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

The usual disney fare:
Aladdin is the usual Disney fare. Not a bad movie for sure, but not one I could watch over and over again.
Rewatching a Classic:
I had forgotten how nice it was to watch a movie with a youngster. In watching this DVD over the week-end with my grandson and watching his pleasure I remembered watching the VHS Tape with his mother years ago. Movies like this will never go out of style.
New Classic Disney Era:
The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Lion King, and Beauty and the Beast were all part of the Disney revival. Right before Pixar and the huge advances in computer animation these Disney movies have a look, character, and beauty that is hard to beat. Aladdin follows the classic fairy tale for the most part and like the other 3 movies mentioned above the music and score are also incredible. Voice talent was well matched and the humor from Robin Williams and Gilbery Gottfried gave a spark to the movie.
LOVED IT!!!:
Love it. It was just the thing to make me feel like a kid again and my sisters love it. It was in perfect condition. Thank you.
