The romance doesn't resonate as much as the exciting and hilarious adventure plot

Rating: 8/10 (21 February 2020)

The romance plot is a little off (Jasmine obviously liked him as a pauper, so why was he such a haughty prince-especially after she showed her distaste? Well, a magic carpet ride will solve everything), but the two are sympathetic at least (see Aladdin's fun opening song and Jasmine's "well maybe I don't want to be a princess!"). Elsewhere, the excellent villain, the hilarious Genie, and intriguing magical underpinnings help create a twisty, exciting adventure punctuated by great humour.
7.5/10
