Directed by: John Musker & Ron Clements Written by: Ron Clements & John Musker and Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio Starring: The voice talents of Scott Weinger, Robin Williams, Linda Larkin, Jonathan Freeman, Frank Welker, Gilbert Gottfried & Douglas Seale What the box says: Soar away on a magic carpet ride of nonstop enchantment in the most spectacular animated adventure of all time! Embraced by critics and audiences of all ages, Disney's Aladdin became the #1 film of the year, winning 2 Academy Awards for Best Song, "A Whole New World" (Alan Menken, Tim Rice) and Best Score (Alan Menken). Set in the mythical city of Agrabah, the story follows a street-smart peasant, Aladdin, and his mischievous pet monkey, Abu. Aladdin falls in love with the free-spirited Princess Jasmine - despite a law that says she can only wed a royal suitor! His luck changes with one rub of the lamp, releasing the shape-shifting, fun-loving, wish-giving Genie - who turns him into a Prince! But the evil sorcerer, Jafar, and his wisecracking parrot, Iago, also crave the lamp's power. If Aladdin is to defeat them and win Jasmine's heart, he must learn to be himself - and that's one wish the Genie can't grant! With a magical mix of delightful Disney characters, breathtaking Disney artistry, and playful humor, "You couldn't wish for a more wonderful film!" (Joel Siegel, ABC-TV) |
