Synopsis

This funny, romantic tale about a spunky orphan and a smart princess won the hearts of children and adults alike.
Poor Aladdin looks longingly at the Sultan's luxurious castle, and dreams of living inside, but Princess Jasmine wants only to escape that pampered life. Finally, she does run away, only to discover how hard life on the streets can be -- especially when a vendor accuses you of thievery. Aladdin comes to her rescue, and soon the two have fallen in love. But how can a beggar marry the sultan's daughter? His only hope lies in a magic lamp from the Cave of Wonders and a wisecracking genie who can grant wishes. But Jafar, the Sultan's evil advisor, desires that lamp himself, so he can rule the kingdom and possess Jasmine. Soon the handsome young boy and the cruel Jafar are locked in a battle of wits -- and unleashing magic the likes of which no one has seen before.

Product Description
Review

USA Today, 11/11/1992, p.1D, "...ALADDIN is Disney's most psychedelic feature since FANTASIA, a magic carpet peel-out through crowded streets, spacious palaces and mystical interstates..."

New York Times, 11/11/1992, p.C15, "...The fundamentals here go beyond first-rate....What will come through clearly to audiences of any age is the breathless euphoria of [Williams's] free associations..."

Premiere, 10/01/2004, p.110, "The impossibly simple and romantic fairy tale is just as captivating 12 years after its release..."
