Aladdin
Director: Ron Clements, John Musker
Year: 1992
Stars: Robin Williams, Scott Weinger, Linda Larkin, Jonathan Freeman (voices)
I've probably seen this before. I know I didn't see it when it was released, but it's incredibly likely that I've seen it on DVD at a friend's house at some point. I didn't really remember it though, and when I saw that it was premiering on terrestrial TV I figured I'd watch it - it looked like it might be quite good, after all.
The plot follows Aladdin, a "street urchin" who is worthy enough to acquire a magical lamp that contains a genie who will grant you three wishes (Robin Williams). As with all good Disney movies, there is a terrifying baddie (Jafar), cute animals and a number of musical moments.
Once again, this is great Disney. Aladdin is a really enjoyable film with a great plot, some brilliant songs and some incredibly cute, loveable animals. A great way to spend a couple of hours, whatever your age.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Watching films is one of my favourite hobbies. Often the films I watch aren't the biggest, or newest, films of the moment - but smaller independent movies, things on late night TV, or simply films I missed first time around. Not to say that the latest cinema releases don't get a look-in: my tastes are pretty diverse and I'll give almost any film a chance! This blog aims to reflect something of that diversity, reviewing as many of the films that I've watched since November 2008 as possible.

About Me
- Anna Lawson
- I live in Bristol with my husband Dan (who I married in July 2007), my son Joe (born 2012) and daughter Jess (born 2015). I work at UWE (the University of the West of England) in Bristol as a Research and Open Access Librarian. I'm orginally from Exeter, so moving back to Bristol is a bit like coming home - especially as I studied for my undergraduate degree here (also at UWE). I love travelling and movies, although I get to do a lot less of both since the birth of our children. Although we have still managed to fit in holidays to the Isles of Scilly, Chamonix and a summer in California since Joe was born.
