MPAA Rating: G
Director: Ron Clements, John Musker
Genres: Fantasy, Children's/Family
Rating:
Robin_Williams's dizzying and hilarious voicing of the Genie is the main attraction of Aladdin, the third in the series of modern Disney animated movies that began with 1989's The_Little_Mermaid and heralded a new age for the genre. After a sultan (Douglas_Seale) gives his daughter, Jasmine (Linda_Larkin), three days to find a husband, she escapes the palace and encounters the street-savvy urchin Aladdin (Scott_Weinger), who charms his way into her heart. While the sultan's Vizier, Jafar (Jonathan_Freeman), weaves a spell so that he may marry Jasmine and become sultan himself, Aladdin discovers the Genie's lamp in a cave, rubs it, and sets the mystical entity free, leading the Genie to pledge his undying loyalty to the dazzled youth. Aladdin begins his quest to defeat Jafar and win the hand of the princess, with the Genie's help. Monsters, Disney's trademark talking animals, and a flying carpet all figure into the ensuing adventures, but Williams' Genie, who can change into anything or anybody, steals the show as he launches into one crazed monologue after another, impersonating figures from Ed_Sullivan to Elvis_Presley. Don Kaye, Rovi
