Disney's 1992 animated feature Aladdin is a triumph of wit and skill. The high-tech artwork and graphics look great, the characters are strong, the familiar story is nicely augmented with an interesting villain (Jafar, voiced by Jonathan Freeman), and there's an incredible hook atop the whole thing: Robin Williams's frantically hilarious vocal performance as Aladdin's genie. Even if one isn't particularly moved by the love story between the title character (Scott Weinger) and his girlfriend Jasmine (Linda Larkin), you can easily get lost in Williams's improvisational energy and the equally entertaining performances of Freeman and Gilbert Gottfried (as Jafar's parrot). --Tom Keogh

One of Disney's funniest and likeable films with pop-culture references. The voice talent is exceptional - the most noteworthy and memorable being the quick-changing Genie as voiced Robin Williams, who gave this film plenty of funny pop-culture references and importantly an emotional depth as well as the laughs. Abu's chimp noises and some words also made me giggle, Aladdin's boyish charm and cockiness and Jasmine's independent thinking and strong character voices fit perfectly and Jafar has the traditional Disney menace coupled with the abrasive sidekick parrot Iago.more info
a great old Disney animation In this Disney family animation, street thief Aladdin runs into the princess and falls in love with her, but she can only marry a prince.

Brilliant! This undoubtedly is one of the best Disney films ever made. Great songs, hilarious characters, and a magical story that the whole family can enjoy. This film shows Aladdin, a street rat as he is referred to by the Palace guards, scrapping for every thing he can get, along with his pet monkey Abu.
Menawhile, Princess Jasmine is having suitor after suitor trying to marry her, all of which she hates. Her father, the Sultan, does not know what to do, so calls upon his royal visier, the evil Jafar, and... more info
A shoddy reprsentation of arabia! I honestly ask you why do disney still think that kids will beleive anything. For one thing this movie is totally out of date, travel to this region of the world today and your more likely to find flying body parts than a flying carpet. on the plus side lady lamond seemed to enjoy it and why not this is quite a magical film for kids and alsohas quite a strong moral of poor can marry royalty.
Overall View: more entertaining than hamlet or hitler on a night out in jerusalem.
