Soar away on a magic carpet ride of nonstop thrills and fun in the most spectacular adventure of all time! Now meticulously restored and enhanced -- experience the wonders of ALADDIN like never before, from the Academy Award(R)-winning music (Best Original Song, Best Original Score, 1992) to the unforgettable moments of sidesplitting comedy and soaring adventure. In the heart of an enchanted city, a commoner named Aladdin and his mischievous monkey, Abu, battle to save the free-spirited Princess Jasmine. Aladdin's whole life changes with one rub of a magic lamp as a fun-loving, shape-shifting Genie appears and grants him three wishes, setting him on an incredible journey of discovery. Through his adventures, Aladdin proves that he is a prince where it truly matters most -- on the inside!
Disney's 1992 animated feature is a triumph of wit and skill. The high-tech artwork and graphics look great, the characters are strong, the familiar story is nicely augmented with an interesting villain (Jafar, voiced by Jonathan Freeman), and there's an incredible hook atop the whole thing: Robin Williams's frantically hilarious vocal performance as Aladdin's genie. Even if one isn't particularly moved by the love story between the title character (Scott Weinger) and his girlfriend Jasmine (Linda Larkin), you can easily get lost in Williams's improvisational energy and the equally entertaining performances of Freeman and Gilbert Gottfried (as Jafar's parrot). --Tom Keogh

We received the DVD fast & in good condition. My daughter watches it all the time.
A film that nobody could have predicted, a curve ball turned into a home run:
Aladdin (1992) will either knock the socks off viewers, or confound
them as an incomprehensible cartoon and musical or finally,
constitute a piece of art for creators of art, in the sense that so
much is packed into the product, from an artistic point of view and
the manner in which it is done, that it suggests this release was
not entirely designed for the mass market or to have a mass appeal. First, the spectacular is definitely here, starting with the

Not sure it is a ligit copy:
The movie came in a timely manner and it will work for us. I have two little kids and they dont care that it looks to be a copy and not a disney original. The movie was shrunk wrapped but didn't have the tape type stuff on the inside that disney does nor did it have the same look. The lable on the disk looks pigmented more than a real copy and I am pretty sure it is not really a disney copy but, it works for us and the movie plays fine. It may have a little more red pigment than the original but I am unsure... more info
