Aladdin

Pros: animation, story, Robin Williams as Genie, songs
Cons: some scenes might spark nightmares

On a rainy summer afternoon, it’s sometimes hard to find something to do. When it seems we’ve watched the same films over and over, I can sometimes pull a DVD from the collection which we haven’t viewed in some time and sit back and enjoy it ...

Pros: Williams as Genie. Fun, entertaining movie with great songs. Wonderful extras on the DVD.
Cons: Nothing.

When I was growing up, really the only animated movies that came out were from Disney. In the early 1990's, Disney made a series of musical animated movies, like B eauty and the Beast and The Lion King, that ...

Pros: Funny, romantic story told with beautiful animation
Cons: A tad slow in the beginning, could become dated fast

In the early 1990's, Disney animation was on a roll with several hits in a row. In the middle of that success came Aladdin. This is a funny, fun film that the entire family will enjoy. Aladdin (voiced by Scott Weinger) is a street rat. Or ...

Pros: Perhaps Robin Williams' best ever acting performance (I'm not kidding here!)
Cons: Nothing really

Pros: great story, Robin Williams is funny as usual
Cons: none

I remember watching Aladdin for the first time at an ex boyfriends house in 1993. I love this movie, Robin Williams is great as the voice of the genie, but all his movies are always great, take Jack and What Dreams May Come for...

Pros: Songs, voice-overs, vision.
Cons: None.

There was once a time when animated films were good. Audiences flocked to see them, the end result being that both parent and child walked out of the feature-length cartoon with a smile on their face. So many years later, it just isn't the same. ...

Pros: Brilliant performace by Robin Williams, great performances from many of the other 'cast'. A true family film.
Cons: May be a little too scary in parts for very young children. Use your own discretion.

Yes, Aladdin is supposed to be a children's movie, but there's enough depth to the storyline, and enough clever jokes inserted to keep adults entertained as well. If you're a fan of Robin Williams, or just looking for a (mostly) light hearted laugh-fest,...

Pros: The picture, songs, the voice-overs, the settings
Cons: None at all

This is a student review. I have to write it for a school assignment. Please review and rate my review. In the 1992 movie, Aladdin, there are many great things. There are awesome characters, great picture graphics, and many more. This ...

Pros: Robin Williams, fantastic songs, musical score, convincing characters, humorous script, moral lessons
Cons: predictable at times, seems a bit short

Remember the good old days of Walt Disney animation? When favorite childhood fairy tales could magically be brought to life on the silver screen year after year? Well, times have certainly changed and not for the better. The last great effort from the ...

Pros: Magic, clever, entertaining, awesome music, lovable characters
Cons: None

Release Date: 25 November 1992 Aladdin is my all-time favorite Disney movie. I can quote every single line from its script. I love it. I used to always watch it as a kid. I had all of the little toys, and would play with them while I was watching the ...

Pros: -Wonderful sense of Adventure -Great humor -Awesome DVD extras -The songs are actually good!
Cons: -The sequels this movie spawned

I remember I was at one of my best friends (at the time) birthday parties when his mom told us all to sit down and that we'd be watching a movie called 'Aladdin.' I actually hadn't heard of the film up to this point, granted I was really young at the ...

Pros: the Princess stands up for her rights, some beautiful music, Robin Williams
Cons: inferior animation, Robin Williams overdoes the routine, much of the story really Ali Baba

If Disney ever does a full-length feature film of “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves”, they will have to steal much of the story from this movie. When they made Aladdin, they threw most of the story of Ali Baba into the mix. If you have ...

Pros: Robin Williams, songs, comedy, entire cast
Cons: Slight character development problem

"Aladdin" (voiced by Scott Weinger) is a homeless person living on the streets of the Arabian city of "Agrabah". He must steal food to survive, and is frowned upon by the shopkeepers. However, he has a heart of gold and will give anything he stole to any ...

Pros: Weinger, Williams, Freeman; Glenn Keane; Eric Goldberg; Menken’s score……
Cons: -

There are certain things which linger on in memory no matter what- I first saw Aladdin in prep school, and that kiss on the balcony really did it for me. Well, Disney animated features have always been magic, be it Snow White or ...

Pros: Excellent animation. Great story and songs. Robin Williams' was fantastic.
Cons: Jafar may be a little scary for younger children.

