A great film that sums up the career of a great actor

Rating: 9/10 (18 March 2015)

Not only is Aladdin an incredible stand alone, motion picture, it is also (in my opinion) the greatest performance by an actor we lost too soon. Robin Williams.
Williams as the Genie, made the film, the fact that he improvised so much and left over 16 hours (more than a day) worth of recording just show how much he made the character his own and I love it when actors do that. This is one of the few films where I felt that a supporting character left a greater mark on the film, he was just so animated and probably the funniest Disney character of all time. The sentimental moments between Aladdin and Genie also got me tearing up, particularly at the end.
The other characters were awesome, I honestly believe that this is the Disney film where the two leads have the most chemistry. They just go together, and the fact they are oblivious to whom the other one is but still fall for each other just shows how well they go together. Also, Jafar!!! By far one of the greatest Disney villains of all time. He was funny, menacing and had a devious voice and the contrast between him and Iago A.K.A. The Gilbert Gottfried bird, just made all the more awesome.
The music was good, the three songs "Friend Like Prince Ali "," A whole new world and Me" are all classics, the rest of the songs were unfortunately forgettable.
Overall, Aladdin is great fun, emotional and came at a point when Disney was at its strongest (The Disney Renaissance) and, 22 years on, the Disney magic still holds today.
