Aladdin | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction | Movie Review | Movie Commentary 

One of the greatest animated films of all time and one of Robin William's greatest performances. This was Disney at its best.

"It came out long before I was born" Dam you're making me feel old! 😂

Aladdin will always be my favorite. Story is great and voice acting is genius. Robin Williams as Genie and Gilbert Gottfried as Iago can never be replaced.

Love that Dasha was able to detect the real evil mastermind behind it all: Iago

R.I.P to the one and only Robin Williams who plays as the Genie

"A Whole New World" is probably one of my favorite Disney songs: I just don't know how someone writes a melody like that :)

I think this is my favorite disney film. Aladdin is a great hero, Jasmine is a great princess, Jafar is a menacing villain. Robin William's genie is one of the greatest comedic performances of all time. The side characters like abu, magic carpet, rajah, and sultan are all great. Iago is hilarious also. Its got a cool setting, really good songs, a good message, and an awesome finale. What is there not to like?

This movie is one of the best from the 90's Disney. Robin Williams as the genie is just brilliant, genius, I don't have any more descriptions for his performance. There is or are clips of the recording sessions for the fillm on YT. Check them out, they are amazing.

The Golden Age era of Disney is the best and remains so in sharp, overwhelming spite of all the advances made in animation. Because the storytelling has slowly suffered since then. Long live the Golden Age of Storytelling!!! 😊😊😊

Rest in peace Howard Ashman 1950-1991 John Candy 1950-1994 Douglas Seale 1913-1999 Chuck Jones 1912-2002 Al Hirschfeld 1903-2003 John Alvin 1948-2008 Roger Ebert 1942-2013 Robin Williams 1951-2014 Sue C Nichols 1965-2020 Gilbert Gottfried 1955-2022 and Burny Mattinson 1935-2023, John Candy was suggested to voiced the Genie, Roger Ebert was a film critic, he commented the Robin Williams and animation were born for one another, Chuck Jones was a Warner Brothers Cartoons Director, he called the film the funniest feature ever made

Golden age of Disney for a reason. Wild to think back and see how amazing the lineup was. Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, Pocahontas, Hercules, Mulan.

A whole new world is such a beautiful song. Great movie!

I love that Iago is so sadistic and agressive that she thought he was more evil than Jafar. Not your usual hapless henchman.

As a kid, I misheard Jafar's refrain of "Prince Ali" to state "So Prince Ali turns out to be merely a napkin" instead of "merely Aladdin." I now cannot hear that song as an adult without thinking about how Aladdin was a napkin the whole time.

Amazing how well the "Disney movies" from 30+ years ago actually still hold up pretty well. Not just in characters, but also in artwork, music and overall story telling elements. 4th wall, time-skips, 2 sides of the story... so many different methods were used in different ways, and yet STILL remain as interesting and entertaining today as they were back when they first came out.

This was one of the greatest games on the genesis ... Incredible ...

My second favorite Disney movie after Beauty & the Beast. FYI, the original animated versions are much, Much, MUCH better than their live action remakes.

Nobody could ever be able to match up as the genie than Robin Williams

I love how she pronounces "bird" the exact same way Mickey Rourke in Iron Man II.

This is my favorite Disney movie. Back when Disney was still magical

4:04 the joy on dasha's face. 😁

I personally wouldn't recommend the remake because it doesn't capture the magic of the original by a long stretch.

Ahh good old Classic Disney. How the mighty have fallen.

15:35 It's a Rodney Dangerfield impression. Lol

Disney animation was on a losing streak when this movie was made. As several noted here, Robin Williams made the difference. He was only paid 50k for the role and when the movie became a HUGE hit and made hundreds of millions, Williams wasn't given a bonus. Williams vowed never again to work for the evil empire and he kept that vow.

If I remember correctly, most of the script under "Genie" it simply read **Robin speaks**

3:10 "Is that a kids movie?" This is a 90's movie. Some action scenes were common in 90's animated films even Disney. Now if this was made in the 80's, there would be a body count

The late Robin Williams did the lines mixed with several hours of improvisation. HOURS! Eric Goldberg, supervising animator for Genie, once wanted to be in the actual booth with Robin to get some inspiration for the look of the character. He spent almost the entire time with his fist in his mouth to keep him from ruining the recordings from laughing so hard. The voice actor for Jafar would later go on to be the original stage actor for Jafar in the stage production on Broadway. This movie, along with several other Disney Animated films in the 90s, rightfully set the standard for animated storytelling.

Oh i remember Aladdin from back in the day as a kid it's been a while since I've seen the this in 1992 i was 5 years old when it came out it's a classic my all time and my favorite move ever

beauty and the beast was fantastic, but aladdin was un touched... both live action films were also soooo good..

The remake of "Aladdin," like most Disney live action remakes, is a soulless cash grab. Only "Cinderella" was a worthy attempt.

robin Williams was a comedic genius.

