Visually, it's a treat, a perfect marriage of hi-tech graphics and the traditional Disney virtue of strong characterisation and colour.

Finally, she does run away, only to discover how hard life on the streets can be -- especially when a vendor accuses you of thievery. Aladdin comes to her rescue, and soon the two have fallen in love. But how can a beggar marry the sultan's daughter? His only hope lies in a magic lamp from the Cave of Wonders and a wisecracking genie who can grant wishes. But Jafar, the Sultan's evil advisor, desires that lamp himself, so he can rule the kingdom and possess Jasmine. Soon the handsome young boy and the cruel Jafar are locked in a battle of wits -- and unleashing magic the likes of which no one has seen before. [More]

Reviews for Aladdin
Grants all three wishes and some more besides with a brilliant turn from Williams' genie and some beautiful animation.
Though the lead characters are, as usual, bland, they're compensated for by a cheeky, entertaining supporting cast.
Williams really cuts loose, impersonating dozens of celebrities with his one-of-a-kind comic aplomb.
One of the more charming entries in the Disney canon. Williams is a riot as the genie.
There's a good chance you're going to enjoy Aladdin more than the children.
Upbeat animated musical version of the classical story from " The Arabian Nights."
Much of the humor comes courtesy of Williams, who deserves (but won't get) an Oscar nomination for his vocal versatility.
The fundamentals here go beyond first-rate: animation both gorgeous and thoughtful, several wonderful songs and a wealth of funny minor figures on the sidelines, practicing foolproof Disney tricks.
