Simply fantastic!

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 2009)

Aladdin should be considered amongst Disney's most complete films. The idea of having a movie set in Middle East territories was excellent mainly because Disney knows how to print it's unique style on different cultures around the world.
Aladdin starts powerful with the super "Arabian Nights" song, and since then, it gets your attention but most important, sets the mood for the movie. More than half of the movie's atmosphere deals with Robin Williams's marvelous comedic performance. I mean, how could an actor deliver an extremely funny performance as an animated character? Only a talented actor can do that.
The Genie character steals the show as the most charming character, sure; but without such an effective villain like Jaffar, a likable hero like Aladdin, and a very charming and sexy heroine like Jasmine, this movie wouldn't work completely.
Apart from the spectacular and beautiful settings, the movie relies it's success on supporting characters (very likable), a magic and fantastic plot, and best of all, tremendously catchy and quality songs.
The ending will leave you breathless mainly because of it's intensity (loved the Jaffar cobra and master wizard of evil!) and positive message. As it should happen, good triumphs over evil.
This is one of Disney's best and just paves the way for the brilliant and masterpiece "The Lion King".
