One of my all time favorites.

Charming and brutal

Best movie ever!

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Aladdin is a movie that I think every kid has seen. Beautifully written, and visually stunning, Aladdin gives some of the best voice overs in cinema history. This is near a damn perfect movie and it's one of my favorite Disney films ever. 8/10

This is the fourth animated classic Disney film I watched this month. I am currently tackling the Aladdin trilogy. And maybe even the Lion King trilogy if I am not too burnt out on classic Disney animation by then. Anyway, this is one of the mega hits from the 90s, the silver age of Disney animation.. if you ignore the 60's-80's filler films the studio pumped out. Anyway, the late Robin Williams steals the show and really puts this film over the top with his performance as the big blue lovable clown. Good stuff.

I like this movie a lot, because it does something for a Disney animated classic, which still holds up: The comedy! Well, I have listed the great stuff in the headline, but let me just for a moment say about the comedic aspect of this movie. Casting Robin Williams as the Genie was brilliant. In many of the other classics fro Disney I have grown a little out of the comic sidekicks, but not the Genie! Moving on to the other stuff. Jafar is also a great villain with just the right amount of slimy arrogance to his voice and also a devilish sidekick of Gilbert Gottfried! Brilliant! The only issue I have is the Arabian and setting and Aladdin's dialog. He is a likable character, but once in a while his cool guy attitude is a little distracting, but it does not ruin the movie. You know the songs, they are just memorable and catchy. No more, no less. The visuals are also pretty amazing. Watch it, you won't be disappointed.

This film has always had a very special place in my heart since I was a kid, and still does today. With great animation at the time, great story, great voice acting, great character development and chemistry, great music, great premise, this film is easily one of the best films made by Disney. The main characters were well written and had great character buildups. The villains, Jafar and Iago both had such good chemistry, that even if they were on the screen, I always enjoyed their humorous presences. Every one did absolutely fantastic with their voice acting, especially Robin Williams when he did the Genie, whom also may be my favorite character in the film. Not only did everyone sound believable, but they sounded great when they sang. I think Disney and everyone else involved with this film has outdone themselves with this film and I recommend it to everyone who hasn't seen it yet, as this film is not only charming, but it's also funny, poignant, and pretty much everything you would want in a Disney film. I truly believe this film is an absolute masterpiece in the works of Disney and I couldn't be happier with it.