Disney's 'Aladdin' remains, to this day, my favorite of their full-length animated feature films. For several reasons, it deserved to be the smash hit that it was and then some. As much as the actors voicing the characters, the Disney Co. animation team...

Pros: Absolutely everything!
Cons: Absolutely nothing!

I have seen many, MANY films in my life, and not ONE has beat out Aladdin. This, to me, is what great filmmaking is all about. Everyone points to Beauty and the Beast and the grossly overrated Lion King as the best Disney features of the modern era....

Pros: nice animation, and characters
Cons: not many

Hello, my next couple reviews here will be that of Disney movies. For some reason I decided to take some out and watch them out with my 8-year-old brother, so since their fresh in memory I will review some of them. Sure they are kiddy movies, but who...

Pros: A great story, Robin Williams is hysterical as a genie-good choice, Disney!
Cons: Thinking, thinking...nope, can't find any.

I may be 16, and I've seen tons of movies in my lifetime, but let's face it, you can't beat a Disney movie, no matter how old you are. There's just something about these movies that endears to everyone of all ages. Sort of a "one movie fits all" thing. I...

Pros: One of the funniest Disney movies ever
Cons: Some of it is cheap, indulgent humor

At the time it came out, I considered Aladdin to be my favorite Disney movie. That judgment has faded with time, of course, but I think I know why I liked it so much at the age of 14. It was the first Disney movie I saw in the theaters that I was...

Pros: great animation, good songs
Cons: none

Disney’s Aladdin came out in 1992, and it’s considered one of the best Disney films of the 90’s next to the Lion King. There is good reason to it’s got a lot of action and comedy that will thrill kids and adults to. It also some of the finest songs in...

Pros: The tunes are catchy and the characters are fun.
Cons: Jafar!

I have to admit, "Aladdin" is one of the best animated movies I have seen. If any movie I would compare it to it would be, "Cinderella."

Characters:

The main character is Aladdin. Referred to as a street rat, he...

Pros: entertaining, humorous
Cons: none

I have to tell a little story about this wonderful movie, Aladdin. This is the very first movie that my now seven year old son saw in a movie theatre. He was about one year old when we took him to see it. He was in such a trance when he watched this...

Pros: Everything about the movie
Cons: You must be kidding!

Click for the full in-depth review! When you think of Disney classics this is one that must be up near the top. This was one of my favorite movies to watch with my younger brothers and sisters growing up. Now it just may be one of the better movies I ...

Pros: Wonderful animation and colors
Cons: ??

Want to go on a magic carpet ride? Hop on and keep all hands, arms, and legs on the carpet at all times!
Robin Williams is hysterical as the Genie in the Disney classic cartoon.
Aladdin is a street peasant who must steal from the street vendors...

Pros: A fun, funny film for the whole family.
Cons: Not on par with its immediate predecessor in the Disney animated line, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.

In 1989, Walt Disney Pictures introduced moviegoers to a mermaid who lived "under the sea." In 1991, a Beauty and a Beast touched the hearts of millions in "the most beautiful love story ever told." Now, Disney offers...

Pros: Robin Williams is brilliant
Cons: Poor female role model

If ever an actor should have won an Academy Award for doing the voice of an animated character, Robin Williams as the Genie in Aladdin would be my vote. I'm a big fan of his anyway... but this was just brilliant. His two musical medleys are just...

Pros: quality movie, comedy, wholesomeness
Cons: None

That's exactly what it was...and Disney couldn't have picked a better actor to portray this part.

Robin Williams works best when he can do what he wants and improvise at any time he wants. This is what the folks at Disney allowed him to do...

Pros: Great Family Film, full of Romance and Adventure sure to entertain all.
Cons: NONE

As you wander thru the stores looking for a enjoyable family film, to add to your collection this Holiday season, why not take the time to think about adding one of the best romantic comedies sure to entertain all. There is nothing more finer than...

Pros: The movie concept
Cons: NA

In 1992 when this movie originally came out at the theaters I thought that it was going to be just another cartoon movie for kids, so I took my niece to see it figuring she would enjoy it more than I would. I was wrong... I think I was into this movie...

Pros: Good family movie
Cons: Older kids do not enjoy

This is the perfect choice to get together with the family and some laughs and adventure. Disney's Aladdin is a great remake of the old legend of the magic lamp. The genie, a big blue guy, is hilarious. Though this movie may not appeal to older kids, it...

