	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Aladdin (1992 film)
		Aladdin is a 1992 animated feature produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation, and released by Walt Disney Pictures on November 25, 1992.
		Aladdin was followed by two direct-to-video sequels: The Return of Jafar (1994) and Aladdin and the King of Thieves (1996), and an animated television series, Aladdin, set between the two sequels.
		Jafar, meanwhile, uses the Sultan's ring to discover that Aladdin is the one needed to enter the cave, and has him jailed; he then tells Jasmine that Aladdin, whom she had met in the streets and developed a rapport with, has been executed.

	Jafar (Aladdin) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jafar is a fictional character, voiced by Jonathan Freeman in the Disney film Aladdin and its sequel, The Return of Jafar.
		He was even the central villain of the direct-to-video film Mickey's House of Villains.
		Note that the tale Aladdin (which was not part of the original Arabian Nights) features a vizier (unnamed) who is jealous of Aladdin but not a real villain, and an evil African magician.

	Filmtracks: Aladdin (Alan Menken)
		Aladdin: (Alan Menken) Flying on its own magic carpet ride in the early 1990's, the collaboration between Disney and Alan Menken soared from The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast to Aladdin in 1992 without even the slightest hiccup.
		A television cartoon spin-off of the film failed miserably with its musical adaptations, and the original soundtrack album representing the story fell badly out of print until a moderately remastered reprint was issued with a different cover in 2001.
		A separate karaoke-only album of Aladdin songs is a cheap rip-off for people hoping to hear the orchestral backing of the songs without the dialogue (also hinted at on the DVD menus), but Disney obviously decided not to pay the original musicians any further royalties and substituted the orchestra with corny synthetic variants.

	DVD Review - Aladdin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Released on November 11, 1992 "Aladdin" became Disney’s most successful animated feature and top grossing film at the box office up until "The Lion King" was released 2 years later.
		For the new sound mix, Porter took the original film’s three 5.1 channel mixes and processed and rebalanced them, creating a more plausible sound mix that suits the acoustic environment of a home theater as opposed to a theatrical mix.
		Sound effects, especially in the scene where Aladdin is trying to escape becoming a permanent resident in the cave are loud without sounding distorted or compressed.

		The two men in the crowd that Aladdin pushes through are caricatures of a couple of the directors (John Musker and Ron Clements); the original plan was to use film critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, but they couldn't get permission.
		Aladdin: She thinks the monkey is the sultan.
		Aladdin is sympathetic form the beginning and most secondary characters are simply perfect.

	TV ACRES: Genies > Dan Castelleneta as Aladdin's Genie (Disney's Aladdin)
		Aladdin rubs the lamp and summons Genie to appear.
		After granting the traditional three wishes to the holder of the lamp, Aladdin befriends Genie and they have many adventures together which included battling creatures, thieves and evil sorcerers and of, course their nemesis Jafar who coveted the power of Genie's lamp for evil purposes.
		The series, which ran 86 episodes, is based on the feature length Disney animated film Aladdin (1992) - with Robin Williams as the voice of Aladdin, - and its sequels The Return of Jafar (1993) and the direct-to-video Aladdin and the King of Thieves (1996).

	Disney Films -- Aladdin (Disney Lies)
		Jafar is convinced that Aladdin will fulfill the prophecy that speaks of great treasures on the island being revealed to a boy who is a "diamond in the rough" (Jafar is convinced that Aladdin is such a boy because he first saw him on a golf course).
		Aladdin and Jeannie move to Florahdah, an oasis in the Middle East.
		Aladdin's songs also proved quite popular, including the tearful ballad sung by Jeannie to Aladdin when he's trying to convince him that they belong together because neither of them has any real friends ("You'll never have a friend, like me.") The film's soundtrack, Aladdin Sane by David Bowie, went platinum only days after its release.

		Aladdin may be a diamond in the rough, but "Aladdin" is a gem of the highest karat.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Aladdin (1992)
		With Aladdin, Disney took their animated feature films in a new direction.
		Disney's Aladdin, however, is not a serious retelling of the famous Arabian Nights tale, but severely updated for the nineties, punched up with Robin Williams' comic personality let loose.
		Yet, at present at least, Aladdin is prime entertainment, with all the magical elements that make most Disney animated films work so well.

	ALADDIN (PLATINUM EDITION) - 2-DISC SPECIAL EDITION DVD
		It's a risk to emulate the period considered the birth of the studio's Dark Ages, and Aladdin is the least spurious movie of Disney's renaissance because of it.
		Aladdin receives three as opposed to an inexhaustible number of wishes from the genie (Robin Williams) he conjures by rubbing the magic lamp, and the genie, relating to his calling as imprisonment, yearns for a future master to wish him free.
		Aladdin's solution-cum-innovation is to make its genie a meta-Toon that doesn't need a falling safe to flatten itself into a pancake; like the Merlin-Arthur relationship in the undervalued The Sword in the Stone, Genie's omnipotence boosts Aladdin's self-esteem by throwing his own untapped power into relief.

