My all time favorite Disney animated film

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2019)

Spoiler Alerts: I saw this film three times in the theater, then bought the VHS tape, then the DVD, then the Blu Ray. Yes I am one of those people from the time before cell phones and computers. LOL. I have found this film to be magical on so many level. I always felt there was a tremendous message about being who you are and loving who you are no matter where you come from. I have always loved the music and song of the entire film which is very rare for me. I love that the film was humorous, touching, and highly entertaining. Princess Jasmine is not a typical Disney princess of the past "looking for a prince to rescue her" as her character has a voice and is strong and not dependent on a "man" to save her. Robin Williams is brilliant as the genie and wonderfully over the top. Aladdin is my all time favorite character who is representative of someone who wants love and happiness as we all do and he learns that "money" does not buy that. There is so much in this film about truth, honesty, and integrity. When he frees the genie as his last wish I cry every time.
