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]

Jonathan Rosenbaum

The results are fun and fast moving, but far from sublime.

Richard Corliss

It juggles a '90s impudence with the old Disney swank and heart.

Grants all three wishes and some more besides with a brilliant turn from Williams' genie and some beautiful animation.

Variety Staff

Floridly beautiful, shamelessly derivative and infused with an irreverent, sophisticated comic flair thanks to Robin Williams' vocal calisthenics...

Visually, it's a treat, a perfect marriage of hi-tech graphics and the traditional Disney virtue of strong characterisation and colour.

Filme irreverente e com bons trabalhos vocais de Williams e Gottfried, embora pouco ambicioso dos pontos de vista narrativo e técnico.

Matt Brunson

The humor quotient is high, thanks to such scene-stealers as the duplicitous parrot Iago, the mischievous monkey Abu and, of course, Robin Williams' motormouth Genie.

Its ethnic "white" noise is really just an excuse for Robin Williams to put on the most elaborate, narcissistic circus act in the history of cinema.

John J. Puccio

Williams makes 1992's Aladdin appealing for adults as well as for children and establishes the musical-adventure as a Disney classic.

Charming and decent Disney, wisely buoyed up by Williams and his frenetic self.

One of the more charming entries in the Disney canon. Williams is a riot as the genie.