Pros: Great animation, Disney Classic, great music
Cons: none

Aladdin is a classic Disney movie that will be treasured for years. It is filled with tons of great characters and music for any child to love. The movie starts out with Jafar, the sultan, who is planning to get this magic lamp. When he does get ...

Pros: Robin Williams, the song A Whole New World
Cons: Hard to think of any

It is hard to think of anyone who isn't familiar with at least the basic elements of the plot of ALADDIN. A street rat with a monkey sidekick named Abu, Aladdin has to steal food from the local bazaar in order to feed himself. The upside - if one can...

Pros: Excellent in every way, especially for Robin Williams's voices.
Cons: After 90 minutes it stops.

ALADDIN ranks as one of the truly great classic movies, an honor it can share with Citizen Kane, and with some other Disney hits. The film premiered in November 1992 and has been such a total success that it spawned sequels and a TV series and a...

Pros: Lots of adventure,Strong characters,Good for the whole family.
Cons: I have not seen any.

I bought this movie because I love buying movies and I love all of the Disney movies. So every Disney movie that comes out my children and I have to have it. now down to the business at hand.

I really do like the Aladdin series from Disney....

Pros: outstanding music, animation, storyline and fun for kids of all ages
Cons: It's an animated feature and may not get the hardcore live action viewers.

The overall quality of Disney animated features is uncompromised. They have a good machine working and have found their niche’. Even with older animated features, this holds true. Aladdin is no exception. Of all the animated features to come ...

Pros: Genie, Iago, Jafar
Cons: It exists

Reservations about Disney aside, this stinks.
Really.
I’m glad they changed the lyrics from ‘Where they cut off your ear if they don’t like your face’ to something blander, but they still go for the stereotypes.
...

Pros: Funny, great animation, terrific music.
Cons: None.

Aladdin is one of Disney's best animated full-length films. The characters are vibrant, the animation is superior and the story, although well-known, is given new life. It is the basic story of the poor boy who falls in love with the rich princess,...

Pros: Good animation, thoughtful and enjoyable characters.
Cons: The same "tall and evil" villain scenario.

I have always enjoyed Disney's Aladdin. Perhaps it is because most of the characters seemed to be well thought out by the animators of the film. Out of most of the modern era Disney movies, I enjoy Aladdin the most because although it does contain that...

Pros: The songs, the plot, the characters
Cons: Jafar's a major party pooper and I didn't like his character one bit

=Genre= Animation =Plot= When Aladdin, a lowly peasant who lives in the streets with his pet monkey Abu, runs into the Princess Jasmine of Agrabah (who ran away from home to escape the pressures of being rich and having to be forced to get married) ...

Pros: Robin Williams brings life to the movie
Cons: it has to end

Robin Williams just makes this animated adventure one of the best Disney movies I have seen.William's plays the voice of the Genie of the lamp.
The story begins of a boy Aladdin who is a street rat and wishes to be something more . It shows how he...

Pros: LOVE ROBIN WILLIAMS! teaches a good lesson about no telling the truth
Cons: NONE

Aladdin is a film that will keep you wondering sometimes. It also teaches you a very important lesson about not telling the truth about things when you should. It is a cute and funny film. Kids every age will love this movie I know my two year old...

Pros: Great cast of voices, very funny good music
Cons: none that I can think of

This is one funny Disney video. Getting Robin Williams to play the genie was a coup for Disney. He's the best. You swear that he's inside this blue giant. The only problem with watching him is that you laugh so much that you end up missing jokes that...

Pros: Great Animation and Sound, Robin Williams is Hilarious
Cons: OK, so it's a cartoon... :)

I think I like this movie as much as my kids do! :) I know it sounds cheesy and all the guys at the local bar would kick my butt for saying something like that, but I really liked Aladdin...

WHY? You have the magic of Robin Williams,...

Pros: An excelent animation movie for all
Cons: none

Have you ever wished you owned a flying carpet and could go all over the world and have great adventures? Well I have. With a little imagination, children of ages can imagin themselves doing just that with the help of this wonderful Disney movie. I...

Pros: funny, family oriented
Cons: superfluous in the wording sometimes

Jaffar seeks a lamp that would make him the Saltan of Abbraya but in order to get this lamp someone who is a "diamond in the rough" must enter and retrieve it. Finding Aladdin to be that diamond in the rough he seizes him and tricks him into getting the ...

