  Aladdin (1992 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
Aladdin discovers that the lamp is home to a genie, who will grant him any three wishes, excluding wishes to force a person to fall in love, to kill someone, to bring someone back from the dead, or to give his master extra wishes.
Aladdin reminds Jafar he is not the most powerful being on Earth, and that that honor belongs to the genie, since he gave Jafar his power in the first place.

Aladdin is the story of an orphan living on the street of Agrabah and survives by stealing breads from people.
Aladdin too is oppressed by the Sharia or Quranic laws of the Moslems that have strict laws against crime such as cutting of the hands for stealing.
In the newer version of Aladdin too Jasmine wears the silk pajamas and short top to reveal her own sexuality in the same manner, confirming the researcher's opinion that Hollywood has in fact stigmatized the Orientals in their specific roles and perception so that the role of the woman is captured in the time.

So Aladdin hits on a plan to have the Genie turn him into the fabulously heroic and wealthy Prince Ali, a suitable suitor for the princess, and he sweeps into town to win the Princess's heart.
This movie has a lesson, something that is sometimes missing even from Disney classics - be yourself; Aladdin succeeds when he relies on his own abilities and his own identity rather than on the Genie's magic and illusion.
This movie was such a success that it led a number of feature-length straight-to-video sequel movies and a non-musical TV series, with most of the same cast (except the Genie was done by Dan Castellaneta, who does the voice of Homer Simpson and a bunch of others).

Aladdin finds the lamp and is about to leave, when Abu, despite the warning to touch nothing but the lamp, touches a forbidden jewel (it was so pretty, Abu couldn't help it).
So Aladdin says that he'll free the genie (and the funny thing that follows is that the genie says, "Uh-huh, yeah, right" and turns his head into Pinocchio's and has his nose stuck out really long).

Aladdin (speaking voice of Scott Weinger, singing voice of Brad Kane) is a "street rat," a thief who dreams of winning the love of the beautiful Princess Jasmine (spoken by Linda Larkin, sung by Lea Salonga) and living in the royal palace.
Aladdin uses one of three wishes to become "Prince Ali" in an attempt to woo Jasmine.
Aladdin's introductory number, "0ne Jump Ahead," doesn't dig deep into the personality of the main character, unlike Mermaid's "Part of Your World" or Beauty's "Belle." The main ballad, "A Whole New World," is beautiful and poetic but doesn't have the universal lyric's of Beauty's title tune.

A bit better on all counts is "Aladdin," which is Disney's updated version of the Aladdin and the magic lamp tale, made by some of the same folks who brought us "Beauty and the Beast" last year.
Aladdin here is a street kid who falls in love with the Sultan's daughter, Jassmine, when she escapes her confinement in the palace and wanders in the Bazzar.
Of course she ends up with Aladdin in the end but at least he's her choice and there seems to be a kind of equality and mutuality between them.

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: Aladdin | Deseret Morning News Web edition
The story has Aladdin and his pet monkey being forced by an evil wizard to obtain the magic lamp from a hidden, mystical treasure trove.
When things go awry, Aladdin, the monkey and a helpful, amazingly expressive magic carpet are trapped with the lamp, and when Aladdin innocently rubs it, he releases you-know-who.
"Aladdin" is a terrific film, a highly entertaining experience but it is by no means strictly for children.

 Kristin's Studio - Aladdin
But when he first auditioned for Aladdin in February 1991, Weinger was enough of a greenhorn not to com-prehend, until a friend later clued him in, that the project in question was to be Disney's next big animation extravaganza.
Of course the person giving the movie its edge is Robin Williams, who plays a genie who not only grants wishes but does dead-on impersonations of Jack Nicholson, Dr. Ruth and William F. Buckley Jr.
Since voices are recorded before the animation is drawn, Aladdin's animators videotaped Weinger as he read; that way, they had visual records of his expressions to consult while they drew.

Hoping to seize the kingdom for himself, Jafar enlists the aid of Aladdin in an effort to obtain a fabled magic lamp, the purported powers of which are unlimited.
When Aladdin fails in Jafar's quest, he is left to die in the stomach of the endless sands, but Aladdin discovers the mysterious lamp and the blue genie who resides inside.
Granting Aladdin the ultimate power of three wishes (with certain conditions such as not wishing for more wishes or wishing for someone to fall in love with you), the genie transforms Aladdin into a powerful Prince, thus making him eligible to marry Princess Jasmine.

Executives perceived the character to lighten the tone of the film excessively, and the turkey was replaced with the characters Meeko the raccoon and Flit the hummingbird.
Many at Disney had high hopes for the movie while it was in production.
Given the quality and popularity of the films which preceded it – The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and especially The Lion King – it is perhaps inevitable that Pocahontas would be found wanting, both critically and commercially.

 Review: Aladdin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
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.

With Robin Williams at the mike, Aladdin's Genie can't resist doing take-offs of other entertainers-and neither, in their own way, can anybody in Disney's animation unit.
Continuing in the vein of Beauty and the Beast, the art-ists, screenwriters, and directors of Aladdin wove much of their modern narrative from the shredded cloth of other well-known tales.
And just as in Disney's new film, a scowling vizier named Jaffar (it's Jafar in Aladdin) plots to marry the senile sultan's daughter until he is foiled by a prince with a sidekick (only in Thief, Abu is not a monkey but a boy, played by actor Sabu).

Aladdin made its theatrical début in 1992, and took the audience by storm.
However, Aladdin's casual attitude towards serious crimes, his lack of consequences for thievery, and his dependence on lies, may present bigger worries.

ALADDIN was the third animated hit that Disney had in a relatively short time during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Robin Williams helped make ALADDIN the huge success it became (and also started a bit of controversy, putting Eisner's Mouse in its place) and listening to his hyped antics on some of the tunes is always a pleasure.
Aladdin features some of the best music ever heard, and both the songs and the movie will outlast time.

 Aladdin Movie Review at Hollywood Video
Twelve years after Aladdin smashed box office records and inspired two straight-to-video sequels, it finally comes to DVD in a two-disc Special Edition set that was actually worth the wait.
An extremely liberal adaptation of the classic tale, Aladdin follows the charming hero and erstwhile thief (Scott Weinger) in his quest to win the heart of the beautiful Princess Jasmine (Linda Larkin).
Even if Aladdin didn't have Williams riffing hilariously as the hero's sidekick, it would still work as a sweeping adventure story, full of hairbreadth escapes and dazzling action, right up there with Disney's Tarzan.

 Trivia for Aladdin (1992)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
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.
The idea of adapting the Aladdin story as a Disney animated musical was first proposed by Howard Ashman in 1988 at the time that he and Alan Menken were still working on The Little Mermaid (1989) and before work had begun on Beauty and the Beast (1991).
Originally, the peddler who introduces the movie would be revealed to be the Genie at the end - hence the fact that Robin Williams voiced him, too.

Aladdin is one of the last great animated films from Disney, and a lot of the credit is owed to the bad guys.
In a classic poor-boy-makes-good story, it would be easy to ignore the villian and concentrate on the "heart of gold" and love-interest storylines, but directors Clements and Musker gave plenty of screen time for the wonderfully sneering and arrogant Jafar.
On the movie, it's a great rendition of the tales of 1,001 Arabian Nights (with Disney's own plot and characterizations) which will entertain members of the entire family.
