Summary: Another Disney's best from the 90's
Review: Now this, is something that Robin Williams has done much of in his carrer, really two things, 1 Singing, 2 Doing a voice in an animated movie. But this is true good to be true. As Aladdin opens, a vizier named Jafar (Jonathan Freeman) has finnaly found the Cave of Wonders, which I guess, he spend about half of his life, searching for it. But the Cave of Wonders has strict rules, that only the diamond in the rough can go in there, and the other touch nothing but the lamp or never again see the light of day.

Summary: Lovely story line
Review: I actually liked this movie, on account that i am a horror movie freak. It was a good film about this street rat that fell in love with a princess and he tried to marry her but wasnt aloud and there was a mean guy that wanted to marry her. There was also a geni and he was funny and friendly, there was a onkey and a magic carpet, and this king.......

Summary: Another Disney delight!
Review: Disney's "Aladdin" isn't as spectacular as some of it's other films like "Beauty and the Beast," but it's proves itself to be worthy entertainment for adults and children alike. The dazzling animation and animal characters will provide hours of mockery and cheers from children, while the superb comical talent and witticism of Robin Williams will be a sheer delight to both sets. The movie tickles my fancy in new ways; I loved it. The story centers around a "street urchin" named Aladdin, who'd give anything to live within the walls of the Sultan's palace. One day in the marketplace, he meets a girl who turns out to be the princess, but he is soon arrested at the hands of Jafar, the Sultan's advisor who has a thirst for the throne. Jafar takes Aladdin far into the desert, to a place known as the Cave of Wonders, where he ventures inside to find a magic lamp containing a giant blue genie with a flare for comedy. Aladdin uses the lamp to make himself a prince, in hopes that he may win the heart of Princess Jasmine and finally live in the palace. But Jafar has different plans. Spurned by the princess and annoyed by the Sultan, he makes it his life's goal to retrieve the lamp and become master of the universe. While this movie doesn't have the grandeur and magnificence of Disney's spectacle pieces, it's clear that it doesn't need that look or feel to make it work. This movie is basically a Disney comedy, possessing a simple story for children while the dialogue will appeal more to adults as well. It's not a very serious film, which makes it even easier to enjoy the comedic lightheartedness it brings with it. That comedy rests on the shoulders of Robin Williams, who provides the voice of the Genie. Some of his best work is done in this film, and he brings some of the funniest one-liners and gags ever to a movie that works well with them. And since his character is one of animation and not reality, then the possibilities are endless. You'll laugh until you cry watching Williams in action, as he switches many different forms, voices and attitudes. Everything else for a typical Disney movie is right in place: there's the setting, the Arabian town of Agraba, overlooked by a palace complete with dome-topped towers and sparkling white walls, all with a certain Disney touch. There's the main protagonist, Aladdin, who hopes for a better life and then gets one. There's Princess Jasmine, the maiden whom everyone wishes for their own. And there's the villain, Jafar, complete with talking parrot Iago, who provides comic relief in the midst of his master's evil doings. I wasn't expecting much from "Aladdin," which is why I liked it so much. Perhaps people expected a bit too much out of it, being a follow-up to "Beauty and the Beast," but in order to enjoy it, you just have to sit back and relax and let it roll over you. The comedy is the best thing about it, and Robin Williams succeeds beautifully at bringing a warm and funny nature to the picture. "Aladdin" is laugh-out-loud funny! I loved this movie!

Summary: Great Disney Film
Review: This is probobly one of the best Disney films out. It takes you into the world of Agraba, city of mysteries. You get to live the life of a young begger boy who soon becomes a hero. The Genie even adds more comedy and entertainment to the story line. Robbin Williams definitly shows the Genie at his best. A must have for any Disney loving family.

Summary: Fantastic - The First Disney Film I really enjoyed !!!
Review: I had heard that this was the first Disney movie that would appeal to adults too. I realised this when I saw it for the first time ... the humour is several notches above what we expect from Disney. This is a breezy and magically animated adaptation of the popular Arabian Nights fable which every kid has heard time and again. Disney's take on this often told tale is simply marvelous. The animation, the background score and the vibrant colours are spellbinding. But the best part about the movie ... the voices !!! Brilliant voice over by Robin Williams for the genie. Only he could pull this off. Also the voices for Jafar and the parrot Iago are fantastic. The music in this film is enchanting and complements the movie well ... buy the soundtrack Album as it is one of the best Disney scores I've ever heard. I have seen this movie more than a hundred times in the last few years and still haven't got tired of it. My only regret... If only this were available on DVD as I've worn out the tape in certain parts because of repeated viewing. This is a must-see Disney movie and definitely one for your Home Video collection as it appeals to all ages and can be watched as many times as possible without being bored.

Summary: One of the best Disney films!
Review: This is one of my personal favorites in Disney animations! Like the other works of the time, Aladdin is a splendid, Disney version of a well-known children's story, modified and retold to capture all audiences. The animation is beautiful and the songs (A Whole New World is the BEST Disney song!) are just GREAT! (I wish Jasmine had more singing parts - her voice was so pretty, but at least Lea Salonga got to sing for Mulan too! :) ) I liked this version of the story much better and I can't wait for Disney to redistribute this wonderful classic again! This copy is pretty worn - like all my other Disney movies. This is a must-see/must-have for all, even if you're not a Disney fan! Get a hold of a copy today!!

Summary: Love this movie, Hate the thief and cobbler!
Review: This movie is great 90's hype. Comical and quite quirky. My advice avoid "Return of Jafar" and "Aladdin and the King of Thieves". This movie was great. They just killed it with a TV series and Pointless sequels! Please Make a DVD of this movie my brothers destroyed the original packaging of this VHS edition!

Summary: It's a hit!
Review: One of Disney's better "late release" animation films, proving once again that the studio can still produce the magic. I'm basing this review from the VHS tape version (since the DVD is not released yet), however, I believe Disney Studios will probably continue to follow the path they've set with other DVD releases -- that is, look for a straight VHS to DVD transfer. You'll get the film, but little else. Naturally, the DVD will outlast a VHS tape and the quality of both the picture and sound should be higher. On the movie, it's a great rendition of the tales of 1,001 Arabian Nights (with Disney's own plot and characterizations) which will entertain members of the entire family. Robin Williams does an exceptionally fine job as the voice of the Genie -- giving him comic personality and wit. The story line is a good one and is followed by two 'add-on' sequels ('Return of Jafar' and 'King of Thieves'), both worth purchasing when they become available (Williams is missing from 'Return', but back for 'Thieves'). The film's music is top rate and in line with many of their earlier successful animations (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast). All in all, a worthwhile purchase for your home library. Children and adults will enjoy this one for decades to come. ~P~

Summary: Yep, a classic
Review: Aladdin was 1992's biggest moneymaker. Instead of fighting their own standards of a superior romance film like The Little Mermaid or Beauty and the Beast, the company tried to open to another category: a comedy. As everyone can see, the beginning in Aladdin is not as interseting as The Mermaid's or mysterious as Beauty's. In fact, there are few scenes in Aladdin such as the narration and other sequences which just don't follow the standards of animation set by 1989's The Little Mermaid or 1991's Beauty and the Beast. But the cave of wonders scenes and the rest of the movie usually ARE impressive and visual. The songs are good, good and quite memorable. They lack Under the Sea or Belle but still, they are good and Aladdin won even more prizes than Mermaid and Beauty. Aladdin is indeed one off Disney's all time favorites. The characters are indeed memoable and beloved. Jafar is a remarkable villain. Aladdin ends up being a true classic.
