Review of Aladdin (1992) by The-Lords A — 15 Jan 2012

Ah. Now here's an old favorite from the past. Here's Disney review # 44: Aladdin.

Plot: Aladdin is a street rat in the city of Agrabah who steals food with his monkey Abu. One day he comes across a girl named Jasmine and saves her from a man in the marketplace. They begin to discover that they have a lot in common, but then they are caught by the city guard where Jasmine turns out to be the princess of Agrabah. Aladdin is locked in the dungeon where he comes across an old man who helps him escape in exchange for Aladdin to go into the mysterious Cave of Wonders to find a lamp. He succeeds, but then Abu touches the forbidden treasure which causes the cave to collapse on them. But then he rubs the lamp and out comes a powerful Genie who is able to grant Aladdin three wishes.

I enjoy this film. The action is fun, the characters are memorable, and the music is catchy as heck.

Characters:

Aladdin: Aladdin is one of my favorite Disney heroes growing up. He's a bit of a romantic idiot when it comes to his case of lying but at least he does good in the end.

Jasmine: Well she is a very smart and someone not to be messed with, so that definitely make her one of the better Disney Princesses.

Genie: Do I even have to bother with him? We all know that Robin Williams did a wonderful job with Genie. He was just a fun character through and through.

Jafar: Jafar is oneof my favorite Disney villains, mostly because he is pretty cool as a sorcerer.

Abu, Rajah and the Cave of Wonders: Spectacular job to voice actor Frank Welker. Nuff said.

Music: Um, try awesome. When I saw this movie again a couple of nights ago, I couldn't help watching the scene with "One Jump Ahead", "Friend Like Me" and "Prince Ali". And "Whole New World" is pretty unforgettable too.

And that's my review for Aladdin. It's an excellent film and a fine collection among Disney's classics.
