Aladdin 1992 Film Review


When Walt Disney Feature Animation really does want to put in the effort to create a really good film that's exactly what we get. With it being exactly what we got with alot of the films in the Disney Renaissance where alot of if not all of there films released during that time period are really now classic films due to how good that they were back then and still are now with a great example of that being the film that i'm about to review for you all today and so then join me as I review the film showed kids just how funny Robin Williams really was with the film in question being called simply just "Aladdin" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when a street rat named Aladdin meets a beautiful girl in the marketplace he finds his life changed forever and he has stop the evil Jafar from trying to rule the kingdom once and for all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with the plot of this film really holding up really well all of these years later as it's still just as suspenseful and as a exciting as it was back in 1992 with that being just how good the plot of this film really is with it being helped by the fact that the plot of this film is also really well written by four writers who really knew what they doing when they were crafting this films plot and as a result of that is the fact that we the audience end up with a plot that feels timeless because it is timeless as the core of this films plot is one that any generation can relate to and find some amusement in with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this film is Scott Weinger as Aladdin , Linda Larkin as Jasmine and Jonathan Freeman as Jafar. Also starring in this film is Robin Williams as the Genie and The Peddler , Frank Welker as Abu , Rajah and The Cave Of Wonders , Gilbert Gottfried as Iago , Douglas Seale as The Sultan , Jim Cummings as Razoul , Tiny Toon Adventures star Charlie Adler as Gazeem and Corey Burton as Prince Achmed.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With this film rather rightfully getting alot of praise for it's acting when it was first released in particular that of Robin Williams who simply shines as both The Genie and The Peddler with both characters having Williams distinct comedy stylings and yet both characters also feel really different from each other as well and it's the same thing for alot of this film actors as well as they all bring something unique to there respective and that's something that would have been lost had they had been played by another actors with the acting that's in this film also really being helped by the fact that this fil s script is just so good that all this films cast really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.


Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Walt Disney Animation Studios and Alias Research Inc. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with the films 2D hand drawn animation looking fantastic and while yes the 3D CGI animation does seem dated by today's standard looking at from the time period that this film was released in it does look a lot better then what it really could have done and given that CGI was a fair;y new thing at this point in time it is understandable that it would look a little bit dated in some aspects but the films animation does overall look fantastic and really does hold up all pf these later compare this to the GI in the 2019 Aladdin film which has already started to age horribly with all of this films characters having some really nice fluid movements to them and all of the the films backgrounds looking real and looking like that there actually lived in.


As a romance film this film does work really well as both Aladdin and Jasmine are some really likable characters. That we the audience want to see get together in the end and seeing them struggle to make there relationship as this is basically a lier revealed story does work as it adds drama to there relationship and it gives it a ticking time bomb as we know that sooner or later the big secret is going to come out and seeing how both of those characters deal with the fall out is interesting as the film doesn't linger on them breaking up as there back together within a few minuets and even tho there's a three year age gap with Aladdin being eighteen years old and Jasmine being fifteen years old they both act more mature then people who are older then them as they both deal with Aladdin being a lier in a very mature manner just by talking about it and this is something that does ley the groundworks for a good relationship as it shows that they both trust each other and are willing to do whatever it takes in order to make the other person happen with this rea;;y being helped by the fact that both Aladdin and Jasmine being a pair of really likable characters.

This film is a musical that has songs that are written by the great Howard Ashman and the great Sir Tim Rice. With all of this films songs being a bunch of really good songs that not only hold up really well but alot of them are also really well written and well sung as well and while yes there are few bad songs in there like for example "Prince Ali (Reprise)" and to much more lesser extent "Arabian Nights" the rest of this films are a bunch of really good songs with the best song in this whole entire film being of course "A Whole New New World" which is just such a beautiful song with that song also being really well sung by Brad Kane and Lea Salonga and while yes the film does gave some really fun songs in there as well like "One Step Ahead" and "Prince Ali" alot of this films songs are some really serious songs that are really catchy songs that still hold up really well of these years later the same things however cannot be said for "Speechless" from the 2019 Aladdin remake as that song doesn't add anything to the plot of the film where as a song like "A Whole New World" does as it shows Aladdin and Jasmine falling even deeper in love with each other something which really is a key plot point of the film.


Interms of this films villain Jafar really is a good villain and is one of Disney's more better and creepier villains. As he does have a clear end goal in wanting to take control away from the Sultan and every scene that he's in is all about advancing to that end goal and as a result of that is the fact that we get to see just how far he's willing to go in order to achieve his goal which is something that does make him a creepy villain and on top of that is the fact that the character does have some characters flaws which do ultimately play apart in his ultimate downfall like the fact that he really does have a huge ego something that Aladdin takes advantage of at the end of the film to get Jafar to turn himself into a genie so that Aladdin can trap him in his own magic lamp which is a really good idea but at the same time it's also not really something that's set up as something that could happen either where as with the Aladdin remake they do at the very least set up that if your not hyper accurate about what you want your wish to be then people could take advantage of that which is something that would have worked well for this film as this films Jafar is by far the superior version of the character as everything about this character just screams really creepy and scary.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty six minuets and forty two seconds. Which is the absolutely perfect running time for this fil to have as this film has the right amount of plot there to really cover that large amount of running time and as a result of that is the fact that almost every single scene in this film is all about either advancing the plot of the film or about advancing the characters are personal character journey be it Aladdin's arc of learning that it's OK to be yourself if you really want to get the girl or Jasmine's character arc of learning that being different isn't always a good thing alot of the scenes that are in this film are all about advancing either the plot or the characters charters arcs and to this films credit it really does both of those in ways that really do feel natural and even the film does have a really short amount of running time it really does take full advantage of that really short amount of running time by making us care for the characters be it because there really likable characters or be it because there really evil characters either way the film makes sure that us the audience really do care for it's characters in one way or another but I will admit that film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With this film having alot of painfully moments in it with alot of them coming from Robin Williams as The Genie who is just so funny and is just such a funny character and the fact that the makers of the film used the fact that Robin Williams can do some really good impressions of celebrities and had it be apart of The Genie's personality just goes to show you that the makers of this film put alot of care and attention into this film and even some of the songs have some really funny moments in them as well with the best example of this being "One Step Ahead" where we see Aladdin outwit the guards in several really comedic ways alot of which are really funny and alot of which work really well as well and while yes the film does have some pretty bad jokes in it as well the film has alot more good jokes in it then it does ave bad jokes in it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall even thirty two years later and it really does go to show what kind of animated films Disney really could put out when they put alot of love , care and attention into it rather then instead turning out something like Strange World as this film is one that is timeless and will hold up really well where as with films like Strange World they'll be dated in a year's time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 0 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girl and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Disney fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images really from this very film being the really great the official Disney fandom wiki page this is really because of the fact that really all of the images that I really indeed got and really used from the great the official Disney fandom wiki page really are all really high quality with all the images that are currently up and on the really great the official Disney fandom wiki page really are all being really fairly high in quality and as well as them all really being fairly high in definition.