		So, while the two Chicago film critics were flattered, they reluctantly had to turn down Ron and John's offer.
		Now that the film's protagonists were adults, Katzenberg insisted that Pocahontas and John Smith to have an adult romance.
		Redfeather was originally supposed to have provided much of the comic relief for "Pocahontas." Candy came into his recording sessions for the film and -- in addition to delivering his scripted lines like a pro -- improvised a lot of new, funny material for his character right on the spot.

	Animated Films
		It was also the first film to popularize the idea of a computer or network in which one could experience virtual reality, and the first film to use the term 'hack' (the root of 'hacker' or 'hacking'), and to refer to the cyberuniverse as the 'matrix'.
		Aladdin (1992), a film that moved beyond the traditional fairy tale, used computer-generated imagery, and was designed for a more adult audience - it marked a significant change in Disney's output.
		Another exceptional film (a coordinated effort released by Disney (Touchstone), produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin, live-action directed by Robert Zemeckis, and animated by Richard Williams) was the Oscar-winning Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), a remarkable blend of animated imagery and live-action human characters.

	Review: Aladdin
		Aladdin is both similar to and different from Disney's animated 1989 and 1991 releases.
		There, Aladdin finds an ornate bottle, and, after accidentally rubbing it a few times, comes face-to-face with a blue genie (Williams), who is ready and willing to grant him three wishes.
		What follows is a basic formula tale as Aladdin, with the help of his sidekicks -- a monkey named Abu and a flying carpet, seeks to win Jasmine's hand, defeat the evil Jafar and his vicious parrot, Iago (voiced with grating sarcasm by Gilbert Gottfried), and save Agrabah.

	Aladdin (1992)
		Encapsulated as the spiel of a canny market-trader, hoping to flog a battered old lamp, this is the tale of a diamond in the rough.
		Regrettably he informs her that Aladdin has been decapitated, whereas he's in the dungeon, waiting to be tricked by Jafar.
		Aladdin gets to play both the action-hero and man of romance, pulling off this balancing act in a mutually compatible manner.

		Aladdin tells the story of streetboy named Aladdin who lives in a large and busy town long ago with his faithful monkey friend Abu.
		Under the orders of the evil Jafar (the sultan\'s advisor), Aladdin is thrown in jail and becomes caught up in Jafar\'s plot to rule the land with the aid of a mysterious lamp.
		Aladdin might fight that description, but that\'s not enough to marry the princess, who must (by law) marry a prince.

	Mulan - The Film Guide - a Wikia wiki
		Loosely based on various versions of the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan (Fa Mulan), the film was the first of three produced primarily at the animation studio at Disney-MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida.
		The most notable voice cast member of the film was Eddie Murphy, who provided the voice for the dragon Mushu.
		The film may take place even later, as it prominently features landmarks such as the Forbidden City which was not constructed until the 15th Century.

	The Austin Chronicle Film Listings
		You've got stark elements here like Aladdin, the street urchin, who lives by his wits and a regimen of petty thievery and Jasmine, the princess, who is being forced to marry a man she does not love merely because he is a prince.
		His manic energy and hip humor are so exhilarating that the rest of the movie risks grinding to a halt whenever he's not onscreen.
		In a film that especially seems to have gone out of its way to behave responsibly when it comes to its Arab stereotyping, this type of barb is uncalled for.

	Aladdin trivia
		In the original theatrical release of Aladdin, the opening song, "Arabian Nights" was different.
		The first part of the theme of 'Prince Ali', the parade song, is (unintentionally, I'm sure) almost chord for chord and note for note the same as 'To Life' from "Fiddler on the Roof." Duplicated chord structures are extremely common, and similar themes certainly aren't rare, but this is an unusually blatant example.
		Following a dispute over his voicing rights for merchandise, Robin Williams decided not to return to voice the Genie in the film's sequel, "The Return of Jafar." The Genie was instead voiced by Dan Castellaneta.

	Aladdin: Special Edition (1992)
		Aladdin didn’t receive quite so many plaudits but it did well for itself in that department and also raked in the bucks at the box office.
		Aladdin rescues her and the pair immediately connects.
		The latter shows some elements of the removed subplot that involved Aladdin’s mother and also comes from a version in which our hero had unlimited wishes; it corresponds loosely to the sequence in which Aladdin reneges on his promise to free the Genie.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: Aladdin
		Possibly the most overrated cartoon in the studio's entire canon, Aladdin explores what happens when a street urchin simultaneously falls in love with a princess and incurs the wrath of the evil sorcerer trying to destroy her father's kingdom.
		Though the film's milieu is ostensibly an Arab enchanted city, there's nothing Middle Eastern about these characters beyond the sand (who knew loveable tigers were popular outside of India!).
		Disney knows how to sell lies, but Aladdin is ultimately less offensive than patently ridiculous, mostly because its ethnic white noise is really just an excuse for Robin Williams—as a postmodern blabbermouthed genie who grants Aladdin three wishes—to put on the most elaborate, narcissistic circus act in the history of cinema.
