You Ain't Never Had a Friend Like Me: Liz Graves

I am so sorry, Mr. Logsdon, I could not for the life of me figure out how to post a review on Rotten Tomatoes. This is my critique of Disney's Aladdin. I hope this is okay!

Aladdin is the classic rags-to-riches fairy tale, but it is unique in that it is told from the perspective of a man. Imagine, ladies, a man actually putting some effort into a relationship... Aladdin is a poor young vagabond living on the streets of Agrabah, when he is suddenly arrested because he supposedly kidnaps princess Jasmine. While in jail, he meets a villainous Jafar, adviser to the Sultan, who tricks him into opening the Cave of Wonders. There, he meets the Geni, who promises to grant him three wishes. With its thrilling battles with snakes, romantic carpet rides around the world, and fantastic musical numbers with Robin Williams, what's not to love about this movie? Few films can so easily be enjoyed by all age groups. Witticisms and quirky references for the adults, magical lands and fantastic beats for the kids, this movie has it all! This is truly one of Disney's masterpieces. I give it 5 out 5 stars, and recommend it to 1-100 year-olds.
