Disney Could have given me better

Rating: 4/10 (29 March 2009)

I just recently watched Aladdin for the first time(I'm 15). For some reason, though we owned many Disney movies, Aladdin was never one of them and I was very excited to watch it. I was thoroughly disappointed. The animation was good, but Jasmine looked like an Arabian stripper. What message does this send to the young girls that watch it? Also, the Sultan exclaims many comments about Allah. So, they'll put in comments about Allah but they won't ever put in anything about God? Robin Williams has always freaked me out, so imagining him as the genie kind of ruined the character. They condoned stealing and sneakiness, but maybe it's just the way I view it. Also, I didn't like that they put in very modern stuff for a very early time. I mean, a Disney vacation for an ancient genie? It made the movie kind of cheesy. Overall, I think that, after masterpieces like Beauty and the Beast and the Lion King, Disney could have done justice to a wonderful setting like Arabia.
