-------------
Aladdin
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' improvisational
energy and the equally entertaining performances of Freeman and
Gilbert Gottfried (as Jafar's parrot). --Tom Keogh
The Return of Jafar
The Return of Jafar, the 1994, direct-to-video follow-up to
Aladdin (it's actually four episodes of the Aladdin television
program, back-to-back) is a wash-out compared to the Robin
Williams-driven animation feature that kicked off the franchise.
The story partially involves the villainous Jafar's
parrot--Iago--trying to leave his master and befriend Aladdin and
Jasmine. Williams is nowhere to be found, unfortunately; the
genie's voice is provided by Dan Castellaneta, and the difference
shows. --Tom Keogh
Aladdin and the King of Thieves
Robin Williams returns as the voice of the hyperactive genie in
Aladdin and the King of Thieves, the second direct-to-video
sequel to Disney's hit animated feature. Aladdin, the street
beggar turned Prince, risks all to find his her among the
cutthroat 40 thieves and joins his quest to find a Midas-like
stone that turns everything it touches into gold. A significant
cut above most made-for-video animation, this energetic adventure
largely leaves Princess Jasmine and the genie behind for a
her-and-son quest. Guest voice Jerry Orbach suggests Sean
Connery with his thick-as-molasses delivery as the master thief
Sa'luk and, despite his limited screen time, Williams once again
delights with his wild flights of fantasy as the big blue Genie.
A rousing tale full of last-minute escapes and spectacular,
kid-sized thrills that even parents will find entertaining.
