Critics' reviews

"The fundamentals here go beyond first-rate: animation both gorgeous and thoughtful, several wonderful songs and a wealth of funny minor figures on the sidelines, practicing foolproof Disney tricks."

Janet Maslin: The New York Times
"Floridly beautiful, shamelessly derivative and infused with an irreverent, sophisticated comic flair thanks to Robin Williams' vocal calisthenics"

Brian Lowry: Variety
"'Aladdin' is good but not great, with the exception of the Robin Williams sequences, which have a life and energy all their own.(…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"'Aladdin' is a film of wonders. To see it is to be the smallest child, open-mouthed at the screen's sense of magic, as well as the most knowing adult, eager to laugh at some surprisingly sly humor."

Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times
"The results are fun and fast moving, but far from sublime."

Jonathan Rosenbaum: Chicago Reader
"Immensely enjoyable (...) [It is] built to last"

Ty Burr: Entertainment Weekly
"Disney quite simply has outdone itself with this marvelous adaptation of the ancient fairy tale (...) The film's ancient exoticism is imaginatively paired with computer technology"

Rita Kempley: The Washington Post
