""Aladdin" (voiced by Scott Weinger) is a homeless person living on the streets of the Arabian city of "Agrabah". He must steal food to survive, and is frowned upon by the shopkeepers. However, he has a heart of gold and will give anything he stole to any one in greater need than he. One day, he helps a beautiful woman who got herself into some trouble with a local shopkeeper. To his surprise, this woman turns out to be the princess "Jasmine" (voiced Linda Larkin). Shortly after the royal guards throw "Aladdin" into the dungeon shortly after they find him with the princess, he meets a strange old man who tells him of a magical lamp, hidden for centuries in a magical place called the "Cave of Wonders" that can only be accessed by a "Diamond in the Rough". The two escape from the dungeon, and "Aladdin" gets the lamp only to learn that the old man is not who he claims to be. The man leaves "Aladdin" and his pet monkey, "Abu" (voiced by Frank Welker) in the "Cave of Wonders". While tryi ... "

"Poor Disney. The studio tries to do good by finally producing an animated movie featuring a black princess (The Princess and the Frog, out Christmas 2009) and it’s still called out for being racist. Since this past weekend’s debut of the teaser trailer for the film, a return to traditional 2-D animation (can the new computer-assisted techniques still qualify these films as “hand-drawn” or “cel” animation?) after a five-year drought, blogs such as Vulture and Defamer have noted possibly offensive stereotypes in the movie. Well, what do you want? A return to traditional Disney films or racism-free films? As displayed in the montage featured as today’s clip of the day, most of our beloved Disney classics unfortunately have th "

"I keep forgetting that Kung Fu Panda is a real movie. I mostly relate the computer-animated panda character with his cross-promotional spots for AMC Theatres (memory escapes me again: is it for silencing your cellphone or anti-piracy or something entirely different?). But now that we have this full trailer for the DreamWorks Animation movie, I’m reminded that it is in fact a feature release. Unfortunately, it arrived a few days after the new trailer for The Forbidden Kingdom, and I’ve already laid dibs on my most anticipated martial arts film of 2008. Sure, Kung Fu Panda also features Jackie Chan (or his voice, anyway), here as “Master Monkey”, but when it comes to kung fu beginners, I’ll take Michael Angarano over the voice of Jack Black any day. I shouldn’t be too harsh on Black (especially after yesterday’s unnecessarily

Disney Continue Their Lucky Streak

"With two viable hits under their collective belts (The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast), Disney conjured up yet another hit, Aladdin. The songwriting team of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman create yet another stunning soundtrack, but it's mostly Robin Williams unhinged performance as The Genie that steals the show and makes this film so entertaining. It's almost like Williams was MADE for this part - his manic energy in his standup routine could be barely contained by his flesh - and here in animated form, it doesn't have to be. One gripe is the stereotypes present in the film. True, it takes place in the middle east, and most supporting characters look the part - except the two very American looking leads. But what do you expect? It's Disney, for crying out loud. Another gripe is their spinelessness in changing a lyric to the first song of the film because some overprotective mothers wrote tear-blotted letters to Disney telling them it's "inapropriat ... "

"I was somewhere in between sixth grade and ninth grade because I hadn't kissed a girl yet and I had moved from New Orleans to Covington, a close 30 minute drive from the Big Easy. My brother made new friends and my brother's new friends often skipped high school parties to stay inside, watch movies, and play hide-and-go-seek. His lady friend had a little sister who way age and a younger brother who was my little sister's age. It was like royalty. My parents let us all stay up late at night because we were under their roof and we would just watch movies. Nobody ever found a beer bottle cap, a cigarette butt, or a vibrator-condom-scream, because there never was any. One of the girls would quote Aladdin the entire time and she made me not want to take part in the tradition any longer. "
