Aladdin

Review by James Anthony

School holidays are the perfect time for parents to sit down with the kids and settle in for a bout of DVD watching and one of this house's favourites is the two-disc special edition version of Aladdin.

Originally released in 1992, Aladdin has had a workover and the Disney studios have added a major package of extras for even better value.

Aladdin

Aladdin is the tale of a young street rat who dreams of something better in his life and somehow finds his destiny wrapped up with that of the beautiful princess Jasmine.

With the help of a cheeky monkey Abu, a magic flying carpet and of course a wacky geneie played by an outrageously over-the-top Robin Williams, Aladdin has to battle evil for the good of all in old Arabia.

The evil of which we speak is in the form of the vizier-turned sorcerer Jafar who has for not only the crown, but also Jasmine. To help him is his wickedly naughty parrot Iago.

The animation for Aladdin is excellent and so are the songs that punctuate the movie. The best remembered is probably A Whole New World, which has a modern update in the extras package with a music video by Nick Lachey and his lady Jessica (is this fish or chicken) Simpson.

Aladdin is a terrific movie for both adults and kids and if you don't already have a DVD copy in your library now is the time to get out and grab one.

Conclusion: Movie 85% Extras 90%
