Aladdin is a streeturchin who lives in a large and busy town long ago with his faithful monkey friend Abu. When Princess Jasmine gets tired of being forced to remain in the palace that overlooks the city she sneaks out to the marketplace where she accidentally meets Aladdin. Under the orders of the evil Jafar (the sultans advisor) Aladdin is thrown in jail and becomes caught up in Jafars plot to rule the land with the aid of a mysterious lamp. Legend has it that only a person who is a diamond in the rough can retrieve the lamp from the Cave of Wonders. Aladdin might fit that description but thats not enough to marry the princess who must (by law) marry a prince.

Review

I grew up watching this film and along with Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella it is one of my favourite Disney films. I love it! Robin Williams is so good in it. Hes hilarious. This film isnt just for kids but for the whole family. I think I was about 5 when I first saw it and at 14 I still watch it and so do my parents. I havent seen the sequels because I heard that Robin Williams wasnt in them and decided that they wouldnt be as good without him. He was made for the part. The songs are amazing. I love singing along to "A Whole new World". Im hoping to get the soundtrack soon. I also love the film because I have the same name as the princess in it! I would definitely recommend it to everyone. Youre never too old to watch a classic Disney film.
