly excellent for anyone over the age of about six (below that age the suspense and swashbuckling may be too frightening). Besides Robin Williams, the voices include Scott Weinger (Aladdin), Linda Larkin (Jasmine -- the singing is done by Broadway sensation Lea Solanga), Gilbert Gottfried (the parrot), Jonathan Freeman (Jafar), and Bruce Adler (singing the intro song, the lamp merchant -- and listening to the soundtrack album I'd had sworn that Robin Williams was also doing his monologue). I want to point out the high quality of the writing -- the dialog is intelligent and the characters act appropriately to their age. It is neither too technical for kids nor too dumbed down for adults. The plot is very well done. This movie has a lesson, something that is sometimes missing even from Disney classics - be yourself; Aladdin succeeds when he relies on his own abilities and his own identity rather than on the Genie's magic and illusion. Shortly after the film came out, there was a flurry of complaints about it from some Arab-American spokespersons. One complaint got a line in the introductory song changed (the change is in the home versions but not in the original soundtrack recording), which may have been the right thing to do. Another complaint some of them had was that this movie takes place in the fictional Agrabah instead of what they claimed was the "original" location of Baghdad (this was only a year after Desert Storm). This complaint deserves an answer. This is a truly excellent movie that will stay with us like The Wizard of Oz. This movie was such a success that it led a number of feature-length straight-to-video sequel movies and a non-musical TV series, with most of the same cast (except the Genie was done by Dan Castellaneta, who does the voice of Homer Simpson and a bunch of others). If your kids liked this, consider (if they're ten or older) renting the old Ray Harryhausen movies about Sinbad. The Bottom Line:
One of the true motion picture classics for the ages (well, the ages above six years old). Excellent in every way.

Summary: comic genius in cartoon form
Review: Robin Williams steals the show without ever appearing onscreen. His genie is imbued with all his comic timing and energy just via voice. And who else could sing "You Ain't Never Had a Friend Like Me"? All that aside, Aladdin still has all the makings of a top-notch film for both kids and adults. The classic story of a pauper pretending to be rich to win the love of a princess who in turn loves who he REALLY is has never looked so good nor been so entertaining. And Princess Jasmine (who could have used more cartoon material for her outfit) is quite a match in both brains and strength (witness when she pole-vaults across a cliff. And the fact that she has a tiger for a pet!) The songs are great, and the story is about love, friendship family AND good vs. evil all at once. Can't beat what you get for the price!
