Aladdin (A Walt Disney Classic)


Aladdin (A Walt Disney Classic)
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
Customer Review: Aladdin
Initial order apparently lost/misplaced. Replacement received in a reasonable time but not until after holidays.
Customer Review: Worst message to children
I am appalled by all the positive reviews. This movie sends the worst message to children. Please everyone, strip away the visuals and the catchy music and look carefully at the storyline. It is about a poor boy who has big dreams. But rather than trying to work his way up, he resorts to stealing. Apparently the only way one can succeed in life is by finding a magic Genie in a bottle. But worst of them all is the princess. She is a rich spoiled girl who is bored to death, complaining about her life while ignoring the street children eating out of trash cans outside her palace wall. There are never any indication that these two did anything to help anybody else but themselves. Shame on you, Disney!
