Product reviews...
As a kid, Aladdin was always one of my favorite Disney movies. I loved the songs most of all, I think, but it is one of those stories that is beautifully complete and I just came away feeling satisfied every time I watched it. It's still a movie I am happy to watch along with the children I babysit - I suppose it just doesn't have any of those annoying grating bits that so many other children's movies have.
Owning the DVD was definitely a step up from the VHS, from the cleaner quality of the film itself to the 'behind the scenes' documentaries (which I always enjoy). Aladdin is a classic for adults and children alike and one that is certainly worth having in your collection.
Having seen this on Video, I wasn't expecting anything new on the main movie. So I was impressed at the clarity of the image and soundtrack. OK, yes, we all know DVDs have better quality, but this was a drastic improvement over what I was expecting.
The story is still an enchanting now as when I first saw it, and my son is totally enchanted with it. He loves the bits where Genie is particularly silly... well, more so than usual. :)
With the bonus discas well, this had a veritable Cave of Wonders all of it's own, with special extras overflowing. Play the Three Wishes Game to have your fontune revealed, take the Genie World Tour to see the wonders of other cultures, extra Audio Commentaries, and lots more!
Overall, an excellent purchase for any parent, or anyone who still carries a sense of wonder.
