Empire Olly Richards

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. Read full review

David Sterritt

It's the best animated fun of the year, and you don't need a lamp or a genie to enjoy it. Read full review

Jay Boyar

For the first time on the big screen, Williams' whirligig wit is totally unencumbered - and it isn't just free, it's supercharged by animation. Read full review

Bill Cosford

It is a masterpiece of design. The animated backgrounds are voluptuously illustrated, and the action often proceeds at dizzying speed, while an elaborate fabric of subtle visual cues steer the narrative. [25 Nov 1992, p.E1]

Stephen Hunter

It's shallow as a puddle, but lots o' fun. Read full review

Marjorie Baumgarten

Williams' shape-shifting, gag-spouting, celebrity-impersonating Genie is truly a hurricane in a bottle. His manic energy and hip humor are so exhilarating that the rest of the movie risks grinding to a halt whenever he's not onscreen. Read full review

Ed Gonzalez

Aladdin is ultimately less offensive than patently ridiculous, mostly because its ethnic white noise is really just an excuse for Robin Williams—as a postmodern blabbermouthed genie who grants Aladdin three wishes—to put on the most elaborate, narcissistic circus act in the history of cinema.

Despite being made in 1992, Aladdin still remains one of the greatest animated movies in history: the story and characters capture your attention quickly, and the bright visuals and OST make you want to rewatch it more than once. Masterpiece hands down.