Yeah, Robin Williams was just so iconic as the Genie that there's just no way to follow that act. And then there's also Gilbert Gottfried as Iago. Two talents that are sorely missed.

Also grew up watching it and love it

Further proof that Robin Williams was the f’n GOAT. Give him a script he could either stretch his abilities or something he could have fun with, and he’d make you laugh, cry, or both. We were lucky to have him as long as we did.

Can't believe that you've haven seen this before its been a favorite classic for decades, and gold for every Robin Williams fan

I was 10 years old when this movie came out and I absolutely loved it! My sister and I watched it constantly on home video. 10:10 Every time we watched the scene with the lava going through the treasure cave, my sister would yell at Aladdin to "Grab a handful of treasure!" I pointed out that if he had, he would probably have ended up with a handful of lava!

I remember the spinoff show, and I keep wondering how Aladdin made peace with the Captain of the Guard after all captain's murder attempts on him. There might have been something that dealt with that, but it is something that I don't think I could really fully get out of my mind if I was Aladdin.

My favorite Robin Williams role

I don't know if you know this, but when Robin Williams voiced the Genie, he actually got to improvise a lot of his lines. That was one of the skills that made him so great at comedy.

My favorite Disney movie with my favorite Disney character Genie. R.I.P. to the late great Robin Williams (my favorite actor) the man who brought Genie to life

Littler Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King. Absolute bangers back to back.

Robin Williams does such a great job voicing the genie

Ah yes... Aladdin... yes, this film was a little more adult than usual. That's 'cause Disney was "at war". :) You see, a former Disney animator (Don Bluth) had a falling out with the company and started his own film studio not too long afterwards. The animated films he produced were slightly darker than your traditional Disney film and were definitely more successful than Disney at that time. So, Disney changed course and almost a decade later, "the Disney Renaissance" arrived that included gems like this one.

It’s always a pleasure to join you in watching movies and see your reactions. 💕🥰👉🌹

God how I miss Robin Williams... and his singing, his sheer presence even as a toon. His energy, wit his raw talent.

This is my favourite Disney movie. I was so excited finally having a arab character in Disney plus it was one of my favourite childhood story’s

4:47 The way he yelled. 🤣🤣🤣

Fun fact Robin Willliams DID NOT want his name plastered on ads or posters before the movie came out. He wanted people to see it, to see it. Because it's a good movie. Because it's fun. But... Disney didn't completely hold up on that, and his name was in some stuff, although not all. Anyways he's great as Genie of course

The One and Only Robin Williams! The One and Only ''Genie of the Lamp!'' The world misses his genius, RIP!

RIP to the great Robin Williams. He MADE the movie. He's also the one who really started the trend of casting major Hollywood actors in animated films, leading directly to appearances like Eddie Murphy in Mulan and Shrek. Before that, voice acting was largely specialist work. Williams ultimately adlibbed a lot of his dialogue, which certainly didn't make things easy on the animators. There's video of him in the recording booth on RU-vid where he just GOES OFF and it's HI-LARIOUS. The merchant in the beginning is also voiced by Williams. And it's popularly speculated that he's actually the Genie (he DOES have many of the same mannerisms). Iago was voiced by the late Gilbert Gottfried, who sadly passed away last year. He probably has one of THE most recognizable voices in Hollywood, and he had SO many memorable roles as a result of it. He was a regular on a classic game show called Hollywood Squares. There was a positively LEGENDARY moment of him mocking the contestants who failed to answer the final questions. He was utterly BRILLIANT as an insult comic. The fact they end up in China at one point is funny, because that's where the original story of Aladdin actually takes place. It's only connection to the Arabian Peninsula is that it's one of the tales being told by Scheherazade in the Thousand and One Nights. There was also actually two genies. The first, and the one Aladdin found in the cave, was the Genie of the Ring. The Genie of the Ring later guided Aladdin to the more powerful Genie of the Lamp. When the Genie of the Lamp is captured by the villain, it's the Genie of the Ring that helps Aladdin resolve the problem. There also was NOT a limit on the number of wishes in the Aladdin story. Instead, this came from the Fisherman and the Jinni, another story from the Thousand and One Nights. And even then, it wasn't the original boon the Genie offered to whomever freed it (and by the time he WAS freed, he was so pissed off from his imprisonment he intended to kill his liberator, and the Fisherman has to trick the Jinni to spare his life). This story DID have a Middle-Eastern setting, as the Jinni was imprisoned by King Solomon of Israel, so elements of this story got conflated with the Aladdin story over time.

I remember coming to my late grandfather's house from primary school (he used to pick me up) where I would always watch this every afternoon. Such memories! 😊

Kids movie indeed.... but Aladin did crash into a brothel at the start (those weren't harem girls).

