Aladdin | 1992 | G | - 1.3.0
Animated comedic action/adventure with a romantic subplot, inspired by the fairy-tale character. Robin Williams voices the Genie.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - Three Disney kisses. Two between the Princess and Aladdin and one between the Princess and the evil Jafar. The princess is drawn rather seductively, with a little cleavage and an exposed midriff. And she does flaunt her curvy figure.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Although an animated feature, some of the scenes contain some realistic looking violence which may scare younger kids. A huge lion head -- it's supposed to be a cave -- comes alive and gobbles up a thief who goes inside. Aladdin is threatened by guards brandishing swords a number of times. Aladdin and his monkey and magic carpet are trapped in the cave of wonders when it is flooded with lava. Jafar turns into a huge snake and begins squeezing Aladdin. The Sultan is chained and is being tortured by being force-fed crackers by Jafar's parrot. A guard almost cuts off the princess's hand.
LANGUAGE 0 - None.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Since Aladdin subsists by stealing, questions about means and ends and situational ethics may arise.
MESSAGE - Be yourself. Some laws are made to be broken.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Gladiator II - 2.7.2
Wicked: Part I - 3.4.2
Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. - 1.5.3
Emilia Pérez - 6.6.7
