Storyline

Taglines: 1: Wish granted! (DVD re-release)

3: A diamond in the Rough.

Plot Summary: Aladdin is a street-urchin who lives in a large and busy town long ago with his faithful monkey friend Abu. When Princess Jasmine gets tired of being forced to remain in the palace that overlooks the city, she sneaks out to the marketplace, where she accidentally meets Aladdin. Under the orders of the evil Jafar (the sultan's advisor), Aladdin is thrown in jail and becomes caught up in Jafar's plot to rule the land with the aid of a mysterious lamp. Legend has it that only a person who is a "diamond in the rough" can retrieve the lamp from the Cave of Wonders. Aladdin might fight that description, but that's not enough to marry the princess, who must (by law) marry a prince.

Aladdin movie review

posted on 7 April 2008

Disney’s version of Aladdin and his magic lamp is one of its best animated features — or features, period — with terrific songs and gorgeous colors, thrilling action sequences and big laughs. It doesn’t have the classical emotional weight of Beauty and the Beast, which came out a year earlier, but it’s one of the only Disney films to break out of that nebulous “family” genre and function as a genuine comedy/adventure.

What everyone remembers, comedically speaking, is Genie, a blue whirling dervish of impressions and wisecracks as vocalized by Robin Williams in 100 percent inspiration, negligible perspiration mode. But Aladdin also features what may be the only tolerable role for Gilbert Gottfried, period: Iago, the cranky parrot sidekick of evil villain Jafar. Even Aladdin and Jasmine, while essentially bland, have likeably cynical streaks (Jasmine is disgusted by the parade of handsome princes sent to woo her, as if she’s just finished watching a Disney movie marathon). These characters would have significant goodwill flogged away by a TV series and the pair of direct-to-video follow-ups that bookend it, but on its own, Aladdin is a rollicking good time. And although the contribution of Williams is immeasurable, the Disney team rises to the occasion with some terrific, fast-paced gagwork and visual mastery.

Computer animation has long since outpaced the likes of this film’s stunning (in 1992) Cave of Wonders, and even the intricately detailed patterns on the startlingly lifelike flying carpet. But often forgotten as critics drool over the latest all-CGI feature is that animation is, foremost, about movement—not necessarily realism. When Aladdin and his pet monkey Abu zip through a cave of flowing lava on that carpet, we’re no longer witnessing cutting-edge technology; it’s now just a beautifully animated, gripping action sequence. The Genie’s shape-shifting impersonations of celebrities are broadly drawn, like Hirschfeld caricatures — and they look great. Like Raiders of the Lost Ark, the film’s style and energy will outlast more technically advanced imitators.

It’s possible that Aladdin, like Raiders, Star Wars, and other wildly entertaining and popular movies, has inadvertently done some damage to the genre it transcends. So many American features now visibly strive for that perfect blend of, well, everything: The noble but scrappy hero, the animal sidekicks, the (often forced) pop culture references “for the parents,” the breezy tone.

Disney formulas were in place long before Aladdin, but this was the film that showed just how much money could be made by a cartoon that appeals to everyone. It was outdone financially by The Lion King a few years later, but Aladdin is the film most later Disney movies tend to resemble, especially Hercules, Tarzan, Atlantis, and, most successfully, The Emperor’s New Groove.

Disney’s output in the past decade-plus has hardly been the black hole some seem to describe. (Have any of the detractors actually watched, say, Cinderella lately? Not a pretty sight.) But you sometimes get the feeling that Disney executives have been herding a lot of talented animators, writers, and directors into Aladdin’s shadow.