Pros: fantastic in all ways
Cons: none

I want to start by saying this is a wonderful video for the whole family. Only Disney could create such a great film. The genie who's voice is done by the comedy great Robin Williams has you laughing like crazy within minutes of his first appearance.
...

Pros: The songs and animation were great!
Cons: none

Even though I usually do not like animated movies (cartoons), this cartoon really caught my eyes! It was lovely and magical that even at my age, I loved it:)The animation was incredible, the story: magical, and the songs were lovely. And my favorite song...

Pros: Great for kids and good for adults too
Cons: May date as many references are topical

This is a very enjoyable cartoon movie. My children, their cousins and friends (3-12 years old) have watched this dozens and dozens of times without getting in the least bit tired of it and without me getting tired of it.

The story is a little...

Pros: Great Musical Numbers
Cons: None

I believe that this is one of the better disney films. It has a great story line and even better musical numbers. They are the types of songs that get stuck in your head. Not just for hours, but for days. Majority of the characters are the kinds that you...

Pros: Great Disney movie, fun filled
Cons: None

I bought this movie not too long after it came out on VHS and I still love watching it to this day. My husband and I and since we've had our son who is now a little over 4 months old have watched it together a couple of times, and he seems to like the...

Pros: it is a master piece
Cons: If you have no Magic in your soul,it's not for you.

I saw this film because it is a Disney,and i have a childish trust in the company that i will enjoy all the films they make.This film is one of the best in recent times.
We follow a poor homeless boy through the cold streets of a city called...

Pros: full of laughter
Cons: too much fun

When I heard Robin Williams doing a cartoon as the genie . I said to myself this has to be good... Give Robin something too do and he does it well . I have seen most of Robins films and he just seems too get better with age . This movie has every thing...

Pros: Entertaining Movie
Cons: Not as great as past disney efforts.

Normally I wouldn't bother with children intended movies but this movie has a story behind it. It is a story about friendship, it all begins many years ago when I was many years younger ironic really. I was asked to go see Aladdin with a somewhat friend...

Pros: Great Family Entertainment
Cons: Some age inappropriate humor

As my children are growing older, I don't see the Disney movies that I used to, but I can remember vividly the night our family saw Aladdin. It was one of the rare nights that I could get my husband to see a Disney movie with my son, then 2 years old...

Pros: Funny fun action Robin Williams and Gilbert Godfrey are great
Cons: none

This is one of the most entertaining cartoons I have ever seen. I liked Robin Williams before this movie, but his role as the genie was the act that put him on the map for me. His in your face attitude is one of the best acts I have ever seen. He...

Pros: The Genie!
Cons: How come the carpet gets to save Aladdin every time?

Aladdin is one of your classic Disney movies,but in Classic I mean a movie the whole family would enjoy. Robin Williams who plays the Genie just dominates the show.For the first 15 minutes he appears on screen he goes on and on in a long , but...

Pros: Great movie,
Cons: songs get stuck in your head!

This movie is absolutely adorable for the age group 3-8. I have found with my 10 neices and nephews and children that I babysit, that an audience any older than eight usually loses interest early.
The movie is very upbeat with charming characters...

Pros: great music, and great plot
Cons: none!

This is a great family film, for children, and adults of any age.
The Aladin film has a lot of great characters, the songs are just wonderful. I can not wait till my daughter is older so that i can sit down and watch this video with her and other...

Pros: Robin Williams, songs
Cons: none

Robin Williams has managed to bring his charm and energy to the cartoon world in Aladdin. This is such a cute, family movie. Everyone in the family can enjoy this movie. This is not one of those movies that parents will put in the VCR for their kids...

Pros: Good way to teach kids to be who they are
Cons: none

many years ago, it is still one of my family's favorite. My five year old daugther can not get enough of it. I also enjoy sitting down and watching it with her. The characters are funny and some are evil at the same time. It has a certain story to it...

Pros: Robin Williams as the genie
Cons: The sequels are awful

I usually don't bother watching animated feature films, but my brother got it for Christmas and my family and I all ended up watching it. I enjoyed this film immensely. The characters were original and entertaining. The movie wasn't too long and moved...

