Disney's - Aladdin (DVD)

Firstly: BE AWARE THAT THIS DVD WILL NOT PLAY ON A EUROPEAN DVD PLAYER UNLESS IT IS MULTI-REGION!Right, I just wanted to get that off my chest in case someone somewhere MISSED the fact that it says at the top of this page and on the original link AND on the description that it is an AMERICAN DVD. People just don't read properly... anyway.I am biased, I will start off by saying that - I love Disney - but it is no lie when I say that this is one of the best Disney movies quite probably ever. And the main reason it is so darn good is because of Robin Williams. He is hilarous as the big-hearted, blue, and quite clearly bonkers Genie - his spark and humour keep the film rattling along nicely. I read somewhere that he had everyone crying with laughter at his impersonations, of which there are too many to mention in the film (I spotted a brief impersonation of Jack Nicholson in there somewhere, I swear!), and that the editors had 16 hours worth of recordings to play around with, meaning they created the Genie after the recordings as opposed to before as is the usual way of things.Obviously, you get everything that you expect from a traditional Disney movie as well - a fiesty princess, a delightfully evil villain who will have the kids cowering behind a cushion, a bumblingly lovable father, and a gorgeous, smart, upright young man as the hero. As usual, there is the lovely eye for detail, ridiculously catchy songs ("Prince Ali" by Robin Williams is a definite highlight, as is, of course, "A Whole New World"), and a good story, even if it does bear little resemblance to the story from 1001 Nights.The extras with te DVD merely serve to add to the enjoyment - we get a womderful insight into the background of the story and how they came up with Genie and so on. The most interesting part is about Aladdin's mother (but I won't spoil it for you). There is also an extra song - not with proper animation, only pictureboards - which is great, shame it wasn't added into the movie!All in all, this is without a doubt one of my favourite Disney movies, and it deserves to be ranked alongside the likes of Cinderella and The Lion King as one of the greats (in my ever so 'umble opinion).

This film should be in everyone’s collection. There is something in their movie for the whole family and it absolutely stands the test of time. I have purchased the 4K version in the Amazon sale for around £5 and I consider that to be an absolute bargain. With a great story line, superb casting and a magical soundtrack, this is a classic.Highly Recommended- Buy with Confidence.I do not receive any payment or free goods for writing these reviews. I am just happy to share my views on my purchases with fellow like minded Amazonians, in the hope that you may find it helpful.

This is a fun film .

Good purchase and excellent customer service! Thanks

It’s a classic.i has to watch it to remember details before the 2019 remake

Aladdin is an entirely different spin on the fairy tale genre mainly focusing on the hero rather than the heroine perspective.Genie(Robin Williams)steals the film as Disneys' most fabulous and hilarious creation ever!!!a very remarkable film that matches the likes of The Lion king, The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty and Beauty & The Beast.it is visually stunning and is full of pop culture references throughout.and to top it all off...it was released on the year i was born.Aladdin is a masterpiece!

It's Aladdin! Struggling to find anything to say here. One of what I call, the 90s classics. Fun songs, great story line and it has great little extras.I must say that the picture quality on these blu-rays are really excellent. There re lots of little extras such as alternative plot lines, sing along etc. The main thing for me is just the movie itself. This was one that I had to add to my collection. Ahh...the memories......

trip down memory lane. Watched this when my daughter was little over 13 years ago but lost the DVD. Great film, good value.
