I'm losin' to a rug!

In most cases, "Aladdin" would just be another Disney cartoon. But Robin Williams as the Genie gives it everything that it needs! Whether it's his monologue when Aladdin first releases him, his Jack Nicholson imitation, or anything else, you're in for something hilarious. Approximately as funny as the Genie are Aladdin's pet monkey Abu, and villain Jafar's parrot Iago. Abu basically exists to spout out a bunch of "ack" sounds that only Aladdin can understand, while Iago basically exists to make sarcastic remarks and get injured. With these three, who needs Aladdin's relationship with Jasmine?! Even the Sultan provides a chuckle now and then.
