Disney has finally released their older collection on 4K and it gives a nice boost to detail and colors. Aladdin does end up a shade darker from the pristine blu-ray included, but each must decide their preferred version. Overall, recommended for everyone as you can decide your preference since both 4K and blu-ray are included.

It's hard to pick a favorite Disney movie, but Aladdin is definitely at the top! I have waited a long time to pick this one up. Since BestBuy had the best price on Black Friday, I decided now would be the perfect time to purchase it. Great edition, will definitely be re-watching several times in the future.

Not the best ever Disney movie but it has Robin Williams and Gilbert Gottfried! Funny and with some decent songs. Disney’s initial attempts to merge 3D with 2D are jarring but give them some credit—3D was still new. Much better image and Atmosphere sound make it a nice version to watch and hear.

Owned the original VHS which was ruined by water. Was SO glad they released this to Blu-ray! This movie is so funny and great. Robin Williams makes this movie hilarious! Songs are ones that stick in your head too! (if you don't mind that). Just a great movie to watch with or without children!

This is the second time that Aladdin has been released on blu-ray and it's my second time purchasing a copy. Its almost similar to the diamond edition with a few different added bonuses. I don't care because this is one of my favorite animated movies, I grew up watching this during the 90's.

The classic animated film about a streetrat w/ a heart of gold (not the newer abomination recently in theaters. The steelbook looks great too. If you want to watch how good disney 2d animation was back then, go watch this instead of the live action remakes. You won't regret it.

First the steelbook is beautiful. The artwork is perfect and what a better souvenir than this steelbook to celebrate the 4K release. Now to the 4K video. Super crips animation and the HDR makes the colors pop. This is the definitive version of Aladdin. Highly recommend.

The animated version is still better than the people version! The extras are very illuminating. I learned things i did not know about the actors who did the voices of the characters. It was very interesting. This Signature Collection is definitely worth buying!

I am picky about the movies that I buy in 4K due to the prices, but, this was a must. The classic Aladdin with Robin Williams. In 4K it is awesome and saw details that I don't even remember when I ran it in the theatres. Great upgrade for those with 4K systems!

I enjoyed this movie far more than I thought I would. Will Smith is no Robin Williams but Disney got around that by not portraying the genie's story in a different way. I thought Smith did a great job and if watch it with an open mind Aladdin is a great time.

A Whole New World For All of Us

Of all of the Walt Disney films that have come out over the years on Blu-Ray, I have been more excited for Aladdin than anything else. Of all of Disney's "Big Four" of their fabled Renaissance period, The Lion King was the first to grace High Definition in 2011, quickly followed by Beauty and the Beast. The Little Mermaid joined them in 2013, and now Aladdin adds the complete touch, with just the right hint of magic.
Aladdin, based on the Arabian fairytale, takes place in the mythical city of Agrabah, where Aladdin, a street rat forced to steal in order to survive, is taken aghast by the beauty of the Princess Jasmine, who seeks independence from an ancient law forcing her to marry a prince. In order to win her heart, Aladdin turns to the aid of the Genie, a wisecracking maker of magic that yearns for his freedom, and wishes himself a Prince. But, conflicted by his choices, he must also deal with the villain Jafar, the Royal Vizer that seeks the throne for himself.
In terms of story, the film is absolutely great. It holds down all of the usual romantic cliches and opts for great characters, and an even better villain. But where Aladdin shines is really in its comedy. Sure, the other films are funny, but the Genie is really what carries this film, from his impersonation of modern day celebrities (the Jack Nicholson impersonation stands as my favorite), to his quick quips. I don't think this film would hold up without the Genie.
As for the animation, it is superb. While I do think that the Lion King holds the title for better animation, Aladdin is certainly a close second, with the stunning visuals of Agrabah, to the blending of CGI to create the carpet and the Cave of Wonders, and the famous sequence from "A Whole New World" to give it that taste of coming close to being there.
As far as voice acting goes, credit has to go to Robin Williams as the Genie. His talent was just amazing, and I was really saddened to hear of his passing. He truly is the heart and soul of the Genie, and he will be missed. The other actors also do an outstanding job. Scott Weigner and Linda Larkin both play off each other well as Aladdin and Jasmine, and Frank Welker makes Abu an enjoyable kleptomaniac monkey. Jonathan Freeman also stands out as Jafar, giving an eerie feeling of gloominess along the lines of horror film stars like Boris Karloff. And let's not forget about Iago, that little complainer of a parrot, as Gilbert Gottfried just goes all out with it. The Sultan, voiced by Douglas Seele, is also funny, because he's this giddy little ruler that almost has a little child-like personality to him.
The character development is also nicely done, though I feel that Beauty and the Beast did it better. Yes, Aladdin does get the girl after he lies to her face, but what did you expect? Most Disney movies do often give the wrong message, but we still love them anyway. In the end, Aladdin is willing to give up his chance to be with Jasmine because he would rather see Genie free after all that happened. Maybe there's just a hidden message that we aren't aware of, I don't know.
And let's not forget about the music. Though the Little Mermaid might have had its notable numbers, Aladdin really stands out with "Friend Like Me", because let's face it; that song is hilarious. Everything about it, from the lyrics, to the visuals behind it, is just a serious crack up, and there's nothing not to love about it. "Prince Ali" and "One Jump" are also fun songs, and I will admit I have a little soft spot for "Arabian Nights", but "A Whole New World" stands out as being the best song, because it gives a really dramatic and unforgettable feel. We all have to thank Alan Menken, Tim Rice, and the late Howard Ashman for such wonderful songs.
In the end, Aladdin is still a masterpiece in its own right. Not perfect by any means necessary, but it is something everyone will enjoy for generations to come. This will not only preserve Disney's legacy, but also Robin William's, for this will ensure that people remember a man who made us all laugh. We'll miss you Robin.

I’ve enjoyed the 4K transfers Disney has been putting out on their older animated classics. What really makes these shine is the HDR. Colors pop nicely and help keep these films looking great and current. Aladdin is my favorite and I’m glad it’s out in 4K.

Aladdin is an absolute delight of a film. The music, voice acting, and animation are all top notch. The songs are infectious and Robin Williams is just perfect as Genie. Perfect for all ages. Video and Audio are reference and the Steelbook is beautiful.

The 1992 version of Aladdin is the most favorite cartoon movie of my kids, and mine as well. We have been watching it on VHS for so many times. We missed the last release of DVD version of Aladdin. We are very happy now to get this new release.