Great reaction! Aladdin is such a great film. My favorite Disney film

Who ever is in possession of the lamp is the current master

F in the chat for Robin Williams. Often imitated, never duplicated.

The bird is the master mind 😮

"It came out _long_ before I was born. I didn't know that it came out _that_ long ago." Jeez, way to make me feel a million years old - talking about Aladdin like it might as well be as old as Snow White.

The late Robin Williams made this movie. Without his improvisational genius, Disney would not have the classic it does. RIP Robin!

Legendary cuteness ...

9:58 ..."Make friend along the way"...Isn't that the treasure of the One Piece? Damm you, Gold Rogers...DAMMM YOUUUU!!!

Technically, Aladdin was a prince since he wished to be one.

"Is it safe?" "Sure, do you trust me?"

In re: "hard to watch with swords and such" For the era, this was *incredibly* tame. 80's cartoons/childrens movies tended to be *very* dark. This was light-hearted banter by comparison. Pre-Disney lightening things up, the idea behind fairy tales was often described as "Showing children not that monsters exist -- they already know that -- but rather that monsters can be killed."

Hi Dasha!😊 I agree, this is not an animated film for young children. Robin Williams did a great job with voice work as always. Great reactions to this animated classic, Dasha!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏 Have a great weekend, Kiddo!😊

"I didn't know it came out that long ago." Sheesh. shots fired in the first 20 seconds. Saw it in theaters. The voice actors sound so young now.

I love Aladdin, especially the Genie 🧞‍♂

You know Jafar's genie wish unlocks an factory of infiite wish making. Someone wishes to be a genie. You pass the lamp around making wishes. Then the last person wishes to be a genie themselves and then wishes the previous one free. On and on and on. Endless wishes.

The incomparable Robin Williams made this movie. Almost all of his lines were ad libbed

1:37 "on a dark *Arabian* night..." dasha has a natural way with words. 😊

18:42 ..."Oh my God, look at his eyes, they're red"... Some weed to release the steam, the guy has to rule a country, give him some slack....

the most realistic disney movie ever. the guy tells the girl to trust him, then lies for most of the rest of the movie

The sequel "return of Jafar" sucked but it started the animated series, but the 3rd one "the King of Thieves " was a perfect ending

Robin Williams was absolutely perfect in this movie.

this was one of my favorite Disney movies

it's too bad Jasmine never got her wishes, she held the lamp (even if it was for only 2 seconds) so she could've wished Genie free if Aladdin used his last wish to defeat Jafar in the end

I was 11 when this came out, and I *still* have a crush on Jasmine!

Will you ride with me on a magic carpet??? You ain't never had a friend like me. ✌️❤️🌹

I love this movie. Robin Williams is great as the Genie. The music is great too. I wish Disney would hurry up and get back to making great movies again.

Please, please, please! STOP MAKING ME FEEL OLD! Lol! ''I didn't know that it came out that long ago...!'' It wasn't that long ago! Only thirty years or so! Lol!

I question peoples childhoods if they haven’t watched the child Disney movie staples😂🤣😂

To hear something from the 90’s called “so long ago” or “that old” hurts lol. I was born in 1991, I thought us millennials were still kids!

Ooohhh Dasha you make me feel so old. I remember watching this as a kid.

Aladdin 1992 My Favorite movie ❤❤

Fun fact: Aladdin and another movie, Bicentennial Man led to 2 fallouts between Robin Williams and Disney. Coincidentally, both involved his character wanting freedom.

The amount of fun they must have had with Robin in the studio and his improv. Can't imagine how much stuff didn't make it into the final cut but was probably killing the staff.

The live action remakes will never live up to the magic of the originals. Better to just watch all the originals, and spend the time you would spend watching the remakes watching something else that isn't a soulless cash grab. I haven't seen this version for over 20 years. I'm going to go dig out the old VHS now and watch it tomorrow!

I love this movie, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and others

My youngest sister wanted to be an actress never happend but she did play aladins mother in a a play once, in the Arabian Knights book Aladdin has 2 genies the lamp is the main one but he had a ring that had a non eccentric genie that he forgot about until rubbed the ring not remembering the genie was in it after he lost the lamp

My favorite Disney movie.

Back when Disney was still cool.

"It came out LONG before I was born." You don't have to put that much emphasis on making me feel old. I saw this at the movies.

Absolutely a classic!

11:34 how about Robert Williams that'll be a hoot. Rip man the fuuny guy i ever seen

The bird was not the mastermind, he had one idea

Happy Birthday Dasha you look tremendously beautiful as you are❤

Robin Williams did the voice of the genie - he was a famous comediane

Great Video Dasha! Love it!

The first movie we took my daughter to.

GenX kids were a different breed. We are, by far, one of the toughest generations in all history. We took all these insults and cartoon violence in stride, and we knew not to do those things in real life, but our friends also knew to expect some of those insults at one time or another.
