SFC Reviewer's Opinion:
Limited Recommendation

Genre
Animation / Adventure / Comedy / Family / Fantasy / Musical
   
Synopsis

Imagine if you had three wishes, three hopes, three dreams and they all could come true! Street urchin Aladdin wanders the streets of an ancient city, scraping a living with his faithful monkey friend Abu. One day, having tired of being confined to the palace that overlooks the city, Princess Jasmine sneaks into the marketplace where she bumps into Aladdin. The path of love at first sight never did run smooth though and the evil Jafar, advisor to the Sultan, orders that Aladdin be thrown in prison. In fact, while there, Aladdin becomes embroiled in Jafar's nefarious plot to recover a mysterious old lamp that will allow him to rule the land. Can Aladdin recover the lamp? Will the anarchic genie (voiced by Robin Williams) grant his wish and make him a prince so he can marry the princess?
