Editorial Review:

Disney's 1992 animated feature 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

• Very good Disney film, a little disappointed with bonus features
  I bought Aladdin being a big fan of the Disney films and I was very pleased with the movie itself; Robin Williams is hilarious as the Genie, the story is good if not a bit too eccentric, the songs are wonderful and picture and sound quality are perfect.

• Disney at it's best!
  This film has to be one of if not THE best Disney film there is. The story is great, the voices perfect, the songs brilliant! My favourite song from Aladdin is probably Friend Like Me but that's because I love Genie.

  Loved this film when I was little and chuffed now that my... more info

• Disney Genius
  This was already a great film! Originally released in 1992, it is the portrayal of Ali Baba and Arabian Nights all rolled into one. Songs and wonderful, voice casting is perfect and Genie (voiced by Robin Williams is hillarious).
  This is the new edition containing bonus features and commentaries etc as standard which just make this a fabulous DVD to own.
