Those of you expecting the comfy family-sedan ride of Beauty and the Beast are in for a shock-the immensely enjoyable Aladdin roars off the Disney production line like the latest-model sports car.

Janet Maslin New York Times (Top Critic)

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.

There's a good chance you're going to enjoy Aladdin more than the children.

A magic carpet ride, a flight aboard a supersonic little Persian steered by all the wishes that ever were.

Robin Williams and animation were born for one another, and in Aladdin they finally meet.

Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader (Top Critic)

The results are fun and fast moving, but far from sublime.

Floridly beautiful, shamelessly derivative and infused with an irreverent, sophisticated comic flair thanks to Robin Williams' vocal calisthenics...

Much of the humor comes courtesy of Williams, who deserves (but won't get) an Oscar nomination for his vocal versatility.

Richard Corliss TIME Magazine (Top Critic)

It juggles a '90s impudence with the old Disney swank and heart.

So funny and scrappy you don't need to drag a kid along.

It's awfully close to being a great story, but it keeps having to settle for pretty darn good.

Grants all three wishes and some more besides with a brilliant turn from Williams' genie and some beautiful animation.

Visually, it's a treat, a perfect marriage of hi-tech graphics and the traditional Disney virtue of strong characterisation and colour.

Filme irreverente e com bons trabalhos vocais de Williams e Gottfried, embora pouco ambicioso dos pontos de vista narrativo e tecnico.

Evoking wonder and magic, Disney's animated version of the famous fable benefits from the melodic score, Robin Williams' voice as Genie, and a colorful gallery of supporting characters.

A satisfying little gem.

The humor quotient is high, thanks to such scene-stealers as the duplicitous parrot Iago, the mischievous monkey Abu and, of course, Robin Williams' motormouth Genie.

The least spurious movie of Disney's renaissance
