My All-Time Favorite!
This is the best movie ever! When a poor beggar boy from the streets named Aladdin rubs a lamp and a Genie who grants him 3 wishes pops out,Al's 1st wish is to be a prince so he can impress the lovely princess Jasmine,but will the evil and I mean,EVIL Jafar marry her instead,my favorite part is the magic carpet ride,oh,and the moral of the story is,you are who you are because of what's on the inside,not the outside,and Al's 3rd wish is the Genie's freedom.
Not one of Disney's best...
I'm sorry, but Disney's Aladdin can hardly make it into the list of Disney animated classics. It feels as if it were made for Robin Williams to put on a show rather than to tell the classic Arabian Nights tale of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp. The movie has fantastic animation but the charecters are uninteresting and boring, you will find yourself not being able to feel for them. The story is twisted dramatically from the original book which was something I didn't like, Disney should have focused more on telling the story than on coming up with ridiculous song sequences which is what this movie seems to be made of, remove the songs and you probably have a 30 minute short.
"Aladdin" doesn't have that old Disney touch of magic and beauty which earlier films like Bambi, Cinderella or The Rescuers had. This film is considered one of Disney's "big four" a most ridiculous remark, are they saying that this film is greater than Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Pinocchio? I don't think so.
The plot? Simple. A street boy falls in love with Princess Jasmine and fights for her love with the help of Abu, his pet monkey, Carpet (A magic carpet) and the Genie, voiced by Robin Williams, a crazy and "groovy" genie who takes about 60% of the film. Too much "comedy" and not-needed songs make this film soul-less and one of Disney's least interesting cartoons.
The DVD is pretty grand for fans of Aladdin, I own it only for the reason of adding yet another Disney "classic" to my collection. Simply, this film is no more of a classic than such releases as Atlantis - The Lost Empire or Home on the Range.
3/5.
Disney's Aladdin
One of disney's best Animated movies is Aladdin. Robin Willams ads alot of humor for adults witch makes this a perfect family film.The Soundtrack is also one of the best at disney.It includes the song 'A whole new world'. On the bonus disk there are minigames deleated scenes and the making of special. Although some of the bonus material is not adequet you get your bang for your buck.
