Aladdin/1992/***1/2
Main Stars: Scott Weinger Robin Williams Linda Larkin
The start of "classic films" is exciting. I've done many reviews so far and doing even more is exciting. I've seen a lot of "classic films" for my age including a film which I didn't think was so classic, "Jason and the Argonauts" (1963). I know for the timeframe that special effects were not too good but I still laughed at how fake the effects (done by Ray Harryhausen) were. Especially when the main character Jason had to fight a dragon and the dragon was pathetic! It looked like clay attacking this horrible actor. Actually, all the acting was horrible in the movie. Great, I wandered off again. Back to the movie I was supposed to review; Aladdin is a great, hilarious, well-acted movie. The only thing wrong with it was that it was too short (at least to me it was). They could have easily made it longer with more comical, great scenes. Don't get me wrong, it was a great movie but I thought some extra scenes could have been added. You're probably thinking that I saw this just to make the review and never before; but actually, I have seen this movie many times before this review was typed. I won't tell you too much, but this movie is about a poor peasant boy (Scott Weinger) who discovers a lamp and the lamp beholds a Genie (Robin Williams) that grants three and only three wishes. Aladdin meets this beautiful princess named Jasmine (Linda Larkin) and wishes to become a prince and marry her. But someone named Jafar and his stupid annoying parrot (voice of Gilbert Godfreed) keeps delaying him. If you haven't seen this movie yet (I doubt it), you should see it now and laugh at the comical scenes and also cry at the songs ("A Whole New World"- by Alan Menken & Tim Rice) but I really didn't cry at the songs at all. Movie directed by John Musker and Ron Clements.
