Customer Reviews of Aladdin (Disney Special Platinum Edition Collector's Gift Set)

A movie that ranks along with 'Beauty and the Beast' with its delightful animation, genuine suspense, wonderful score by Alan Menken and Tim Rice, hilarious one-liners by Gilbert Gottifried (Jafar's wise-cracking pet parrot) and the Genie, sweet romantic songs, and a plot that will please adults as well as the kiddies.

A movie that doesn't exactly exceed the original plot that the wonderful 'Beauty and the Beast' had, "Aladdin" succeeds by wit and charm, and is in a way, great.

It's Like Humour & Romance Mixed In 1!!
"Aladdin" has been an all-time favourite too millions of people around the world! The film was released into theaters in 1992 and came to video in 1993! This movie is a really great and colorful movie to add too any Disney collector's collection! Like "The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin" is a musical which includes humour and romance as well (Most Disney Classics are like that too!) The story takes place in the poor town of Agrabah, where "street rat" Aladdin (Scott Weinger) and his Monkey Abu live. They are poor and must steal food to survive on the streets. Aladdin falls in love with the Sultan's daughter Jasmine (Linda Larkin) and the two eventually become friends. By royal orders, It is time for Jasmine to get married (and it must be too a prince ONLY!) She does not want to rush and wants to wait for her true love too come.

Jafar (Jonathan Freeman) is the Sultan's "trustworthy" Vizier who wants to rule the world and gain the power of being a Sultan However, he needs the "magic lamp" too do this, so he gets Aladdin to get the lamp for him in the "Cave of Wonders". Aladdin finds the lamp and meets the famous and humourus "Genie of the Lamp" (Robin Williams) The Genie changes Aladdin to a prince so he can gain the love of Princess Jasmine. Jasmine and Aladdin fall in love together, but when Jafar's sidekick parrott Iago (Gilbert Gottfried) gets ahold of the lamp and Jafar rules Agrabah, it is going to take Aladdin's courage and bravery (With the help of the Genie) to defeat Jafar and save Agrabah!

Back in 1992, The film became the highest-grossing animated film earning over $200 million internationally (!) The film also won Academy Awards for Best Song ("A Whole New World") and Best Original Score. That's how popular the film became! In fact, the film and characters were so popular that it came out with 2 sequels: "Return of Jafar" in 1994 and "The King Of Theives" in 1996. There was also a TV series named "Aladdin" which aired from 1993-1995. Who can forget the famous quote "Jafar! Jafar! He's Our Man, If He Can't Do It.....GREAT! This film is definetly a film that will entertain the entire family! Hopefully, it will be re-released onto video soon so the people who never had the chance to get a copy of the film are able to get one! 90 Minutes.

almost essential
There are a select few of the films made by Disney that can almost be considered essential Kid fare. My personal faves are : Robin Hood, Lion King, and the great Aladdin. This is one of Disney's all time greatest moments ever. This is truly one of the best. Adults will find it amazing, kids will love it! An awesome and incredible tale of magic, wishes, coming of age, love, and temptation by absolute power. Wonderful, simply wonderful. Also was one of the first animated movies to really make use of a seamless blend of computer graphics and traditional animation styles. Perfect.
