Hilarious!

Rating: 8/10 (4 December 2005)

Although not as good as its animated predecessor Beauty and the Beast, this is a really well done and extremely funny film. It follows the story of Aladdin, a street urchin, who finds the Genie in the Bottle who grants him three wishes, which has to do with meeting the Royal Princess Jasmine. What really makes it great is the laugh-out funny performance of Robin Williams as the Genie. He continually pulls all the punches and makes the strong script and dialogue even more so funny. On top of that, there are the great songs and score by Alan Menken (who also did the wonderful score and songs for Beauty and the Beast) and top-notch animation that makes this Disney outing worthwhile to watch on any day of the week. A strong 8 out of 10.
