Rating:  Summary: It's Like Humour & Romance Mixed In 1!! Review: "Aladdin" has been an all-time favourite too millions of people around the world! The film was released into theaters in 1992 and came to video in 1993! This movie is a really great and colorful movie to add too any Disney collector's collection! Like "The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin" is a musical which includes humour and romance as well (Most Disney Classics are like that too!) The story takes place in the poor town of Agrabah, where "street rat" Aladdin (Scott Weinger) and his Monkey Abu live. They are poor and must steal food to survive on the streets. Aladdin falls in love with the Sultan's daughter Jasmine (Linda Larkin) and the two eventually become friends. By royal orders, It is time for Jasmine to get married (and it must be too a prince ONLY!) She does not want to rush and wants to wait for her true love too come.Jafar (Jonathan Freeman) is the Sultan's "trustworthy" Vizier who wants to rule the world and gain the power of being a Sultan However, he needs the "magic lamp" too do this, so he gets Aladdin to get the lamp for him in the "Cave of Wonders". Aladdin finds the lamp and meets the famous and humourus "Genie of the Lamp" (Robin Williams) The Genie changes Aladdin to a prince so he can gain the love of Princess Jasmine. Jasmine and Aladdin fall in love together, but when Jafar's sidekick parrott Iago (Gilbert Gottfried) gets ahold of the lamp and Jafar rules Agrabah, it is going to take Aladdin's courage and bravery (With the help of the Genie) to defeat Jafar and save Agrabah! Back in 1992, The film became the highest-grossing animated film earning over $200 million internationally (!) The film also won Academy Awards for Best Song ("A Whole New World") and Best Original Score. That's how popular the film became! In fact, the film and characters were so popular that it came out with 2 sequels: "Return of Jafar" in 1994 and "The King Of Theives" in 1996. There was also a TV series named "Aladdin" which aired from 1993-1995. Who can forget the famous quote "Jafar! Jafar! He's Our Man, If He Can't Do It.....GREAT! This film is definetly a film that will entertain the entire family! Hopefully, it will be re-released onto video soon so the people who never had the chance to get a copy of the film are able to get one! 90 Minutes.
Rating:  Summary: Great movie that ranks along with 'Beauty and the Beast' Review: "Aladdin" is another delightful Disney classic, with a simple plot, which is easier to follow on than 'Beauty and the Beast.' A "street rat" homeless young man, Aladdin, is targeted for opening a magical cave by a sinister adviser, Jafar. Inside the cave lies piles of treasure. But the most precious item in the cave that Jafar wants-a magic lamp with a genie (voiced by the scene-stealing Robin Williams). A movie that ranks along with 'Beauty and the Beast' with its delightful animation, genuine suspense, wonderful score by Alan Menken and Tim Rice, hilarious one-liners by Gilbert Gottifried (Jafar's wise-cracking pet parrot) and the Genie, sweet romantic songs, and a plot that will please adults as well as the kiddies. A movie that doesn't exactly exceed the original plot that the wonderful 'Beauty and the Beast' had, "Aladdin" succeeds by wit and charm, and is in a way, great.
Rating:  Summary: "Price Abooboo..." "Ababwa." "Whatever." Review: "Aladdin" is one of Disney's more underappreciated movies. I'm still puzzled as to why "Beauty and the Beast" has soared to popularity but "Aladdin" has not. B&B does have somewhat more lucid and appealing animation yet its forgettable songs, complete absense of a plot, worst of all, its so-called villain, little more than a rejected stud, put that movie to shame. "Aladdin" is a much more mature work thanks to both Genie's (voiced by Robin Williams) non-stop spoofs and pranks and Disney's most delectable pair of bad guys: the elegant Grand Vizier Jafar (Jonothan Freeman) and his big-mouthed, comfort-loving parrot sidesick Iago (Gilbert Gottfried). Aladdin himself is a bit bland, but who could notice in this whirl of golden-tinted animation and mystery, not to mention singing? "Friend Like Me" and "Prince Ali" have both proved to be hit songs over the years. It is only fitting that the movie itself receive its share of fame.