Pros: great characters and music
Cons: --

The MischievIous Genius here with the skinny:

Disney’s Aladdin is a really fun flick to watch or to purchase for the kids. It features great animation and cartoon voices by personalities such as Robin Williams (the Genie). Perhaps the biggest...

Pros: It's Disney, and Robin willams voice
Cons: NONe

Does it get any better than this? This movie is great for everyone, even if you don't have kids! I have 5 children myself, and I think I enjoy the movie 10x more than them.
The songs in this movie are great, and very catchy. The voice acting...

Pros: Great movie
Cons: None

The one thing I love about Disney movies (not that I watch a ton of them) is that if you haven't seen one in a year or two, and then you watch it again, it's so fresh that it's like seeing it for the first time. Aladdin continues in the long trend of...

Pros: Meets the quality most would expect of Disney.
Cons: I see no cons.

I purchased Aladdin because it was a Disney production, another Disney movie for my collection, and a good selection for my daughter.

I love the fact that Robin Williams was a key character in the movie. Disney always has lively characters,...

Pros: Robin Williams, beautiful animation, wonderful music and songs, for the entire family
Cons: nothing!

ALADDIN is the magical tale of a soft hearted, world wise street orphan, a beautiful, confident princess, and the genie who gets them together. Through good times and bad, these three stand together to defeat the evil sorcerer plotting to take over the...

Pros: Great for the whole family
Cons: None

This is the twelveth movie in my quest to rate all the movies I have seen. Go to my profile and read them all.

With Aladdin, Disney took their animated feature films in a new direction. With the previous year's Beauty and the Beast, Disney had...

Pros: Fun, strong female character, beautiful animation, wonderful acting, good score.
Cons: Does have a few moments that could be scary for younger viewers.

There is just so much good in Aladdin.

For starters, the animation is great -- the scenes in the market place are filled to the brim with wonderful things to look at. Robin Williams gives spice to the Genie like no one else could, and...

Pros: Funny, fast paced and full of surprises.
Cons: May overwhelm the under- four set.

This is a really great movie. If you are talked into renting by your kids, you should definitely sit down and join them when they watch it. For this movie, Aladdin's adventures has been expanded to include a love story - with a very sensible princess -...

Pros: a timeless classic
Cons: none

I think that sometimes I am having more fun watching some of the Disney movies than my daughter is! This is one of my favorites to get for her to watch because I don't mind sitting through the whole thing over and over again with her. We are both very...

Pros: Plot, Characters, Music, Comedy
Cons: It's a cartoon so adults won't be appealed as much obviously

This is the all-time Disney movie; I don't care what anyone says. It beats out "Lion King" and "Beauty and the Beast" and all those other popular movies from Disney studios. I happen to be older now then the times Alladin was my...

Pros: Funny, Action Packed
Cons: One scene that probably it could do without but nothing to get all uptight about.

Don't get me wrong but Robin Williams (The Genie) makes this movie. What's that you say? "He isn't in it!" Well this is true, but his voice is, and that makes it all the better. The way Robin Williams uses his comedy is great because it just...

Pros: good Disney's animation
Cons: none

Aladdin is a great film for kids aged about 2 up. I think it's very good entertainment for younger children with their families, and as a Disney film it is incredibly good! Basically Aladdin, followed by his sidekick monkey Abu, lives in the streets of...

Pros: Disney classic
Cons: n/a

Aladdiin is a very zany and whimsical movie about a young boy that finds a magic lamp. After rubbing the magic lamp 3 times, a magical genie pops out of it, and offers the lad 3 wishes. The wacky adventures they go on are greatly written and...

Pros: Even the adults will love it.
Cons: none

My children and I loved this movie. Genie is so funny, Carpet is cute, Miargo is hysterical, and I love Aboo. I could go on and on about this spectacular adventure. The romance part was really cute without being so mushy. Aladdin couldn't ask for a...

Pros: William's voice talents and "A Whole New World."
Cons: Some boring scenes and small character development

Aladdin is a entertaining boost of energy for kids and adults. It adds a little bit more to the story and one of the most memorable scenes in the movie is the magic carpet ride where the two main characters sing, "It's a Whole New World." The scene is magical and rather well. The film has funny moments with Robin Williams's terrific voice talent behind the genie. At times, the film would lose its energy all of a sudden and be a drag. The romance is sweet and likable and makes an overall mediocore Disney film. Not the greatest, but quite acceptable.
