Average Rating:7.9/10

Consensus: A highly entertaining entry in Disney's "second golden age," Aladdin is beautifully drawn, with near-classic songs and a cast of scene-stealing characters.

Runtime: 90 mins

Genre: Childrens

Synopsis: Poor Aladdin looks longingly at the Sultan's luxurious castle, and dreams of living inside, but Princess Jasmine wants only to escape that pampered life. Finally, she does run away, only to... Poor Aladdin looks longingly at the Sultan's luxurious castle, and dreams of living inside, but Princess Jasmine wants only to escape that pampered life. 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]

Williams really cuts loose, impersonating dozens of celebrities with his one-of-a-kind comic aplomb.

There's a good chance you're going to enjoy Aladdin more than the children.

Much of the humor comes courtesy of Williams, who deserves (but won't get) an Oscar nomination for his vocal versatility.

The jokes appeal to all levels of humor but the merriment is so constant that no tastes feel slighted.

A magic carpet ride, a flight aboard a supersonic little Persian steered by all the wishes that ever were.

Robin Williams and animation were born for one another, and in Aladdin they finally meet.
