23. Aladdin- 1992

Rating: 🏆 most excellent

A poor street rat and his mischievous monkey are told to fetch a lamp from the cave of wonders and return it to an ominous stranger. But when they discover the lamp contains a genie, their luck turns and Aladdin wishes he was a prince so that he could set out to woo the beautiful Princess Jasmine, and save her from marrying the Sultan’s evil vizier Jafar.

Aladdin might be the best Disney movie ever made. The soundtrack and score are 🔥 and the animation is gorgeous. The plot is fast paced and entertaining, the characters are well developed and the protagonists are as lovable as the antagonists are despised. But what sets Aladdin apart is the comedy. This movie is FUNNY. Robin Williams’ performance as the genie will forever go down as one of the greatest characters of all time. The comedic elements of this movie seamlessly integrate pop culture references from different decades that are funny and don’t pull you out of the story. All in all, this movie is a classic and if you haven’t seen it in a while, do yourself a favor and catch it on Disney+
