Amazon.co.uk Review
Disney's 1992 animated feature Aladdin 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

 a great old Disney animation June 25, 2008
In this Disney family animation, street thief Aladdin runs into the princess and falls in love with her, but she can only marry a prince.
It has been some years since we have seen a classic 2D animation as we enter a stage in film where everything is about visual effects rather than the narrative, and thankfully we have these wonderful films to look back on with a good solid plot, which is funny, strong and consistent throughout, and which is proper entertainment for the whole family.
With brilliant characters with their own issues on their shoulders does the film achieve depth and variety for viewers, such as Aladdin wishing for more, Jafar wishing for power and Jasmine wishing for love. And its through these goals does the film become inspirational and enjoyable, and the one character who breaks all the boundaries is the genie.
Robin Williams (Good Will Hunting) is the only person who could have made the genie what he is with a simply outrageous performance as the blue hero, with great magic, catchphrases and sing a longs. Easily the funniest character in Disney history in my personal opinion, the Genie has great charisma in helping others with his own personal life a sweet and soft moment for the film.
There have been numerous times when I have watched this film and not noticed something different and it somehow seems to get better with every watch.
Though does run on a few cliches there is no question that it does so in a very sophisticated and sentimental way which makes it feel more real and believable.
The situations used and the ideology of good vs evil make the plot intense and exciting throughout. The use of magic was a very powerful device and makes the story even more special and brilliant.
The film also has a terrific Oscar winning music score, which includes the outstanding song "A whole new world" which is possibly one of the best used songs in animation history.
With a magical tale, great characters and a beautiful music score, Aladdin is a fantastic family animation and one of Disney's best.
9/10
Brilliant! April 4, 2008
This undoubtedly is one of the best Disney films ever made. Great songs, hilarious characters, and a magical story that the whole family can enjoy. This film shows Aladdin, a street rat as he is referred to by the Palace guards, scrapping for every thing he can get, along with his pet monkey Abu.
Menawhile, Princess Jasmine is having suitor after suitor trying to marry her, all of which she hates. Her father, the Sultan, does not know what to do, so calls upon his royal visier, the evil Jafar, and his boystrous parrot Iago. Jafar plans to get a magic lamp from the cave of wonders, but he cannot enter, so he discovers that Aladdin can enter, and he plans for Aladdin to get the lamp, then Jafar will have three wishes from a Genie and become Sultan, marrying Princess Jasmine. Confused? Anyway, Princess Jasmine runs away and is saved by Aladdin on the streets of Agrabah. Jafar has Aladdin put in prison. Jafar then forces Aladdin to get the lamp, which he does, Jafar tries to kill Aladdin, but Abu foils him, and Aladdin and Abu fall into the cave of wonders... with the lamp. The Genie will grant Aladdin three wishes. Aladdin wants to go back to the Palace to try and win over Jasmine, Jasmine not knowing that Aladdin is the boy who saved her on the streets. Aladdin, Abu and a magic Carpet help Jasmine leave the Palace and fly around to a musical number. When Jasmine returns Jafar has already tricked the Sultan into making Jasmine marry Jafar. Aladdin eventually saves Jasmine and tells the Sultan how Jafar tried to have him killed. Jafar escpaes and plans for Iago to steal the lamp. Iago brings the lamp to Jafar, who corrputs Genie, and becomes a Genie himself. Aladdin saves everyone and traps Jafar in the lamp. Aladdin with his final wish sets Genie free, and the film ends.
A wonderful film, 5 stars, no question, some great songs! I would recommend.
 A shoddy reprsentation of arabia! November 15, 2007

I honestly ask you why do disney still think that kids will beleive anything. For one thing this movie is totally out of date, travel to this region of the world today and your more likely to find flying body parts than a flying carpet. on the plus side lady lamond seemed to enjoy it and why not this is quite a magical film for kids and alsohas quite a strong moral of poor can marry royalty.
Overall View: more entertaining than hamlet or hitler on a night out in jerusalem.
A GREAT DISNEY CLASSIC October 18, 2007
This was one of many Disney flicks that I watched as a kid in the '90s, but I watched it more than most of the others (if not all of them). From what I remember, I enjoyed every Disney animated feature I saw in those days to a certain extent (with the exception of "Pocahontas"), but for a while, I was pretty much obsessed (I don't know whether that's too strong a word or not) with "Aladdin"! Since rediscovering animated family films about a year ago, I have seen "Aladdin" again twice, and have found that it's still very enjoyable!
Aladdin is a street urchin in the city of Agrabah, who has to steal food in order to eat. His only friend is a monkey named Abu. However, his life is about to change. Jafar, the secretly evil grand vizier of the good Sultan, wants to get the lamp from the Cave of Wonders, so he can get the power he longs for! The vizier learns that the only one who can get this lamp from the cave is the "Diamond in the Rough," which he discovers is Aladdin! Meanwhile, Princess Jasmine, the Sultan's daughter, is tired of being pressured by her father to marry, so she runs away in disguise, and goes to the marketplace, where Aladdin sees her and quickly falls in love. These two factors are about to lead Aladdin on a life-changing adventure, where he has a lot to learn!
There are several things that make "Aladdin" memorable. One of these things is the amazing animation, probably some of the best I've ever seen! The movie also has a memorable bunch of songs, starting with "Arabian Nights" at the beginning, followed by the likes of "One Jump Ahead", "Friend Like Me", "Prince Ali", and the Oscar-winning "A Whole New World". We certainly can't forget the humour, starting during the opening scene, with the merchant who introduces the story, followed by so many other funny (sometimes hilarious) scenes, sometimes slapstick (like in the "One Jump Ahead" sequence). The Genie, voiced by comedian Robin Williams, is a huge part of the humour, acting like a maniac and doing many impressions! Iago, voiced by Gilbert Gottfried, another comedian, is also notable. Aside from all that, "Aladdin" is an excellent adventure overall! In brief, this is one memorable film for animation fans of all ages!
