This is a student review. I have to write it for a school assignment. Please review and rate my review.
In the 1992 movie, Aladdin, there are many great things. There are awesome characters, great picture graphics, and many more. This movie is one of the best animated movies of all time, especially when its for the young and the old.
Aladdin is a movie about a young boy known as a street rat. He spends his time stealing food for the less fortunate. He eventually gets arrested and meets an old man who wants to get an old magic lamp. That has a genie in it so that he can take over the kingdom. Aladdin goes to find the lamp in the Cave of Wonders. When the cave closes up Aladdin gets stuck inside with his pet monkey, Abu. As the cave was closing up, a magic carpet saved them. He swooped up under them as the rocks they were standing on turned to lava. While stuck in the cave, Abu gave Aladdin the lamp. He tried to wipe the dirty lamp clean as a genie came out. The genie and the carpet help them all get out of the cave. Back home Aladdin becomes genies master and helps him impress the Princess Jasmine, even though she knows the true Aladdin.
John Musker and Ron Clements directed the Movie Aladdin. The idea of adapting the Aladdin story as a Disney animated musical was first proposed by Howard Ashman in 1988 when he and Alan Menken were still working on "The Little Mermaid." Howard Ashman and Alan Menken worked on six songs, some including "Arabian Nights," "Friend Like Me," and "Prince Ali." After Ashman's death in 1991, Tim Rice came on board to write some additional songs, notably, "One Jump Ahead" and "A Whole New World."
The stars of the movie are, Robin Williams as the voice of the very funny and exciting genie; Scott Weinger as the voice, and Brad Kane as the singer of the young, handsome boy Aladdin; Linda Larkin and Lea Salonga as the singer of the beautiful, young princess, Jasmine. Also Jonathan Freeman was the voice of the mean and hateful, Jafar. Gilbert Gottfried was the annoying bird, Iago.
This movie has great sound and color. Compared to other movies that sound choppy and dull. The movie running time is 1hr. 30min. The movie is also rated G because it is for all people young and old. The movie computer-generated imagery enabled the filmmakers to create the amazing magic carpet ride through the Cave of Wonders, and the stunning tiger head cave. The film became the highest-grossing animated film of its time, earning over $200 million internationally. The film also won Academy Awards® for Best Song ("A Whole New World") and Best Original Score. The video release in 1993 also set records.
This movie is a great movie for any kind of movie night whether its for dinner and a movie or a sleep over. The Aladdin movie is enjoyable to watch at all ages. Also the price is great only $21.24 at Wal-Mart. I still like watching Aladdin and plan to for a long time. Aladdin has its funny parts and its serious parts. But no matter what happens in the movie it is a great all round family movie. There were also two more made-for-video sequels: "The Return of Jafar" and "Aladdin and the King of Thieves." Personally I believe that they are just as good as Aladdin.
