Robin
Williams's dizzying and hilarious voicing of the Genie is the main
attraction of Aladdin, the third in the series of modern Disney animated
movies that began with 1989's The Little Mermaid and heralded a new age for
the genre. After a sultan (Douglas Seale) gives his daughter, Jasmine (Linda
Larkin), three days to find a husband, she escapes the palace and encounters
the street-savvy urchin Aladdin (Scott Weinger), who charms his way into her
heart. While the sultan's Vizier, Jafar (Jonathan Freeman), weaves a spell
so that he may marry Jasmine and become sultan himself, Aladdin discovers
the Genie's lamp in a cave, rubs it, and sets the mystical entity free,
leading the Genie to pledge his undying loyalty to the dazzled youth.
Aladdin begins his quest to defeat Jafar and win the hand of the princess,
with the Genie's help. Monsters, Disney's trademark talking animals, and a
flying carpet all figure into the ensuing adventures, but Williams' Genie,
who can change into anything or anybody, steals the show as he launches into
one crazed monologue after another, impersonating figures from Ed Sullivan
to Elvis Presley.| Scott Weinger | Aladdin [Voice] |