Rating:  Summary: Another great Disney classic Review: "Aladdin" is about Aladdin, a street dweller who has dreams that one day he will find peace and not have to live the life he's living being a thief. He finds Jasmine and falls in love at once, but there's one problem. Jasmine is a princess and only a prince can marry her. Jasmine is plagued by the law that says she has to marry a prince and she wants to see the world. She's tired of being stuck inside the castle all the time. Aladdin has to find a way to get to Jasmine, but all he has is his mischievous monkey friend Abu and, oh yeah, the Genie. There's also a mean sorcerer, Jafar, who might give Aladdin even a greater challenge. "Aladdin" is a great movie in every way. It tells a great story of how being yourself is sometimes the best thing to do. The Genie gives the movie a lot of playful humor. All the characters are interesting and the movie has some great effects and graphics. Also, the songs are perfect for the movie, especially "A Whole New World." The movie ranges from humorous such as with the Genie's antics, to exciting such as the carpet ride through a place that is self-destructing. If you like Disney movies or if you know somebody in your family that does, I recommend getting "Aladdin."

Rating:  Summary: Absolutely Stunning! Review: (Sorry if it seems boring at first, but don't worry, I get to the point.) I remember the first time I saw this movie. It was sitting on our video shelf upstairs, and, despite having this movie for years, I had never watched it. My sister was babysitting me(she had moved out of the house) and it was a special time for both of us. We wanted to watch a movie, and she brought "Aladdin" downstairs. I informed her that I had never seen this movie, before, and that I wasn't sure that I would like it. My sister told me that this was a good movie, so I agreed. Boy, am I glad that I did! From the first scene(with the merchant displaying his products), I knew I would enjoy "Aladdin". To this day it is one of my favorite movies of all time(and I'm a teenager!). Why do I like it so much? Three reasons: 1) The plot. Even as a kid, I loved the romance, laughed at the jokes(excluding some of the many references by Genie, of course), and experienced the emotions of the scenes as the crew intended. 2) The voices. The characters just seem so real! From The Sultan- a joyful, peppy, and funny little fellow- to Jafar- who doesn't seem as real as the others, but, I admit, the way he is presented in this movie is kind of hard to work with. I absolutely LOVE the voices! They are so good at portraying the characters! 3) The soundtrack. I am completely in love with the soundtrack(I have the original CD and the Spanish version of it. Can you tell I'm obsessed?). Kudos to Lea Salonga and Brad Kane. "A Whole New World" is by far the best Disney vocal song EVER when it comes to romance(in my humble opinion). If you have never seen this movie before, please do. You're really missing out.
Rating:  Summary: Funny subliminal messages such as "Good teenagers take off.. Review: ...YOUR CLOTHES!" That's right, this film has one of the most blatantly perverted lines in Walt Disney history. It's the type of thing that would make Bear-Bear, Bear rabbit, and Pinochio blush from embarassment. You might have heard rumors and whispers about Dinsey film makers doing this in the past and thought, "there's no way that's true." Well, my good friends, it's very true. Very, very true. With skepticism being one of my natural traits, I investigated this film, as I did after hearing rumors of the same type of thing in films like the Lion King and The Little Murmaid. Well, in Aladin, it's so blatantly obvious that the viewer can't help but laugh. It's the balcony scene, right as the princess comes out from her room and walks past the curtains. You can hear a voice, although quiet and somewhat hushed, say, "Good teenagers take off your clothes." Don't believe me? Listen to it yourself and make sure to listen carefully. Unlike the "ghost" that is supposedly in Three Men and a Baby and the midget "hanging himself" in The Wizard of Oz, Aladin provides us with solid, undeniable evidence that some Disney cartoon editors have a little too much fun with their jobs. If you own this film, you'll find that the previously mentioned part provides a great entertainment piece for dinner parties. Enjoy!
Rating:  Summary: The Best Disney title ever!! Review: After Beauty and The Beast's success i thought that disney could never top that. However Alladin blew me away. I have it on VHS also with Alladin 2: Return Of Jafar and Alladin 3: The King Of Theives. Excellent trilogy... a must buy.
Rating:  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!
