Very Cool!!!

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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.

This is a great movie that I saw yesterday. Here's what I thought about what:Story: Great and well-built. Superior action and romance. But speaking of romance, Aladdin and Jasmine fall in rather fast. They interact in public, then share some alone time. In that alone time, they seriously have minutes with each other and then are about to kiss. The movie that came before this was Beauty and the Beast, where Belle and the Beast know each other for several days to weeks (based on Maurice's journeying from and to the castle). So, are we going back to Snow White, where Snow White and the prince also fell in love in minutes? The action, such as Jafar turning into a snake, was superior, but one more thing--this is a great story and movie, but it doesn't have much Disney magic. The ending and the carpet ride are definitely magical and give me a good feeling of Disney magic, but the rest of the movie just doesn't. Humor: Fabulous! One thing I love about this is that though this clearly takes place hundreds and hundreds of years ago is that there's some modern things in it, such as flashing lights. The opening scene is brilliant.Characters: They're all incredibly unique and likable. I love how creative and smart Aladdin is and that he fights by wits, not muscles. Jasmine is a very headstrong, yet kind and likable, character. Of course, the Genie is one of the best sidekicks ever! He has such a great personality and is a friend you'd just want to know. And about Jafar...well, he is now one of my favorite Disney villains. Though he is giving his evil laugh and shouting near the end, I like how calm he can be, and that he is one of the few villains that has patience. The Sultan, however, was another typical Disney dad that has white hair, is short, and is silly. Iago can make you laugh, but he's also very annoying. Songs and singing: "A Whole New World" is one of the best Disney songs ever. Lea Salogna and Brad Kane have wonderful voices. The other songs, though..."Prince Ali" reminded me of "Be Our Guest," so it didn't seem that original. "One Jump Ahead" has a purpose of being in the movie, but I somehow think it was pulled off the wrong way. Jafar's "Prince Ali" reprise is great, and so is the Genie's song, but the latter is a bit too fast. I couldn't understand what Robin Williams was saying for half of it.Art and animation: Jasmine and her tiger Rajah seemed to be spot-on, as well as the Genie and Sultan, but there was something about Aladdin, especially his face shape, that I didn't get. Something looked wrong, and Jafar's face shape was way too thin. Though Disney animated movies are cartoons, they still have people in them, and we need to be able to see the cartoons as people. Snow White, the Evil Queen, and the Prince were 2D but had realistic eyes and face shapes and looked almost real. Here, things are a bit exaggerated. The backgrounds were excellent.So, in the end, this is a great hand-drawn movie with an excellent plot and lovable characters...along with a super quick romance, little Disney magic, and not many appealing songs. The movie truly is excellent, but for me, it's just not the sort I watch one day and have to the next.

Overall: This movie is one of the best Disney movies and contains one of the greatest comedic performances every put to screen.Good:1. Robin Williams is genius in this movie and is one of the greatest comedic performances in any movie ever.2. The movie is hysterically funny, mainly because of the Genie.3. Abu, the Magic Carpet and the Sultan are side characters who are interesting and funny.4. Jaffar is a pretty decent villain even if he turns to some clichés5. The animation is great with a nice upbeat colour palette6. Solid voice acting7. Great music.Bad:1. Aladdin and Jasmine are boring and run of the mill Disney characters. They have no funny lines.2. Jaffar becomes a more clichéd villain towards the end and loses all credibility3. Robin Williams is by far the greatest part of this movie. Without him this movie would easily be a 3 or 4 /10. He makes the movie and it only stands on two feet because of him.8/10

This film tells the story of Aladdin, a vagabond who will use the Genie powers to win the heart of Jasmine, the daughter of the Sultan. Directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, who also ensure the script, it has voice actors as Scott Weinger, Robin Williams and Linda Larkin. With a soundtrack written by Alan Menken, it won two Oscars, for Best Original Song and Best Original Score.This film, visibly inspired by "Arabian Nights" and the Islamic ambiance, is one of the best Disney movies before they started opting for computerization. The script is excellent and is based on the classic impossible love of rich girl with the poor guy. Romantic and original, this film was, for many children, the first contact with a love story. It conveys an important moral maxim: love can overcome all barriers and bring people together.The characters are deeply interesting: Aladdin is the typical vagabond of humble origin, who knows survive on the streets but has a good heart. Jasmine is a stubborn princess, full of personality. Jafar, the villain, is the Sultan's minister and only thinks of taking power by the easiest possible way. Genie, the genie of the lamp, is a magical character who can do almost anything. Destined to spend eternity serving those who find him, only grants three wishes and is the largest comic element of the film.The work of designers is excellent, at the level of the best that Disney has ever done. Colorful, with soft but realistic lines, its visually appealing and pleasant. The voice actors did a great job but Robin Williams, who voiced the Genie, deserves a special positive highlight. The soundtrack fulfills her role with great brilliance and stands out over almost the entire film, with musical moments of great quality. One, perhaps the most famous, is "Arabian Nights", which comes early in the film. But the most acclaimed by the critic is the song "A Whole New World", sung by Aladdin and Jasmine, hoping to discover together the world around them.
