Absolutely marvelous animation film

Rating: 8/10 (1 September 2019)

"Aladdin" (1992) to me is one of Disney Motion Pictures' crowning achievements. First of all, the adapted screenplay is well written, and it has absolutely perfect pacing with interesting character introductions and arcs all around.
Furthermore, the film looks absolutely gorgeous, filled with vibrant and warm colour palettes, beautiful portrayals of middle eastern culture milieus, and a stunning level of detail from the city of Agrabah.
The cast is overall great in terms of voice acting (e.g. Jonathan Freeman's performance of Jafar), but the performance by Robin Williams stands out unparalleled as Genie. Williams' role absolutely dominates the experience as Genie, and his signature sense of impeccable humour is vividly sensed through his animated character. As a note, his Easter egg inclusion of Jack Nicholson hitting on a woman is pure improvisational magic.
Overall, an excellent animation film from Disney, and deservedly the biggest film of 1992. Within the Disney Motion Picture range of films before Pixar, I think it is only bested by 1994's "The Lion King".
