Aladdin

Welcome to Agrabah! The magical vision of distant deserts, where thieves from the market, tigers, princesses, or grand vizier's intrigues were never the same. As is customary in Disney's golden classics, the atmosphere arrived after the first note of the opening song and slowly faded away only during the closing credits. And when the legendary Genie, full of immortal lines, gets tangled up in a story full of treasures, flying carpets, and magic, the enchantment is complete. And Aladdin is lucky enough that, thanks to its moderately exotic direction, there is no chance it would ever be surpassed in its subgenre. (08/06/2011)

Aladdinhas to be one of my most favorite Disney movies. Maybe even my very favorite. A great story full of number of jokes and unforgettable characters. (Carpet is the coolest dude of all :-). Great family entertainment. (09/11/2007)

The 31st Disney Feature Film A combination of the tales of the One Thousand and One Nights in Disney styling? Finally. As an idea, it's perfectly fine. The glorious Disney Renaissance era is defined primarily by Alan Menken's ear-pleasing music, and Aladdin came just in time for audiences to remember Hollywood's traditional love of the Orient. Think of the beautiful styling of The Thief of Baghdad with Douglas Fairbanks or Kismet with Marlene Dietrich. However, as with The Lion King, I have to say that as a child I only knew the related films, the series and the play, and today I perceive Aladdin as too much of a rehashed Disney film. And never-mind the live-action version. The original cartoon isn't perfect. The animation of the princess' palace and the entrance to the cave is outdated even nowadays, the classic formula "princess, hero, and cute animals against the villain" works, but I never thought the blue genie was a good idea. So many pop culture references from him could choke one to death. (08/12/2019)

I like Tex Avery's wacky animated slapstick, and Aladdin reminds me of it in many ways. It's as much a beautiful fairy tale as it is a one-hundred percent stripped-down comedy, and its greatest asset is the genievoiced by Robin Williams doing something incredible – no matter how good our dubbing is, in this case it's just never going to be half as good as the original. But I don't want to forget Alan Menken's perfect music and, strangely enough, the songs, which often leave me cold in Disney movies, but here they really did it 100%. (01/18/2020)

Aladdin captivates the viewer above all with its boundless imagination in the field of animation, a pleasant musical score and a brisk story. A large part of the film's appeal is without doubt the character of the Genie, whose various transformations and many allusions from different areas were endless, and who, along with the monkey Abu, was the main source of humour. Of the songs, I liked “A Whole New World” the best, and I'm glad the 2019 live-action remake wasn't a carbon copy, so the original gave me a few nice surprises. (09/09/2020)

Disney got me again. I didn't see "Aladdin" when it came out in theaters, or when there was some frenzy around it. It slipped away from me like many other movies, so I was quite curious to see how it would impress me. And it impressed me exactly as I expected. There are fantastic characters, fantastic songs, which I didn't expect, and a simple but simply nice story that still works. Well, Disney still entertains me. (09/23/2015)
