#ALADDIN OLD BEGGAR TV#
"Aladdin just won the heart of the princess," he says later, pretending to be a TV announcer and peering at Aladdin through a TV-shaped square formed with his hands. "Not that I want to pick out curtains or anything. "I'm kinda fond of you, kid," he tells Aladdin at one point. You never know what's going to come out next. As Genie, he imitates countless personalities, including Jack Nicholson, Ethel Merman and - in his piece de resistance - William F.
It's clear he did his manically improvised act before the animators got to work. Once he's out of that lamp, there's no stopping him. "Aladdin," quite simply, belongs to Williams. Meanwhile, Jafar and parrot (Gottfried at his most gravelly) are trying their dastardly best to take over the sultanate. But when he's presented to her, he stays in arrogant disguise, scared she'll reject the beggar she once met. Fox!) decides to become a prince so he can win Jasmine. Aladdin (drawn intentionally to resemble Tom Cruise and Michael J. With pet monkey Abu in tow, Aladdin meets a friendly magic rug and, above all, the hyper-witty genie in the lamp who grants him three wishes. An opportunity to achieve this desire comes when Jafar hires him to retrieve the magic lamp from the forbidding Cave of Wonders. Like the Little Mermaid before him, he dreams of marrying above his station. Meanwhile, our hero Aladdin (Scott Weinger) is a street urchin who after serendipitously meeting Jasmine falls in love with her. The Sultan, it turns out, is under the hypnotic control of power-hungry vizier Jafar (Jonathan Freeman) and his nasty-tongued parrot Iago (splenetic Gilbert Gottfried). But Jasmine, who seems to have stepped out of the 1990s, resents this family glass ceiling.
Anxious to find a son-in-law for his daughter Jasmine (Linda Larkin) and heir, the old man has invited suitors from near and afar. As the voice of the Genie, he uncorks another wildly inspired performance.īased on the centuries-old folk tale popularized in "A Thousand and One Nights," "Aladdin" is set in the mythical kingdom of Agrabah, presided over by the bumbling, benevolent Sultan (Douglas Seale). A cornucopia of visual splendor, it's also a comic riot, thanks to Robin Williams. Walt Disney's 31st animated feature carries young and old on its magic carpet. There's a good chance you're going to enjoy "Aladdin" more than the children.
