Robin Williams' performance saves Aladdin

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 1998)

Robin Williams does a fantastic job as the voice of the Genie in Aladdin. My one problem with Aladdin is how insulting it is to the viewer in the way it plays on stereotypes, something Disney has been getting away with too long. I find it rather strange that the only Arabian characters with Arabian accents were the villains, while the good guys all have American accents. For the most part Aladdin is a very enjoyable movie, due in large part to Williams. Most of the songs are very good and fun to listen to. The animation is beautiful as always.
