Product Description
A Walt Disney Classic movie about Aladdin and the magic lamp. plastic protective case good and VHS plays very good.
Amazon.com
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

 A film that nobody could have predicted, a curve ball turned into a home run July 24, 2010
Pork Chop (Lisbon, Portugal)
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
top-quality animation work (colors, flow, designs, accuracy and
style of the drawings) which is expected from Disney. The historic
parallel story told about "Alladin" is woven into this script, with
entertainment being the overwhelming concern - a totally correct
decision. Those elements add up such that they satisfy paying
consumers and boost the replay value immensely.
From an audio point of view, the jingle is immediately recognizable
as an Aerosmith's number ( "Rag Doll, livin' in a movie ... so fine
they'll never see ya leavin' by the back door"), here rerecorded
with a Louis Armstrong style and instrumentation.
Secondly, a not small part of the story is farfetched, with no
imaginative boundaries ... this definitely takes this movie into a
completely other dimension, bringing it ever closer to what everyone
knows as dreams. Being incomprehensible is perhaps intentional, in
the sense that this picture is not designed ONLY for youths, but
also for parents and grown ups, both who will find themselves
laughing out loud, chuckling and amazed at the many sequences
throughout the 90 minutes. Some parts are sincere but hard-hitting,
tender and brutal at the same time.
Finally, the wide-ranging, not timid and no-limits of the story,
much of it resulting from observation immersed in reality, calls
forth other emotions - sarcasm, parody or mockery of certain
cultural elements of non-Western countries. Examples is the concept
of pre-arranged marriages, monarchies, strong arm guards, beheadings
for minor misakes, a camel shown with a tongue hanging out from
overwork and thirst, social caste systems, etc.
Or in other words, a fair bit seems extreme and not essential to a
cartoon, so that no doubt a part of the audience may find them
politically incorrect or controversial and out of step with the 21st
century.
The often heard shouting raises eyebrows, considering that the
script concerns the romance between Aladdin and a princess.
Taken together, the script rises above and beyond the mainstream,
which is why, perhaps, this movie is an artist's art . designed for
those who are jaded about revisiting again a classic story. e.g. a
showbiz style of speech is used at times to parody certain moments
in the able
In sum, this is a film that nobody could have predicted .. a curve
ball turned into a home run.
 Not sure it is a ligit copy July 18, 2010
Mommy of 2
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 on that. My son plays with our TV settings so when we watched it he may have just played with the buttons and my husband may have fixed it since. Im not too concerned as you can tell. Good enough for a 2 and 4 year old!

Just what I expected. The DVD played fine. It had a few minor scratches that did not affect the performance.
