Golden Days of Disney

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2005)

I was in 7th grade when this movie came out. I loved it but when I look back now, it is sad to know that this movie was the last flame of Classic Disney Era, which was contaminated by NEW AGE PIXAR CGI movies.
Aladdin (Spoilers******)
Directed by Ron Clements and John Musker tells a new cinematic experience of animation based on the old Arabian folk tale Aladdin and the Magic Lamp. They did a tremendous work with brilliant animators in binging Aladdin to Disney.
As like all other Disney movies it has a good story, good script and a great music. Scott Weinger did a tremendous vocal works for giving life to Aladdin. He himself lived in that character. Also Linda Larkin was marvelous as the voice of Jasmine. I liked Gilbert Gottfried's comic villain Iago.
But the man who steals the show is ROBIN WILLIAMS, I can't believe he was the man who did that dominant voice-over for Genie, a true genius!
And music, the soul of Aladdin was created by Alan Menken with the help of Dennis McCarthy. It was the music that gave Aladdin the magical life. With the memorable lyrics of Howard Ashman and Tim Rice summing with those catching tunes how can any one forget the title song, "A Whole New World" and "Prince Ali" with the top-notch vocal talents of Brad Kane, Lea Salonga, Regina Belle, Peabo Bryson.
But it was Robin Williams whose creativity in this project makes those works extraordinary. His comedy timing and musical talents really shined in every second. It was sad to know that he was paid low in return for his hardships.
For me it's a GREAT Movie in every means. A TRUE Cinematic Experience for a true Classic Disney fan like me!
" I give this movie 10 stars out of 10 thumbs up ! "
