For years, I considered it the peak of Disney’s incredibly fertile ‘90s run, incredible as much of its competition had been.ĭon’t get me wrong, I still love Aladdin. It has colorful characters and catchy songs and a generally upbeat tone.įew films wore out my old VCR the way Aladdin did, given how often I would replay the video and rewind it to catch “Friend Like Me” just one more time. It leans heavily on action, comedy, and razzmatazz animation.
Aladdin courts more of a male audience than a lot of the other Disney films of the era. As a kid, my favorite Disney film was Aladdin.
