	Author	Review
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"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."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"Floridly beautiful, shamelessly derivative and infused with an irreverent, sophisticated comic flair thanks to Robin Williams' vocal calisthenics"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"'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)"	POS
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"'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."	POS
United States	Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader	"The results are fun and fast moving, but far from sublime."	POS
United States	Ty Burr Entertainment Weekly	"Immensely enjoyable (...) [It is] built to last"	POS
United Kingdom	Olly Richards Empire	"The movie that brought a hip new sensibility to animated features and which still stands up in the age of Pixar and DreamWorks thanks largely to a blistering improv turn from Robin Williams (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Rita Kempley The Washington Post	"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"	POS
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"'Aladdin' maintains the high standards set by its immediate predecessors (...) This is a fun motion picture on all levels (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Ed Gonzalez Slant	"'Aladdin' is ultimately less offensive than patently ridiculous (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tom Hutchinson Radio Times	"Robin Williams's vocal performance as the Genie steals the show in this beautifully constructed Disney animation (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"One of the most successful animated features ever; easy to see why. Visually, it's a treat (...) The script crackles with wit and life"	POS
United States	John Hartl Seattle Times	"A thoroughly satisfying musical-comedy romp (...) You'll want to see it again almost immediately."	POS
